Product Information
Full details
The Castelli Espresso Leg Warmers are designed for adult cyclists who require versatile thermal protection for transitional weather, offering a reliable way to extend the usability of bib shorts when temperatures drop unexpectedly. These warmers feature soft, thermal fabric for core heat retention and a streamlined, seam-minimized construction that reduces irritation during long rides; however, potential users should note that they are intended as an accessory for changeable conditions rather than a replacement for full-length winter tights in extreme sub-zero climates.

FAQs
Are these leg warmers waterproof?
No, they are designed for thermal warmth and are not waterproof or windproof.
Can I wear these under my bib shorts?
Yes, for the best grip, it is recommended to pull the grippers up to the thigh and let the bib short hem overlap them.
How do I determine the right size?
Consult the Castelli sizing guide using your thigh and calf measurements for the most accurate fit.
Are these machine washable?
Yes, but use a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid fabric softeners to protect the technical fabric.
Are they effective for extreme cold?
These are ideal for cool to mild conditions. For extreme sub-zero cold, full-length thermal tights are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Warmers sliding down during the ride
Ensure the silicone gripper is in direct contact with skin or the bib short hem and that you have selected the correct size.
Irritation behind the knee
Adjust the positioning so the main fabric panel sits flat against the skin; ensure the warmer is not twisted during application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, pull the leg warmers up so the silicone gripper sits securely against the skin or the underside of the bib short hem. Always match the Castelli sizing chart to your thigh circumference to prevent the grippers from failing. For care, wash in cool water with a mild detergent on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the thermal properties of the fabric and the effectiveness of the silicone grippers. Air dry flat to maintain the shape and elasticity of the garment.
