Morning all,

Currently using the DHB knee warmers but finding the grippers ultra uncomfortable but also they are pretty short onlu just cover either side of the knee and my bibs only just cover the top.

Anyone use a knee warmer which is longer so covers most of the thigh?

Cheers :?

    Pearl Izumi ones come most of the way up on me. Endura ones very much don't.

    I have some from Santini that are pretty long. You can get them at Prendas: http://www.prendas.co.uk/details.asp?typ=typ&fkid=15&ID=2415

    Pearl Izumi are by far the longest knee warmers that I have

    Hincapie Arenberg seem to be the longest about, practically leg warmers for some!

    The new Rapha bundle offer of knee and arm warmers for £65 is tempting though.....

    Come to mid-calf on me but they are thin lycra on the back and windproof on front and dual gripper so work well. £65 for arm/legwarmers!! You pays your money.......

    What's the sizing like - small, generous?
    Big H

    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind always be at your back.

    Not small but not generous. I'm a mdium in shorts etc and got the medium warmers - I've not got chunky legs.

    I've got the Craft 3D Cycling Knee Warmers.

    They are bloody long,almost to the top of the (very skinny) thigh but this is good as they stay in place with no movement 8)


    Now if only my arm warmers would stay in place :x

    Castelli warmers come right up to the top of the thigh
