These warmers provide an essential thermal barrier with a water-repellent finish, making them ideal for shoulder-season cycling; however, they are intended for light rain showers rather than sustained heavy downpours.

FAQs
Are these warmers waterproof?
No, they are water-repellent. They will protect against light rain and road spray, but will soak through in heavy or prolonged rain.
How do I choose the right size?
These are available in S/M and L/XL. Measure the circumference of your upper thigh and refer to the size guide to ensure a secure, comfortable fit.
Can I wear these for winter riding?
They are ideal for cool, transition-season weather. For deep winter temperatures, you may require more substantial winter bib tights.
Will the reflective print wear off?
The reflective print is durable, but to maximize its life, wash the warmers inside out and avoid harsh detergents.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, the polyester blend is engineered with enough stretch to accommodate a full range of motion while maintaining its shape.
Troubleshooting
Warmers sliding down while riding
Ensure the silicone grip is against skin rather than over other fabric; if the grip is dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth to restore stickiness.
Water soaking through fabric
The DWR coating may be wearing off; wash the item to remove dirt/oils and consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure longevity, machine wash these warmers on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating from the polyester fabric. It is recommended to hang-dry the warmers; do not tumble dry or iron, as high heat can damage the silicone grips and the integrity of the water-repellent treatment. If the water-repellency fades over time, you may re-apply a DWR spray treatment specifically designed for technical cycling apparel.
