Arm, Leg & Knee Warmers for Triathlon

In triathlon, warmers play a different role than in cycling. Over short distances they are hardly relevant in competition, but they are in training and over long distances in cool weather.
Keep transition in mind
The decisive difference to a cycling race: you come out of the water wet. Pulling arm or leg warmers over damp skin takes much more time in transition than most people expect. If you use them in competition, you therefore usually lay them over the handlebar in advance or put them on before the start, if the rules allow it.
In training, the same applies as on the road bike: arm warmers cover the widest temperature range and can be rolled down on the way. Knee warmers protect the joint if the legs should otherwise stay uncovered.
There is one difference to cycling in terms of material. Coated or aerodynamically textured warmers are common in time trials, but are not allowed everywhere in triathlon.
Check the competition rules of your event. What may be put on in transition is not regulated the same everywhere.
