Leg warmers?

[Gray Gato]

Hi everyone!
Just received my leg warmers from TE (trying to get a jump on purchasing cooler weather gear).
How are you supposed to wear those things? They looked funny over my bike shorts legs, but when I put them under the legs I had lots of wads, etc.

I don't want to show up for a group ride looking like a complete dork so I thought I'd ask the experts!
Thanks.

I stick mine under the edge of the shorts, like in my avatar.

I stick mine under my shorts as well, or I'm afraid I'll end up with ankle warmers! :eek: :o

i wear mine under my shorts.... but they overlap more than just a little bit....

They have to go under your shorts if not, trust me on this, they will roll down. Put them on first and then your shorts. Yes you will have a weird bump lines under your shorts but oh well.

i do the same, i wear mine under my shorts. the are long enough that they go the full lenght of my leg (i'm vertically challenged). i find having them up that high also helps keep my legs warmer in the chilly weather. and i can wear them longer before putting on the heavy tights to keep me warm.

Under your shorts and pull them up so they don't come out from under your shorts as you ride. Yeah - I know, there's a crease there where the top of the leg warmer lies under your shorts, but I'm guessing if you're off the bike, that crease ain't the only thing anyone is looking at! :rolleyes:

yep, sausage look. mine go all the way down so I need to pull them up as far as I can...:(

Hmmm...... I don't have leggies, I have knee warmers (cause Queensland has a much warmer climate year round) And I wear them comfortable OVER my shorts. I find when under the shorts the shorts slipped exposing my thighs to the cold breezes...

But they're all black so I can't tell the difference.

Arm warmers I also wear over because they slip too much otherwise.

appreciate all the responses (and the question). As this my first year, riding into the cooler temps means figuring out more new gear. I rode in shorts in the spring but the fall air once it comes, has a bite to it around here.

When I saw this post I thought that those hideous things from the '80s were coming back:eek: . Fortunately, you are talking about something else:rolleyes:

Actually.... leggings are back. :eek:

Can legwarmers be far behind?!?

~Emily, who is a little too old for leggings this time around (thankfully!)
