Anyone able to recommend some arm warmers that aren't necessarily thermal?

More often than not I'm looking for something to take the chill off from the wind rather than thermally insulate my arms to the point blood boils as it passes through them :p

I have these and can't fault them: DHB Regulate light arm-warmers. Similar fabric to a summer jersey, enough to keep the wind off your arms without any overheating. I also regularly wear them in rain under a jacket - as they aid to stop moisture buildup due to condensation from cool jacket sleeves on warm arms.

My other arm warmers are Sportful NoRain. Probably exactly the same as Nanoflex. Knee warmers I have are DHB regulate light, Sportful NoRain and Castelli Nanoflex. Thickness of the Nanoflex & NoRain is exactly the same and fabrics very similar. Consider them 'roubaix' style fabrics and the Regulate light are like a summer jersey fabric.

Plus it's clearly not even Roady's bike - saddle bag is 10 sizes too small.

That's the biggest I've ever owned!? I'm actually running smaller now... Only have space for 1 tube, levers, multitool, pliers, latex gloves & a few bits. Frame mounted combo pump with 1x co2. :eek:

No. Crank arm not in line with seat tube nor is the smallest cassette ring selected. Least the chain is on the big ring, amateur! :p

Hmm. The background isn't the best of choices - can't really pick out the bike :p

Cheers, appreciated :)
 
My Aldi didn't really have much of interest. Was semi tempted by a merino base layer for the winter but the one I've got will just about hold together for one more year I reckon.
 
Managed to pick up a Garmin 810 from Aldi this morning. Was thinking of getting the Edge Touring until I saw this was on offer as really wanted something for helping with Navigation and the 810 offers a few performance settings at least so thought why not for the cost.
 
Curse the lot of you, I just bought a set of the clone Nebula front and rear lights to go along with my real ones!

My problem is that I now have five micro USB devices for the bike which will need charging (four lights and the Garmin) and only one micro USB charger. Oops.

Can use your PC...I do occasionally for mine.
 
I'm not sure the 100 Lumen Aldi lights are anywhere near that brightness. I had my Moon Comet on 50% flash (15 lumens) and the Aldi one on 30% steady (30 lumens) and the Moon was much brighter. Not that it matters as it is plenty bright enough.

Enjoying some night riding at the moment. I take the hybrid as I invariably end up thwacking a pot hole or two and I'm not exactly aiming to set a PR on pitch black country lanes. I'm sure as soon as the temperature drops I'll be saying how much I hate riding at night ;)
