FAQs
What is the primary material used in these leg warmers?
The leg warmers are constructed from Castelli's Thermoflex fleece fabric, known for its warmth, stretch, and soft interior.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Castelli sizing chart for leg warmers. Measure your leg circumference at the indicated points and choose the size that provides a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight.
Can these be worn in very cold weather?
These leg warmers are best suited for cool to mild conditions. For extreme cold, heavier insulation or full-length tights may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the silicone grippers?
Wash the leg warmers by hand or machine in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener, as it can damage the silicone. Ensure the grippers are clean for optimal grip.
Are these suitable for both men and women?
Yes, the Castelli Thermoflex 2 Leg Warmers are designed with a unisex fit.
What is the weight of the leg warmers?
The leg warmers weigh approximately 114 grams, making them lightweight and unobtrusive.
Can I wear these with compression shorts?
Yes, they can be worn over standard cycling shorts or compression shorts. Ensure the fit is not overly restrictive when layering.
Troubleshooting
Leg warmers sliding down during ride
Ensure the silicone grippers are clean and free of lotions or sweat. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the elastic has worn out over time.
Discomfort from seams
Verify that the leg warmers are worn with the seams positioned smoothly against the leg. The flat-lock seams are designed for comfort, but individual fit can vary.
Reduced warmth after washing
Check that fabric softener was not used during washing, as it can impair the insulating properties of the fleece. Wash according to care instructions.
