I just bought Netti SuperRoubaix leg warmers with a zip, because mine weren't warm enough, and I'm too lazy to take my shoes off, and they were cheaper...
So, where do I wear the zips? Is it zips to the outside, pretty reflecto stuff on my calves? Or zips to the inside? Or zips to the back, with reflecto stuff on the outside?
They kind-of look shaped, but that might just be where I tried them on... HELP!
I've got exactly the same ones (as you know!) - I've been wearing mine with the zip at the very back, and the reflecto stuff on the outside of the ankle/calf...
Now - seeing as you're asking this, and given that you saw me wearing these yesterday, you MUST be asking because I looked totally dickie in them!!!!! Were they sitting askew or something??
Why didn't you tell me?? I am aesthetically challenged as it is, without mis-worn legwarmers thrown into the mix... *laughing*

Oh no! If they're slimming, no one will see me! :P
Er, no, I just saw someone else wearing them differently is all... I'm sure they're warmer with the zip at the back but all my trackies have zips at the side...

All the circus girls wear those sorts of legwarmers, it's truly horrific.

The problem is not the location of the zip.. it's the leg warmers themselves. KNEE WARMERS are da rigger, I mean de rigueur!

Good one hippy, link to the foreign language page.
Hey, how am I meant to keep my calves warm without full leg-warmers?
If it's too cold for shorts, it's cold enough for full leg warmers.
See, that's what I reckon. I think it's bad enough that the very tops, and my hips, get colder, because I don't want longs, because if I need to take them off (as often happens in Qld) they're a pain to carry (bought my Bento box just so I could use jersey pockets solely for stripped-off items of clothing on long rides).

So Carl, where do the zips go?
Achillies!
And reasoning?
See the warmers looked a bit shaped like that, but I was worried that, given more ankle movement in that plane than any other, there was a risk of discomfort...)
Out on the road, I see about 50% to the back and 50% to the side. Brisbane cyclists clearly have no idea how to do stuff in the cold.

That's how they're cut. I can send you a template if you want, if you have Illustrator.

Picked up some new leg warmers today at Uno. maybe it varies between brands but theirs are supposed to have the zip on the outer side, because they have a seam that is designed to go to the back of the knee.

I've never even noticed them once on.
Thanks Carl, I'm going to have to start paying you soon.
