I'm looking for leg and also knee warmers for those early spring conditions where it's below 10-12 degrees outside (sometimes it drops below 5 degrees in mountains) with cold wind or occasional rain in the mix.
What are you favorite brands, models ?
Thanks :beerchug:

Thanks Robbosmans.
I'll take your belgian experience for granted ;).
What does the sizing look like ? I use XL bibs in Sportful and Castelli but Large in LG, Sugoi, Jackroo. Measured thigh would suggest size medium for GripGrab.
Aquarepel warmers a needed accessory (too warm if riding dry weather) or classic will do the trick for most rides/events ?

Classic is the best allrounder, their sizing seems good. I weigh 60 and use the small

I really enjoy Castelli Nanoflex 3G for this type of weather.
Wilier Cento10AIR - SRAM Force AXS - Road/race
3T Exploro - SRAM Rival AXS XPLR - Gravel
Wilier Sestiere - Shimano Tiagra - Commuter

Yeah, everywhere I read the Nanoflex 3G seem to be the reference. I wonder side by side how different they are from GripGrap. They look pretty similar, aside from the panels shape.

How about size ? I need to size up when going Castelli (XL instead of L at 5'10'' 160-162 lbs). How about you ?
