Leg warmers for the (very) long of leg
Hi all. Been trying to find some leg warmers that will fit my ludicrously long legs. I've tried various brands (Castelli Nanoflex, Santini whatever they're called, etc), but none are even close to being long enough.
Does anyone have any suggestions for leg warmers that size up very, very long? Some degree of wind/rain protection would be a bonus, but not essential.
Thanks!

Well, turns out I managed to find some after all. Went into Sigma in Kingston and tried a few different ones - the Sportful No Rain fit perfectly. Just in case any other lanky folk stumble across this thread looking for some legwarmers...
That's good to hear. My even taller brother has a fair amount of sportful stuff in his wardrobe right enough
I tried an XL - at least two inches too short.
I'm a leggy 6'5. (For reference, my main bike is a 65 frame...)
hmmm. I think long socks will be your best bet
Looking at Wiggle, it seems the DHB, Sportful and Assos ones are pretty long, so I may give those a try, but you may be right...
Castelli nanoflex XL size do me OK and I'm pretty long of leg- what size did you try? How tall are you?
