Craft 3D Knee Warmer

Let’s be honest, most knee warmers aren’t very interesting. There's Lycra or Roubaix tubes and… well, that’s about it. These knee warmers from Craft are different in that they’re ribbed so they’re super-stretchy and the thickness is varied between the different areas to give you extra insulation where you most need it – in the exposed section down the front.

Made from a synthetic mix, these are very, very soft and are about as warm as Roubaix – we know because we went out with a Rapha knee warmer on one leg and a Craft one on the other leg to compare them. It’s a great look – you should try it. Anyway, there really wasn’t a great deal to choose between them in terms of temperature although the ribbed weave means the Crafts mould to your leg even more closely than normal as you pedal and, with a little less fabric round the back, they ruck slightly less when you bend your knee. There’s only one seam and that’s flat-stitched so you can’t feel it, and the silicon gripper holds them in place perfectly well without irritating.

In terms of looks, they take some getting used to, but you can’t fault their comfort. A decent price too.

Verdict

Warm and incredibly comfortable at a reasonable price
