Knee Warmers that don't slip

[hockeybike]

Looking for knee warmers for the coming fall/winter, and mostly trying to find a pair that doesn't slip.

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.

I've had a set of black Specialized knee warmers for 14 years. Use them often during the colder months, never slipped or moved on me. At the time, black was the only color on offer. Might be the same now, or not, but as far as function goes I've been very pleased.

Came in to post ^^^this. Specialized knee warmers are The Schidt.

I still have my Serotta knee warmers from a Paceline (or Serotta Forum) buy some years ago...They don't slip.

I've had good luck with garneau.

I bought two sets of the DeFeet knee warmers, and promptly sold them. I'm no Lutz Hesslich or Robert Forstermann, but those things were so tight on my legs it was painful. One size fits all indeed. YMMV.

I also bought a set of the Canari bright yellow knee warmers. Same deal.

Endura has been my go-to. They're almost too much insulation for the shoulder seasons, but they get a LOT of use for 6 months of the year in the Pacific NW.

Pearl Izumi have worked well for me. The lycra is starting to break down some but I've had them for years. Still work well.

I really like Hincapie warmers (leg, knee, arm) because they have grippers on both the inside (next to your skin) and outside (so against your bib shorts or jersey arm) at the top. No slippage for me.

Smart. My specialized slip out from under what’s over them. Had Merlin brand before these and they didn’t slip.

I have the same pair of PI knee warmers and they have worked well, provided that I pull them up enough under my shorts.

Rapha merino wool knee warmers don’t slip....

[pdmtong]

the rapha merino warmers do not slip, have a wide temp range, are as warm as their lycra ones (which also do not slip. ever.) but are lighter and pack into a jersey pocket smaller. fantastic product.

Just put them under the bottoms of your shorts. Problem solved.

Agree that either the Merino or the Lycra Rapha options stay where you place them. I’ve got a pair of each with matching arm warmers and don’t think you would be disappointed with either option.
