Just ordered a pair of Nanoflex warmers size Large and they are far too tight so are being returned

I have typical rugby/weightlifters build- with 16 inch biceps.

Not sure if the size XL warmers are any bigger in circumference or whether they are just longer so would appreciate any advice before ordering if anyone else has the same problem.

    Probably better of looking at a different brand, Castelli stuff is small fitting for racing snakes not rugby players. Add to this that Nanoflex isn't very stretchy anyway I think you'd be struggling. Could try Rapha Classic which will be more stretchy and a more relaxed fit.

    Sounds right, Castelli are the only ones I have found that aren't loose at the top on my stick arms.

    Prendas Meraklon are the best arms I've tried - but I am puny armed - and they never fall down on me.
