Craft Arm Warmer 3D, £25

Info: craft.se
Sizes: XS-XXL

Unlike many standard arm warmers, this pair from Craft features a variety of different fabrics placed in different positions, thereby moulding to your arm and regulating your temperature more effectively.

They are thicker at the back and around the elbow than around the front, which helps keep your arms warm but not clammy, and you don't overheat in them; a common problem among arm warmers.

There were the usual silicon grippers around the upper arm, but our tester found the arm warmers to be quite long - whether you choose small or XL, they're the same length - which may mean you'll need to roll them up. There is no extra-reflective piping and they are not waterproof or windproof, but they dry quickly and are warm.
