More expensive but the Mavic armwarmers are excellent. XS to XL too.

make sure the arm warmers fit right up the top of your arm - if you are wearing a thermal top then put them over the top and under the jersey. They grip better to material than skin. I have a couple and Assos are the best but as long as they have good grippers it doesn't matter.

i've got the gore windstopper armwarmers

[url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Gore_Windstopper_Armwarmer_IV/5360044638/ ]gore windstopper[/url]

which are thin, but have windstopper facing on the front edges. Perfect for me not to hot / cold, and even if its drizzling a bit the windproofing keeps off the cold air.

I had a pair of normal armwarmers before this but much prefer the windstopper ones now.

I've got some Gore arm warmers in a large (I think) and they fit fine, perhaps a touch long.
A mate of mine who's about the same size has got the Spesh ones also in large and they are pretty much the same fit, but a little shorter.

Both of them stay put & are definitely a great idea.

I've got those Endura’ in "Small-Medium", I would say I'm average-ish build 5’10” / 38” chest, I’ve not measured my biceps but they are present and look about normal to me…

The Small-Medium is a comfortable tight fit on me, it stays up and I don’t feel too constricted, they do seem to leave a mark from the seam and the gripper in my arms for a little while after I’ve been wearing them… not tried any others so can’t really compare
