Ok, so I'm a wimp when it comes to temperature and typically I'm a fair weather rider, I don't like to ride when it's below 60 degrees outside. But living in New England, that rules out riding during about 8 months out of the year. So I bought some cool weather riding gear last fall (didn't get a chance to wear it...don't ask).
So I just went out for my first ride of the season, it's 52 degrees outside so I wore my leg warmers. And my leg warmers kept falling down!! I wore them tucked underneath my biking shorts and still I kept having to pull them up and tuck them back in every few minutes.
I'm hoping I won't be needing them much any longer, but being New England, you never know. Any thoughts or suggestions?

It sounds like they're probably too big for you! Bummer about that, but here's to hoping that the weather starts to warm up for you soon!

Try wearing them upside down. I assume they taper down your leg??

See that's the thing...I bought the smalls and I have rather large thighs. So I was really shocked when they kept slipping. Gotta love American sizing.

I gather that they are not women's, just a general small??

How long are your bike shorts? Mine stay tucked in reasonably well with my long bike shorts and knickers, but they fall down if I wear them with shorter bike shorts.
