L/S jersey's - how useful are they?

Something I bought but always end up wearing a jacket instead is a wind vest. If you need wind protection- your arms need it too. It just doesn't really add much warmth at all.

This is true but in the transition weeks I've started out with the temperature being cool and then with the combination of it getting warmer as the day goes on and me heating up due to the effort a wind vest with arm warmers is ideal. You can pull off the arm warmers and stuff them in your jersey pocket, unzip the vest and you aren't overheating and not having to tie a jacket around your waist. Once it gets cold and stays cold a jacket with layers is the way to go.

Arm warmers and leg warmers IMO are great! If you only have one LS jersey you have to wash it too often and you can only wear the LS part of the year. With arm warmers and leg warmers you don't have to invest in several long sleeve jerseys or tights.

You may not _have to_ invest in several LS jerseys, but when you can get them on spring clearance and drool over them all summer, it sure is fun!!

I tried some arm warmers on the other day and wondered if a strip of your arm can get exposed (and cold) between the jersey and the arm warmer?

If you have cap sleeves on your jersey I guess that would be possible. I haven't run into that problem though. Just be sure to check the length is long enough for you.
