Ooh, interesting. Anyone got any idea how to interpret the sizing? Not sure what 0, 1 or 2 mean in size terms.

Edit, scrap the above, I think I've worked it out. Now, how long are my arms?

Only 0 or 2 in stock in black, I don't want baggy, but doubt 0s will be long enough. Any insight...?

Weird, I see all three for "Titan", but only two for black.

Gone for size 2, I figure Assos isn't designed for fatties and I can always fold them over at the top, can't be doing with a gap betwixt jersey and warmer!

I think others possibly aren't going to the "black" version of the page

Only by a couple of quid! I've got the matching leg warmers and they're excellent.

Looks like mine have been posted 🙂 I can't tell right from left (dyscalculia) so asked for one black and one Titan.... 😉

I don't know if it helps but I am 6ft and have typically puny cyclist's arms and a size 1 is a nice fit.

Had them for over a year now and they are in as good nick as they were when I got them. I guess that is why Assos costs! It is the only Assos clothing I can afford to own!!

I have them in titan and they go with most colours.

There is an interesting article in cycle sport about Assos this month.

I fear 2s are going to be too baggy, but we'll see!

£13.94 was too much but at £12.55 I couldn't resist.

I have had a pair and used them regularly since 1994 !

Still in good condition (unlike the wearer).

Thanks for the heads up.

I bought some of the grey (sorry, I meant Titan 🙄 ) ones earlier.

Got a despatch e-mail <1 hour later so pretty pleased with that!

Just hope they fit - I went for size 1.

Mine showed up, size 2s are fine, a tiny bit baggy on the forearm, but length is good. I'm happy. Very old stock I think looking at the grippers.

Hmm my size 1 turned up, Despite my skinny arms they're rather snug, I have overhang 🙁

Not sure whether to exchange for 2s, but they may be too baggy.

I definitely have more of a roadie's top half-of-body (compared with a freeride hero MTBer) and the 1s fit me pretty well. I wouldn't want them any more snug though.

Hmmm. My size 1's turned up today.

They are fine apart from the gripper being tight - perhaps too tight. Wouldn't want them any longer though, so not going to send them back. The gripper will probably slacken off a bit after I've worn them a few times.
Feel good quality and expect them to be pretty warm.

Size 1's arrived today and are pretty good. A tad short in the arm but as the owner of a pair of monkey arms this is no surprise, the width is good though, no issues at all.

Mine turned up today. Size 1 for me is pretty much spot on snug but not to snug. Only complaint is I ordered black and got titan (silver) but they'll do.
