Fellow spaghetti armed cyclists, what arm warmers are you using?

    Castelli Nanoflex in medium are a good fit for my long thin arms. Sticky grippers on both sides at top to stop them slipping down.

    I have the same problem - skinny arms.
    These Specialized ones are tight fitting and fairly elastic too. They are fleece lined so not suitable for summer. Spring/Autumn is best.

    I find the Gore arm warmers too loose fitting. If that helps.

    I'd recommend Sportful No Rain. Great length on them too.

    LOL! My Pearl Izumi arm warmers are well made and the right length, but apparently I need bigger "pipes" because they keep slipping down. :( I swim twice a wheel so my arms aren't insanely scrawny, but apparently not big enough for Pearl Izumi fans.

    Assoss (sic) in the sales. Otherwise DHB from those who are to be blamed.

    Another vote for Sportful NoRain arm warmers. My arms are pretty thin, but the warmers still fit quite tightly.

    Castelli Nanoflex... but my old pair fitted like a glove until they got trashed in a crash, replaced with a new pair of mediums which are a little too large for me. Only slightly big though so I use couple of elastic bands off inner tubes to help keep them up :lol: (unless I'm wearing a jersey with tighter sleeves like a gabba in which case it isn't a problem).

    If in doubt, blame Wiggle.

    As an aside, the Castelli Nanoflex and Sportful NoRain arm warmers are the same product. Except Castelli lettering costs more.

    judging by the tightness, skins arm warmers are for skinny guys. I am not that muscly a woman, but, boy, are they tight on my biceps. I love that they come in SPF50 ....

    Assos size large/2 are super tight and long so a good bet for those with pipe cleaner arms. Assos medium are the same width but shorter (too short for me). They're both tighter than the castelli nano flex mediums which are a similar length as Assos large but more comfortable. The Castelli's are a bit warmer too and my favourites.
