Live and Learn
 
I pretty much wear large sizes for cycling apparel in most manufacturers lines. I've had a pair of leg warmers for several years that are large but invariably they would wind up below my knees. I had the same issue with some knee warmers.

I know I have skinny legs so I tried some medium sized leg and knee warmers. They work perfectly! Both are just a shade shorter than I'd like and the leg warmers a hair tighter than what I'd prefer but they now stay in place. Life is good for now.

I had the same issues with bibs. I kept going by the charts they give when making an order and they were all ill fitting when I got them. One day I decided to call Velowear and asked if I could try there mediums. The legs were a little short, until I lost 8 pounds and what the stomach took up, it made the leg length just right.;)

You guys are making me feel bad. I've been gradually moving to larger sizes.

The meanings of "small," "medium," and "large" have changed along with the size of Americans.
