    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!

    That’s good to hear.  My even taller brother has a fair amount of sportful stuff in his wardrobe right enough

    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…
