Anyone use arm warmers?

I think that was Veronica, she's annoyingly coordinated too.

Not to mention, now an O-fficial CA Triple Crown winner

Funny, I never use to think I was coordinated.

I have both a bolero and arm warmers. I use the arm warmers if the day is likely to warm up and I'll want to take them off and I'm wearing short sleeves.

Sheesh... my cycling clothes are becoming a fashion statement.

I bet I could make one of those bolero thingies pretty easily..... Which of you Seattle girls has one I can check out?

Thanks for everyone's support and recommendations. I ended up buying the Sugoi Matrix arm warmers and the Terry bolero. The arm warmers are great. They're a little long but they are snug enough not to move. I really needed something just to cut the wind, not necessarily for overall warmth, and the Sugois do the trick.

The bolero? I love the quality and material, but the size S/M is a bit large for me. I don't mind the roominess of the arms because it slips over a SS jersey easily, but even bent over on my bike, the back portion is loose and the sleeves slip over my hands. Perhaps when the Sheila Moon boleros come in (red, maybe?), I'll try those out.

Kudos to TE for the fast shipping and excellent return policy!

Hip i never even heard of them before today; sorry. Maybe they aren't so useful in Seattle where you usually either want to take everything off or cover everything up?

This link is a free pattern download so that you can make 'em! I was surfing around in my pattern making software, and what we who wear bike clothes are calling a "bolero" the rest of the world is calling a "shrug."

I can't speak to the quality of this pattern, but it's worth having a look at!
