Description
When the temperature falls, it can be tempting to reach immediately for your winter kit. An adaptable pair of knee warmers helps to bridge the gap between seasons and can extend the year round versatility of your favourite summer bibs. Made with a high-stretch fabric with a brushed back inner, our Thermal Knee Warmers provide an impressive level of added insulation, wick sweat away from the skin and provide excellent breathability to help regulate your temperature. Seams have been carefully positioned to avoid bunching behind the knee while the robust, elasticated gripper sits comfortably beneath your bib shorts and provides a secure fit around the thigh. A pink tab makes taking the warmers on and off easy, and there’s a contrast Rapha logo on the calf for added visibility.

Stitching came loose
Although effective at keeping the old knobblers warm, the stitching came apart within a couple of weeks of use. Not what I was expecting after paying a premium price!

Fit well. Don’t sag
These are one of my favorites because I do not enjoy the knee bunch I get from bib tights. A pair of these and some thermal bibs and you got all the mobility you need! Very pleased. Grippers keep them in place. They don’t stretch out or sag. I also like these because they are a bit longer than typical knee warmers (that or I am just short) so they cover more leg without bunching.

Scored these great knee warmers during the sale
I live in the PNW(Seattle,WA) with the relatively mild winters. I usually wear thermal knee warmers when the temps hit between 50 to early 40s before I switch to Winter Tights. In the past, Ive used other brands in which they design them to be shorter in length which causes the knee warmers to pull down or loosen. Rapha Thermal knee covers are great, has a longer length to prevent slippage or loosening, the grippers hold them where they need to be even when Im sweaty and keep my legs warm on the descents. I tend to run hot, but I don't feel like I overheat when wearing them. Ive only had them for 3 weeks and worn them 7 or 8 times so I speak to the durability, but the look brand new after wear and washing.

A bit too long... and too tight on the thigh!
Decent enough quality but they seem unnecessarily long for knee warmers. They are also too tight on the thigh - much tighter than any of their competitors in the same size, which is a real shame!

Very useful & versatile piece of kit.
Love these. Bought them for Spain and thankfully didn't need them. But since used them on our early club rides and then taken them off at the coffee shop. Some people are complaining about the length. I love them. If you want them as knee warmers pull up higher - if it's really cold they will cover your legs with the help of some long socks. Brilliant! Also will take them to the top of an Alp in the summer.

Wonderful Product
Rapha is known for quality and these are no exception. They are put together well and smooth on the inside. No exposed or rough seems to cause any rubbing on your legs. Given that I am only 5' 5", I actually use these as leg warmers rather than knees warmers. They work perfectly and are easy to get on and off.

Works as intended
Nice knee warmers. They stay in place and are warm. Also the a slightly longer than a few other brands but I like the extra lenth.

Way too long but solid
They are solid but way too long, they feel almost as leg warmers, which I already had…

Diference between thermal, merino and pro team knee warmers? Temperature range, conditions, etc.
The thermal knee warmers are designed to provide warmth in cooler temperatures, usually between 10 to 15 degrees Celsius, making them ideal for chilly mornings or autumn rides. On the other hand, the merino knee warmers are made from high-quality merino wool, which offers excellent temperature regulation and moisture-wicking properties, making them suitable for a wider range of conditions. As for the pro team knee warmers, they are specifically designed for performance and aerodynamics, making them ideal for competitive riding or high-intensity training sessions.
