Pearl Izumi Thermal Lite Arm Warmers

First, Pearl Izumi products are great. These however are not. Excellent material and workmanship but fail in several areas. First is that they are way too tight. I'm 5'11" medium build don't have big biceps or fore arms and these in a large size fit like a compression shirt. Putting them on while inside made my arms cold at 68F - a function of the compression I think. It didn't get any better in use. Outside at 38F and I might as well have not been wearing them. These might fit if you are really challenged in upper body strength but I don't see how they would work at keeping your arms warm unless you were lifting weights at 70F.BTW I am going to try out the P-I Thermals

Satisfied with this purchase, a definite must-have gear for those early morning chilly rides (40s to 50s). Can be easily peeled off as you get warm and stash it in your cycling jersey pocket. Good value for the price.
