Jobst 'It Stays' Roll-On Body Adhesive

I was searching online for leg warmers that won't slip and saw this Jobst 'It Stays' Roll-On Body Adhesive. I wonder if anyone has tried it. If it works then I can keep my existing leg warmers.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...FRF7624F&psc=1

Thanks,
jalal

Hardly seems like something Jobst Brandt would have endorsed. I can almost imagine a rec.bicycles.tech rant explaining why it won't work.

I use a couple of strips of clear (well kinda clear) medical tape. Works a treat.

I just use thin rubber bands that are loose enough that they do not leave circular imprints, at least minimal, on the skin, but are just tight enough to hold.

I can't see or hear that name without first thinking of this person. The guy was an outstanding figure even before the Internet.

I'd be interested in the link. In my experience though editing an existing message won't notify subscribers to the thread of the update. For that I think you need a fresh reply.

Whoa that road is amazing. Looks like fun descending except for maybe the hand cramps from braking

Cycling's most iconic climb perhaps. I've done it in a car but not on a bike yet.

Ray keeps the memories alive and has access to a lot of info and materials from back in the day. He continues to ride and report on the roads and less than roads that we used to ride.

Thanks,

You could just use "dress tape" to keep them in place?

It's the stuff that keeps the slinky dresses in place at the Academy Awards and the Met Gala......

These winter threads never cease to amuse. Also happy to see the tubular threads are on the uptick as well.

Ok. I'll bite.

How about just putting the leg warmers UNDER your bibs. Else, maybe splurge for a smaller size?
