Speaking of loot: arm warmers

[Susie]

Are there better ones and less good ones? Anything I should look for when shopping for them? I want a pair for running and cycling.

I only have one pair, so no room to compare, but I picked up a pair on clearance last year by Sugoi. They are perfectly fine. Just make sure they are tight enough to stay put (I tried to use H's awhile ago when mine were dirty - no go).

That makes sense, I was also wondering if some are shorter than others. I'm pretty short, and my arms are proportional.

Between work and training though, I'm mostly limited by time to online shopping. That makes it hard!

I have a pair of Brooks that I picked up on clearance on running warehouse last year. I'm short too and they come almost up to my shoulder, but that doesn't bother me.

I have some Asics ones that I like because they have thumb holes and I can pul them down to cover my hands.

I just bought a Pearl Izumi shrug that I am digging.  Not arm warmers, per say, but you may like the little zipping option.

Mine have all been made from old socks, so...yeah. Those are probably the less good ones.

I'm short too (5'2") and have more than once accidentally worn my knee warmers as arm warmers.  I have some Pearl Izumi arm warmers that are fine.  They're very much full sleeves on me so I usually pair them with a sleeveless top.  I've also borrowed husbands Castelli ones and like those too.

I have pairs from Voler, Sugoi, Hincapie, Castelli, and others. They all fit a bit differently, but I can't say I dislike any of them.

I have this thing and LOVE it.
