Had a pair form Merlin (their brand)that were great even with a dog bite hole they always stayed in place.

Somehow I lost one in my laundry. For good.

Defeet seems to have some love around here, as does rapha.

Any others?

Also, any in colors other than black? Sure, there's road grime, but some visibility wouldn't be a bad thing.

Since someone above gave a thumbs up to Pearl Izumi … I have a pair of white ones, size M, not pristine but eminently functional.

Yours for the cost of shipping, first come first served.

My second plug for snek in one day! Super warm, comfy, grippy, best I've ever had. They fit and stay over my spaghetti legs when most slip.

Ha....that's about the third time I've heard SNEK mentioned in the last two weeks. I love it when you never hear something then hear it everywhere

I have a predecessor to these knee warmers from Q36.5: https://www.q36-5.com/shop/men/cycli...e-knee-warmer/

They've been my go-to on cold mornings for the past 5 years. They stay up, keep me warm, but they're light enough that you can put them in a pocket when it warms up. I'd recommend them.

I’ve got some Ornot leg warmers that work really well. They’ve never slipped.

I know, you asked about knee warmers but I think your calves could use some warmth too.

I find my Kucharik wool leg warmers don’t slip. I’ve had them for years and they are still the best fitting leg warmers I have. Need to get another pair!

Good Luck!
