    Question light weight leg warmer picks?

    This is not my thread, but just seeing if anyone chimes in here...

    What is a brand/specific style of leg warmer that has just a lycra fabric weight... without the warmer fuzzy fleece lining?

    Read: similiar to fabric of SheeBeest "driStyle" arm warmers. Like these here on TE...

    I am not beefy in the arms or legs. Plus, I like my stuff to fit tight and with grippers. Non-tight stuff to me just equals painful chaffing from any slippage on my sensitive skin. The SheeBeest fit in a small for arm warmers is perfect for me. I've tried: Terry, Sugoi, and Shelia Moon... but the upper arm is too big. SB fits like a glove... and longer for skinny monkey girl arms here.

    I recently got some Louis Garneau leg warmers that the fit seems not bad on (size small). Have yet to test ride. But, they are fleece inside. They are these (the zipper design is brilliant!)...

    I just decided to keep them anyways, but the fleece part is more than I wanted for fabric. Just extra lycra covering to take out an early morning summer nip is what I'm after. I actually like the chill... provided you have on the right gear to ride in.

    To OP... I personally don't worry about the whole sauage leg issue. As long as it is not causing you physical pain etc. See above comment re: non-tight = chaffing... end result--ouch! Being able to strip off your layers on a longer ride with temp changes is a total comfort blessing imho, fwiw.
