Do we, LRC, wear arm warmers? What say you? I say, "I'm not sure since I've never worn them..but I am curios." |

No. Wear a long sleeve technical shirt. If it gets too warm, push up the sleeves. I say arm warmers are only acceptable for elite female marathoners. |

technical shirt = "Well it's technically just a shirt, but I paid a lot more money for it than you did" |
| arm warmer for the masses |

And while you are at it only elites can wear racing flats on race day, wear spandex, take GU during a race. I say if they work for you wear them if not then don't, but pushing up the sleeves is a great way to ruin a technical shirt. |

Nothing screams TOOLBAG worse than wearing arm warmers. |

I wore a pair in a half marathon on a slightly chilly morning. I didn't go with the long sleeve since I wanted the option of ditching the warmers if i heated up too much. I think they worked out well - ended up keeping them on the whole time, so i guess a long sleeve would have sufficed (i did want to race in my singlet though). |

Arm warmers on the day of a chilly 10k when you're wearing a singlet is acceptable as far as I'm concerned, because you can pull them off if you get too hot during the race. Rocking arm warmers for a regular run is stupid. |

Insecure? I'm guessing if the Internet had been around when tights first emerged that douches like yourself would have ripped anyone wearing tights. |

I wear arm warmers with a t-shirt all the time for training runs. Shorts, t shirt, gloves, hat, and arm warmers are the perfect combination on cold days (except when it's really cold then I will throw on tights). |

Would it be weird for a guy to wear those Brooks arm warmers for girls with the built in gloves? |

And what do you do after you pull them off? Just toss them on the ground? Aren't they kind of expensive to just lost every race? I would never wear them. As it is, I almost always push the sleeves up on my long sleeve shirts on every run I do. I can't imagine a situation where my forearms are cold but my upper arms aren't. It's just a gimmick product. But if it works for you, go ahead... |

Tights serve a legitimate purpose. Arm warmers do not. |
| It's not that hard |

I don't care. If you want to wear them, wear them. If you don't want to, don't. It doesn't matter either way. |

This. I only race in mine when it's cold as balls and i'm only wearing a singlet and short-shorts. |

I don't see the point of arm warmers with a singlet. If it's cold enough for arm warmers, I want my armpits covered too. The only time I've worn arm warmers was on the bike with a short sleeve jersey. (Long ride on a day that started chilly and got warm.) |

Arm warmers are great. Any person on here bashing them is a misguided moron as far as I'm concerned. |

They don't have to be expensive. Running Warehouse had a deal where you could add some to your order for a few bucks at one point, or you could just cut the toes off an old pair of soccer socks and voila. |

I race in arm panties (that is the correct term) when it's chilly for the following reasons: 1) I have a team singlet that I wear 2) long sleeve shirts don't feel as fast as a singlet 3) sometimes my armpits chafe with long sleeve shirts 4) they make me feel fast 5) they piss off a lot of people |

I wear them pretty much every day. Possibly the best purchase I've ever made. Seriously, 10 bucks. Every MF person should own a pair. |
