leg/ arm warmers vs Compression clothing

Just in case you were wondering I just want to know if compression clothing would work as leg warmers. It seems for the money one could get two benifits for the price of one.

Thanks Again,
Eric

Most compression stuff wouldn't be a good choice to substitute for leg/arm warmers....fabric is very different.

2XU's calf guards are similar to light weight leg/armer material but wouldn't cover your knees or thighs.

Most arm/leg warmers comes in two weights one is lightweight lycra type fabric and other is brushed on back side that is significantly warmer.

CWX clothing has compression in it and comes in various weights for different temperatures but I don't think they make leg/arm warmer. They have great running shorts and tights.

I use compression tights for running (and skiing) in the winter and they work well for that but I agree that they wouldn't be a good sub on the bike.  The key with arm/leg warmers to me is the adjustment possibilities whereas with the compression tights once they're on, they're on. 

Can't really answer your question in regards to wearing compression gear in place of arm/leg warmers...BUT, I can say that I LOVE my Craft Flex arm warmers and plan on buying their knee warmers in the very near future.   For what's it worth, my Craft arm warmers fit fairly snugly, so I do feel some compression-like qualities in them.
