Read a few reviews but general finding is they're good but they have no leg grippers so move around? Any experiences as in the market for some and may go for Rapha instead.

i've got a pair of castelli ones (dont know the model name though) which have gripper on both sides of the fabric, one for the leg and one for the shorts...that is pretty effective at stopping slipping

You'd really pay [i]£45[/i] for a pair of [i]knee warmers[/i]??? Insanity.

I've had a pair of Lusso ones for over 12 years. Cost about a tenner.

Borrowed a friend's Assos knee warmers for a sportive last year - not very good IMO as kept slipping down. Bought some Gore ones which are a lot better, but the Castelli ones sound like the biz.

But they're the same! Roubaix, grippers top & bottom.. 😕 Surely brand logos aren't that much of a selling point?

Craft 3D leg warmers here. Don't slip about at all and very comfy if not a tiny bit too big. Not sure if they do knee warmers though.

I bought some Endura FS260 knee warmers at the start of winter after reading nothing but good reviews. They have been fantastic. They have the silicone gripper strip at the top which I wear under the leg of my shorts and they dont move. They have a slightly microfleasy lining, and are windproof, but are still light and thin, breath well and give my iffy knee more support than you'd think they would. I really am impressed for £20.

I've got the craft 3D knee warmers which are excellent. Assos only have one size also........which don't work unless you've got big pro cyclist legs......... or are a fatty :mrgreen:
