Pearl IzumiElite Thermal Arm Warmer(Return to Product Page)

Pearl Izumi ELITE Thermal Arm Warmer is just the best thermal warmer. I bought these in combination with PI ELITE knee warmers, leg warmers, gloves, and shoe covers. Yes. The whole purchase was expensive, but it was a great investment. This is the third set I've bought from BTD in ten years. I have tried other products, but there is no other brand and vendor who can provide this value for the money. All these years, I've been using ELITE warmers for temperatures 40-50F as for 30-40F I add a thin (lycra) base layer. That way, my ELITE warmers provide perfect protection to cold and wind. I feel absolute insulation.

I have never worn arm warmers and regularly just ride in summer kit until the temps fall below ~40 degrees F. so I was a bit disappointed that these arm warmers only seemed to make my arms feel colder as they accumulate enough sweat to cause evaporative cooling. If I take them off, my arms actually feel about the same. So I cant say I am any more comfortable with them on on a day when the temps are in the mid 30s to mid 40s. However, under a wind breaker or winter riding coat, they do enhance warmth so they have a net utility (under 30 degrees). as for fitment, I measure for what should be a medium size but i would say that the elastic around the biceps are pretty tight. i would probably get a size larger if I were to buy again

Coming off hot summer want wanting some options for fall, decided to get a pair. i'm about 15" in the upper arm but automatically ordered a large based on measurements I must have taken wrong and some fits I had done in a store last year. Too small. Swapped for X-large. They barely fit and I guess that's the top of the sizing range, so I'd say order a touch bigger than the sizing would indicate. I tried them on other day as temps fell to 68-72 and I was feeling chilly. They helped and were mostly adequate for the slight drop in temps but not much more. They felt chilly in the wind and shade and I don't think I would want to wear them in much cooler weather.

these are good arm warmers... great for those chilly morning commutes in early spring/ fall or as a layer during the winter. on week end rides they are nice and easy to store away in the jerseys pocket as the day warms up. i really do not think i could ride in Oregon with out arm warmers and these are a fair price and a good quality.

Very comfortable fabric. Grippers are excellent - arm warmers don't slide down when riding.

For some reason unclear to me now I thought these were men's sized, but they're unisex, so being a guy that wear's medium men's size I needed to return that pair and get a large unisex size. I have always been happy with Pearl Izumi arm and knee warmers, and these look like they will be great once I get a good fitting pair.

Love these things, they fit great and also keep me warm. Exactly why I bought them

Love these for when it's 45 and below. Fit is perfect for my stems.

keeps you warm and easy transport
