I live in Canada. Sometimes it’s too cold for shorts but too warm for tights. Also, the temperature can change considerably during a ride, and knee warmes are easy to store in jersey pockets.

Unlike your shins and calves your knees spend at least half the time pointing into the wind, so keeping them warm isn’t such a dumb idea.

Love my knee warmers. Not sure why yours aren’t staying up, but mine stay up fine. As far as the rubber gripper elastic cutting off circulation, there’s rubber gripper elastic at the bottom of your shorts/bibs too, so what’s the difference?

And yes, my knees get cold when my shins don’t. So a knee warmer makes sense for me. And when I warm up, I take them off at a red light or stop sign in less then a minute and stick them in my seat bag.
It’s not the big bumbling 10 minute ordeal that you make it out to be, lol!

I really don’t like knee warmers either. I am a tall thin woman, but even so, I like all women, have extra fat on my thighs. The top elastic of the knee warmers cause a bulge that is not attractive. I either have thin thighs clad in my black short, a bulge of skin fat, and then the sagging knee warmers start. Or… I have two unsightly bulges that come from tucking the knee warmers up into the hem of the shorts. As a woman, you are doubly cursed.

I really like my knee warmers. It is one of the best inventions that keep me warm during cold winters. They are comfortable and serve their purpose as intended. I have no complains about knee warmers.

FC – thank goodness you have the courage to address the conspiracy of silence surrounding these diabolical garments! I, quite frankly, have been too cowardly to raise these questions in a public forum. (yeah, ok, I’m a bit behind in my reading; been too busy riding)

wow that guy really hates knee warmers i think i should start a web page similar to this cause i really hate soccer players there all big girls who wear shin pads. and the worst part is that it is part of there game to take dives. Like its not just the few low people who try to exploit the ref’s lack of concentration its actually part of there game disgraceful people should be playing rugby union that’s a mans game also cycling is pretty good. by the way i like how you say what you think and don’t really care what others say even if your totally wrong about knee warmers
