Product Description
It's tough to make an armwarmer warmer. If we know we'll be riding in conditions in which a pair of armwarmers won't keep us sufficiently warm, we tend to choose a thermal jacket. But what if the day could be intermittently cold and wet? The Castelli Nanoflex Armwarmers are designed for days that could bring you everything from cold and wet to enough sun to peel them down. Nanoflex is a proprietary Castelli fabric. The mill begins with Castelli's super-warm and ultra-stretchy Thermoflex fabric, used in many of their winter garments, and then coats the outside with ultra-tiny nanofilaments of silicone fiber. These fibers create a near waterproof barrier to moisture, and raindrops run off the fabric without soaking through. Despite its water-resistant finish, Nanoflex fabric remains highly breathable, keeping you comfortable in almost any conditions.Silicone arm grippers keep the Nanoflex Armwarmers in place even on the hardest rides, and reflective logos are printed at the elbow and lower arm to increase your visibility in poor light conditions.The Castelli Nanoflex Armwarmers come in Black and in four sizes from Small through X-Large.Product Features
- Material: nanoflex

Works well
By Ken S. Sato
Used today in the rain. Works very well, does get sweaty inside if going hard but does let sweat out better than full Gore Tex and is fairly water resistant. The fit is good with in the large size (when worn they are about 50 cm long) for my long skinny arms (my biceps area is about 30 cm in circumference) and the silicone grippers on the inside and out near the top keep these up better than most. Was going to give 4 stars since they are pricey (don't believe in the marketing slogan "you get what you pay for") but overall impressed enough to go for 5 stars.

Nanoflex arm warmers are ready for wet, messy days
By C. Quinn
An outstanding addition to my cycling wardrobe! The Nanoflex material really is water repellant! I raced in a messy, drizzly cyclocross race with these and a pair of Nanoflex knee warmers, and I was amazed at how I'd forgotten about the conditions until the finish line. If there is a "trial by fire" for cycling wear, cyclocross racing in the rain or mud is pretty much it. I peeled them off and shook them out minutes after finishing, and they looked ready for another half hour in the same conditions. They wash up well with the rest of your cycling gear (machine wash cold, gentle cycle and NEVER throw them in the dryer), and don't feel like you're pulling on neoprene sleeves. The soft backing of the material against your skin is really comfortable. My only complaint is that the stitching needs to be flatlock-style, rather than standard. The protruding seam might be noticeable for a few against the skin. Also, making it in three colors is nice, but one of the choices is white. Wearing white *anything* in cycling is usually a bad idea, especially in nasty sloppy conditions. White armwarmers and leg-or kneewarmers would look worse than white cork handlebar tape on an afternoon of being caught in the rain. Would the price have been cheaper if the choices were only red or black? I couldn't say, but I would've had blue as an alternative color, if three colors had to be produced. One other observation: The "Nanoflex" lettering in the Amazon photo is around the elbow, but is parallel to the "Castelli" lettering at the forearm on the pair I have.I've recommended these to anyone who asked, and will continue to do so. Anyone who gripes about something minor on a Castelli accessory and claims they refuse to buy another Castelli product is turning their back on these really great warmers. Yes, I already have the Nanoflex knee- and legwarmers, and they go great with the Castelli Claudio Nanoflex bib shorts on even more miserable days than just 30 minutes in the mud. Keep up the good work, Castelli!

By Aaron Bishop
I read alot of reviews before ordering the Castelli Nanoflex and I'm very pleased with the quality from Castelli. I'm about 21" from wrist to top of shoulder and the Large gave me a good fit just a little long. Not sure if the medium would have been any better concerning the length but I just pull them up under the sleeve of my jersey and you do not even notice it.
