Spring weather is unpredictable, which means layering is important. When headed out for a long run, you can wear a tank but keep your arms covered with arm warmers. No longer just for the legs, or the dancers, arm warmers are a great accessory for runners and cyclists alike. Marathoner Kara Goucher sported a pair while running Boston yesterday.
Arm warmers range from $18 to $40 depending on the material used. You can opt for classic black like Kara, or go for some conspicuous stripes to make you more visible on the road. Check out some options below, from classic black to tattoo sleeves.

They look amazing (even sexy) on Kara but I fear they'd look ridiculous on me!!
1Love this!! My lower arms are always cold... Gotta' try 'em!
2you could also just cut off the feet of knee socks for the same effect. Sounds cheaper
3Or you could wear a shirt. I don't really get the point.
4in my opinion you cannot pull of arm warmers unless you are wearing a singlet . . . so if you aren't Kara you should just stick to a lightweight long sleeve shirt.
5I can pull off a lot of stuff, but not arm warmers.
6Ha.
7I wear cut up knee socks as arm warmers, earlier this spring I wore them frequently with a t-shirt when it was still too cold to go out bare armed. The advantage over long sleeves is that they are easy to roll down or remove if you get too warm, allow some breathing room for your pits.
