Description
A staple of professional riders for decades, leg warmers extend the year-round versatility of your favourite summer bib shorts. And if the weather warms up mid-ride, you can even take them off to make sure you don’t overheat. Made with a high-stretch fabric with a brushed back inner, our Thermal Leg 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.

Very strange fit! Afraid I'll lose circulation.
I agree with others that think these are both too long and too tight. My size (32" inseam, 22" thigh) fits well within the specs for a Medium, but they are so long that I have to pull them way above the bottom of my shorts so they don't bunch up. But then the elastic at the top is so tight around that thicker part of my thigh that I am afraid to ride with them because it seems like the circulation is being cut off. That makes your thighs look very strange too as the bulge out around the tourniquet like top band.
I wish I had tried these before the return period had run out. I don't think I'll ever use them.

Wonderful simple
I should have purchased a pair of leg warmers a long time ago. These have been fantastic on those cold morning’s in Tasmania. Sizing is spot on as per chart. The leg warmers stay in position, don’t bunch up behind the knee, are comfortable and warm. Highly recommend.

Too long and too tight
While the quality feels good, the length of them (compared to many other brands) comes up too long. Since they seem to be longer than the size M in other brands, you need to pull them higher up the thigh to get them to fit.
The thigh gripper seems unreasonably tight, to the point that it's not very comfortable at all! There's snug to keep it in place and then there's these, which give the feeling that blood flow is being restricted. Pretty disappointed.

Nice fabric but strange sizing
Nice fabric but strange sizing. The elasticated gripper is way too tight. My thighs looks like a couple of sausages. No, I don´t have pro-thighs (max width 47cm) but they should fit in to a pair of leg warmers size small. A size medium is not for me since my inside leg length is 78cm and the size small i a little bit long.

I now know my left from my right
I bought these to replace a previous edition of Rapha’s classic leg thermal warmers. I find these fit a little bit better and keep me slightly warmer than the previous ones. The logo is in white rather than grey. The main difference is that there is now a label in each telling you whether it is for the left or right leg. The only way you could tell the old warmers apart was that the warmer with the logo went on the right leg.

High quality and warm
Unsurprisingly, these are high quality warmers. I'm pretty sure these will last a lot longer than my previous warmers. I went with the small (5'6", 150lbs) and I'm glad I did. They're tight, but with plenty of stretch. First ride was on our first snow of the year - they passed with flying colors.

No "cold feet" about buying these warmers.
A very cold Spring so these warmers have come in very useful and I have needed to use them more than I originally anticipated. They do the job very well and have helped me overcome the very poor circulation I have in my legs. Sizing is in line with the guidelines and they are very comfortable to wear. As other people have reported, I haven't, to date, experienced any problems with seams or chafing.

Great product. Bit expensive.
The best leg warmers I've used. They are warm and fit well. They do not slide down during rides. The design is cool. The only downside is the price, which is a bit high in my opinion.

Hi there, are these legwarmers for colder conditions also windproof?
They will provide a good degree of protection against the wind.

Hi, I have size 57cm 95cm. Would L be tight enough?
I would recommend going for the same size as you wear bib shorts or tights.

Are the grippers used on these new warmers the same as the Classic warmers i.e. a band of lots of white rubber dots?
Yes they use the same gripper design.
