Assos knee warmers
Had to buy some new knee warners due to a cold spell in Scotland.
Bought some Assos ones. They fitted fine in the shop but I was a bit worried that there are no real leg grippers at the top, they're just very slightly stretchy (using the material itself and no extra elastic). Thought that because it was Assos they would have it sorted. Unfortunately they're not staying up. It's either my sparrow legs or the warmers themselves.
Anyone else noticed this problem? Wondering if I can take them back to the shop as they're not fit for purpose!

No problems with mine, though I guess they did shift downwards slightly over the rides where I've used them. The only complaint is that the elastic sits a little too snug on my calves, since I'm tallish I might have preferred them to be a little longer, but the stretch and compression is fantastic.
I have one pair of Assos bibs, and the elastic is quite snug around the thigh (in a good way), I wonder whether that might help while using the knee warmers.
