Assos Armwarmers

I also like the new Assos armwarmers and have a pair of the large white. They are contoured to your arms and have a bend in the elbow. Like most armwarmers I find them too short and I had to tighten them at shoulder. But, they look good and are an excellent layer of insulation whilst retaining great manoeuvrability.
