Arm warmers, yep simple things and if you use them already then this article is not for you. I bought some reasonably priced black Lusso arm warmers nigh on five years ago and have not looked back. They are an integral part of my cycling wardrobe and get worn for eight months of the year when its just warm enough not to need a full sleeve jersey and its a rare summers day when I can be sure of not needing them.
So what makes them so great? They keep your arms warm natch, but then half an hour into your ride and the sun comes out you can role them done and cool of and catch some rays, then on the shady descent, back up they role with out hopping of your bike. If you get real lucky with the weather they are thin enough to stuff in a jersey back pocket too. There comfy and aero, no baggy sleeves to flap and funnel wind up to your armpits. And they just look PRO.
