    Definitely.

    I've got some lovely SOLO arm warmers and they get a lot of wear. Very practical and versatile.

    Arm warmers are a great addition at this time of year when you have a chilly start but warming up later. They are easy to remove and carry. If you wear long sleeves you are stuck with them. I did a ride recently where it was about 9 or 10 degress at 9.00am but 25 degrees a couple of hours later, a long sleeve jersey would have been uncomfortable!

    +1 had nearly two years no & still going strong

    have been great when commuting on 6-2 shift as needed for early morning but might not be in afternoon

    or for longer rides which has been said they start of chilli but if then warms they are easily removed.

    i would also recommend a buff if you havent already got one, they had so many uses & like warms easy to put on or remove.

    +1 I've got a few pairs of the armwarmers and they're lovely and toasty.

    Jonbob are the leg warmers just as warm?

    I managed to pick up a pair of discount Nike ones, after they discontinued their cycling stuff.

    Aside from the obvious nike association, people seem very keen on them - asking where I got them - mainly tall skinny people who can't find warmers which are tight enough and long enough.

    JE James were selling the Nike ones off at silly prices a few years ago, but when I went to order some I got a mail a few days later saying they were all out of stock. Always liked them though

    Nike still do cycling stuff, mainly for Livestrong: http://www.store-laf.org/cycling.html

    They have arm and leg warmers there, and it's for a great cause.

    I agree it's a good cause but would rather my money went to other cancer charities than to LAF

    True - but mine don't have livestrong all over them!!

    It was pre-comeback, post retirement.

    In fact, mine was a totally pointless post, given that that window has long gone.
