Cycling leg warmers for riding in spring or autumn
Leg warmers or tights?
You can take leg warmers off on the road, but not tights. In fall, that is the deciding argument. If you start at 7 a.m. at 8°C and ride at 18°C at 11 a.m., you skip the decision in the morning.
You wear them under the bib shorts: the leg of the shorts lies over the leg warmer. Elastic hems with silicone hold them in position at the top of the thigh.
If you want to cover only the knees, choose knee warmers. They end just below the knee and are enough on many fall days, because the knee is the first joint to cool down.
