Questions and Answers about Arm Warmers cycling

Is there a difference between running arm warmers and cycling arm warmers?

Sep 28, 2010 by Rachel | Posted in Cycling

Question: I'm a cyclist who just moved to a colder region of the U.S. and am starting to stock up on cold gear. Is there a difference between arm warmers for runners and arm warmers for cyclists? I ask because there seems to be a price difference (generally higher for the cycling ones).

Answer: Well, cycling has higher speeds - and therefore - lower windchill factor.

"Cycling" specific arm warmers may be made from denser material that is more wind resistance - and perhaps that is why they cost more.

That being said, anything that

dhb Pace Roubaix Leg Warmers

22.02.12

Previously on road.cc we've tested Pace Roubaix arm-warmers from dhb. Now we've got a pair of dhb Pace Roubaix leg-warmers to go with them.

When the weather it too mild for full winter cycling gear, but there's still a nip in the air, then it might be time to consider a pair of leg-warmers. In fact if you live in one of the milder parts of the country you could probably use these with no problem for most of the winter too.

As their name implies, these items are designed cover each leg, from thigh to ankle. In case you're wondering, they're also designed to wear with a pair of shorts.

You can wear them with your favourite shorts all day, instead of a pair of long tights, but the real benefit of leg-warmers is flexibility: on a spring sportive or long training ride, you can start off wearing them to ward off the early morning chill, and take them off later when the sun comes out. They'll fit into a back pocket on your cycling jersey if you're not carrying too much other stuff.
