    Arm warmers are the coolest things ever invented! I have the regular ones that pull up and also a bolero to wear with my sleeveless jerseys. They are especially great during changing weather 'cause you can pull them up and push them down and pull them up again when needed (like going up hill I hit hot but coming downhill I get cold). I use them not only for cycling but for hiking as well. Have different colors (black, red, blue, grey, purple) to match different jerseys. Defnitely invest in some. Favorites are by Terry and PI.

    I'll second the thumbs up for Terry armwarmers. I am petite and they fit me great - not too long (but not too short, either). They are great for those rides that start out a little chilly but warm up fast.

    I prefer a bolero, but I don't like things snug on my arms.

    A Bolero is about a thousand times better than arm warmers! And simple to remove- pull it off over your head! I won't ever wear arm warmers again- the Bolero is so much better.

    Oh Nanci, you're much more coordinated than I, I can't do that on the fly, I need to stop to pull off my bolero. Still, that's a small concession.

    Someone on here taught me how- pull it off over your head with one hand! Before I read that, it was a cluster getting it off...

    I wear it over tanks, sleeveless jerseys, short sleeve jerseys, long sleeve jerseys...
