Arm Warmers/Compression Sleeves

You might need to get a ladies size if you actually want them to fit snugly.

just get arm warmers. The asics ones are good and fit fine on my skinny arms.

I saw a review of those and people said they were made of cotton and got wet easily...

well don't wear them in the rain.

problem solved

i've tried out 2 other few brands, and the asics ones are by far the best fitting and most comfortable for me. Also, they are the probably the cheapest.

save your money

Use tube socks like we did back in the day. Some even have cool racing stripes (football and basketball variety).

Or if you want to update the look, use solid color soccer socks.

dual prupose product!

The asics ones are great. theyre like 8 bucks, they're warm but not too warm. I've raced with them in the rain and was glad to have them. theyre much more body temp adjustable than taking off a full layer of clothes or rolling up your sleeves. and most importantly, they cover the back of my forearms, which always freeze even when i have long sleeves on

I meant like they get wet from sweat...

I think I\'m down to 2-3 different kinds.

The asics ones for like 8 bucks.

the nike ones that are 20 i think

and the zensah ones'

just got some of the $8 asics ones, and I wasn't too happy with the material they are made of, it's not cotton, but some kind of blend. Also not a fan of the one size fits all, too long for my taste.

i"ve used the nike one's before, which are more of a spandex. wish i would have just ordered another pair.

Easy.

Order yourself some Swiftwick Arm Warmers. Made of Olefin so they breathe incredibly while being really warm as well.

Why wear compression sleeves? If your arms are cold, wear a long sleeve t-shirt. If your arms are warm, don't wear anything to cover them. I have never once thought to myself, "Wow, I would be racing so much better right now if the area from my forearm to my biceps was a little warmer."

Your arms are never cold? Mine are generally much colder than the rest of my body

Then why not wear a long sleeve shirt? If my forearms are cold, my upper arms usually are as well. So I will just wear long sleeves. What is the appeal of the compression sleeve? It doesn't cover your whole arm. There is skin exposed.

you can take them off and carry them more easily than a long sleeve. or roll them down to cool off slightly

The reason I choose arm warmers rather than a long-sleeve shirt is that my arms sometimes get cold without anything, but often the extra layer of the shirt under my uniform makes my core too warm.

so either zensah or theres another one called pearl izumi arm warmers...

if you buy a pair of flats from running warehouse, they'll throw in some armwarmers FREE

check out pearl izumi too. they always make good stuff when it comes to arm warmers and things like that.
