Inexpensive but highly effective: Planet X Merino Arm Warmers

Has anyone else noticed that, although it’s nearly October, there’s still rather a dearth of (nice) long sleeved cycling jerseys out there? Fear not. As Autumn swoops in and you’re feeling the chill in the mornings, you could do a lot worse than order a pair of these Merino Arm Warmers from Planet X. They’re an absolute steal at only £3.99 in the sale (and at full price, they’re still considerably cheaper than most).

I’m 5 ft 7″ and size 12. I ordered them in size Small/Medium and they fit perfectly. The wool is soft and not itchy (and I have quite sensitive skin). They don’t slide down, at all, despite having no silicone strips. Quite how they stay in place so well beats me. Some kind of magic. Full marks.
