    My DeFeets fall down. My very old PIs are too short. My Hincapie's are just right.

    Wee, wee, wee, all the way home.

    Anyway - mine are PIs hmmmm...I have not a clue if they're fleecelined or not. My leg warmers are. It's been too cold for me to wear them!! I only use them when the temps are too chilly for sleeveless/ss (read the low is 75!!) but the high is gonna be in the 90 - 100!!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    My Terry's in basic black fit me great (I'm petite). No complaints. They don't fall down. I also have a cool pair by Lin in yellow and red with cats on them that say "Scat" on them. Got them on eBay. They don't go with many of my jerseys, but I do love them! They were a size small and also fit great.

    Corsair! I promise, I was only thinking about the children's fairy tale!

    By the way, Surly, I also have a bolero which I really like with sleeveless jerseys. I do find that fleece-lined lycra (like the PIs and Hincapie) are a bit more wind-resistant than DeFeets. The Defeets are extremely soft and comfy and I would like them except they just insist on falling down, and I don't have skinny arms (probably just defective ones).

    I have a bolero too - I got mine from Terry Bicycles, but it appears that they are no longer carrying them. They have a couple of sizes still available on their sale page. I looked for them elsewhere on the web, but I wasn't able to find a link for the manufacturer (Zoelle).

    I also have the purple Sheila Moon arm warmers from TE (for those rare occasions when I wear a short-sleeved rather than a sleeveless jersey) - couldn't pass on the color, and the arm warmers work fine for me.
