Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Leg Warmers Like ProTogs?

I am probably dating myself, but here goes:

I have a WONDERFUL set of wool leg warmers made by ProTogs, from the 1980's. It seems the company is no longer in business.

Sadly, they are starting to show their age and now have several holes in them...and will need to be replaced soon.

Can anyone recommend a good brand of leg warmers that are similar to these classics?

Doug

I have Louis Garneau Leg Warmers which work very well, and they don't compress too tight but it's not too loose either. I've rode with them in 50 degree weather and even in very hard rain, and it still kept my leg warm.

86% Nylon, 14% Spandex

Very Smooth and warm in the inside too.

PI makes wool arm warmers, but sadly they dont make wool leg warmers. If you find some please post where you found them.
