Women’s Cycling Warmers & Protection
Modular comfort for real-world rides. Our women’s cycling warmers and protection add coverage when temps swing, sun bites, or trails get rowdy—UPF sun sleeves for peak heat, thermal arm/leg/knee warmers for cold starts, and pedal-friendly guards for rough miles. No extra. All essential.
Sun & Thermal — Layer What You Need
Sun sleeves (UPF): lightweight coverage that cools as you sweat—swap sunscreen re-apps for sleeves. See Cycling Sun Sleeves & Warmers and our broader Sun Protection lineup.
Arm / knee / leg warmers: soft thermal fleece for shoulder season; stash in a pocket when it warms—browse Cycling Warmers.
Trail-Ready Protection
When the line gets rough, add low-bulk knee & elbow guards that breathe on climbs and stay put in chatter.
Temperature & Conditions Guide
75°F+ (24°C+): UPF sun sleeves for burn-free miles; go fingerless gloves.
55–75°F (13–24°C): arm/knee warmers + vest for dawn starts and long descents.
40–55°F (4–13°C): thermal arm + leg warmers; add a wind shell from Women’s Jackets & Vests.
Rain & spray: pair warmers with Women’s Wet Weather shells and shoe covers to seal the system.
Fit & Sizing — Dial It In
Warmers should run snug with silicone grippers flat against skin—no gaps, no pinch. Guards sit secure without cutting circulation and clear your kit in the ride position. If you’re between sizes, check our Size & Fit Guide (includes warmer & protection sizing).
FAQ
Sun sleeves or sunscreen?
For long days, sleeves deliver consistent UPF coverage and cooling without reapplication—great on high-altitude or desert rides.
Arm vs. knee vs. leg warmers—how do I choose?
Arm for cool starts, knee for minimal bulk with joint warmth, leg for full-length coverage when temps drop.
Do guards work with tights or pants?
Yes—most slip-on guards play well under or over slim layers. Make sure cuffs and hems don’t snag the pad.
Care tips?
Wash cold, skip fabric softener, air-dry. Reapply DWR to water-resistant warmers as needed; inspect guard straps and foam periodically.
Finish the System
