Do you often cycle early in the morning, on cool days, or in spring? Then cycling arm warmers, also known as arm warmers , are an essential item in your cycling wardrobe (just like leg warmers ). These loose sleeves offer extra warmth and protection when you need it, but are also easy to remove and store when it warms up. Thanks to their flexibility, arm warmers are a clever part of the layering principle: you can adapt your clothing to the conditions without having to change.
What exactly do arm warmers do?
Arm warmers protect your arms from the cold, wind, and sun, without having to wear a long cycling jersey. Made of stretchy, breathable material, they fit snugly against your skin. This prevents wind from getting to your body, while quickly wicking away sweat. Many arm warmers also feature a soft, brushed interior for extra warmth and comfort in lower temperatures. They are compact and lightweight, so you can easily carry them in the back pocket of your cycling jersey.
Comfort, protection and ease of use
What makes arm warmers so popular is their versatility. You can pull them on for a brisk morning ride, during a mountain descent, or when the weather suddenly changes. Thanks to silicone grippers on the upper part, they stay securely in place and won't slide off while cycling. Pre-curved designs ensure the fabric moves smoothly with your arms without pinching or bunching. Some styles also feature reflective elements for added visibility in low light.
- Elastic material: fits well without pinching
- Breathable and moisture-regulating: prevents overheating
- Brushed inside: for extra warmth in cool weather
- Silicone grippers: so they don't slip off while cycling
- Pre-formed design: anatomical fit for maximum freedom of movement
- Reflective details: for better visibility in traffic
Who are arm warmers suitable for?
Arm warmers are suitable for both men and women (unisex), and ideal for:
- Cyclists: during spring classics or early training rides
- Mountain bikers: for trail rides in changing weather conditions
- Gravel riders & commuters: an extra layer of protection against wind and cold
- Touring cyclists: optimal comfort without having to carry extra clothing
