With years of technical fabric development and countless design awards across many sports, X-Bionic are at the forefront of technical cycling apparel. You may or may not have heard of them, though if you have it is probably through their famous X-Socks.

The Swiss company are focused on producing apparel that gives a real and quantifiable performance advantage and this is evident from the moment you pick up a product. For starters the box of each item has more technical information on it than most websites and once liberated from the packaging the distinctive feel and look of each piece screams R&D, from the humble sock through to jackets designed in conjunction with Lamborghini.

Much of X-Bionic's focus is to do with minimising the body's wasted energy. As much as 97% of our energy expenditure is directly involved in Thermo-regulation (the regulation and maintenance of our biologically optimal operating temperature) and as such, any help we can give ourselves in avoiding excess heat loss or gain will quite obviously lead to big advantages when it comes to exercise: even a 1% energy saving will increase our potential by 25%.

It is to this end that X-Bionic have gone about developing complex, knitted fabrics that assist the body in reaching and maintaining the optimal temperature and they combine this with differing levels of compression to help stabilise muscles to avoid oscilations that lead to early fatigue and increased recovery times. Their Arm warmers are no exception.

A freezing headwind can quickly chill your arms. The X-Bionic XQ-2 Energy Accumulator Arm Warmers protect your muscles from the cold to help avoid injuries. The high-tech knit technology warms exactly where you need it since the arms lose warmth in specific areas. When the elbow bends, a system of chambers and ducts opens out like an accordion to maintain insulation. The knitted fabric of the ExpansionRib folds apart based on the accordion principle, insuring that cold air doesn‘t cool down the elbows. Even when sharply bent, the insulating effect is maintained through warm air stored closer to the skin. The flexibility of the ExpansionRibs and the elasticity of the yarn allow a frictionless freedom of movement. When your body is working harder, various knitted structures distribute sweat over a large surface across the arm and a thin film of perspiration evaporates and therefore cools whilst excess sweat is immediately dispersed outwards.

Away from the joint and surrounding the muscles of the upper and lower arm, graduated compression lends improved performance through reduced muscle oscillations, muscle and joint support and optimised nutrient supply.

In addition to all these features, the seamless construction and knitted fabric yield an impressively comfortable, low bulk arm warmer that never irritates and that all but disappears when on; a self adjusting cuff means that the warmer stays put. Despite the warmer's 'Light' designation, you are unlikely to need anything heavier weight than this in a British Winter, if it's too cold for these then it's jacket weather anyway!

These arm warmers (like all the X-Bionic clothing) are only evident at the end of your ride when taking them off, when you realise that your temperature has barely fluctuated throughout the course of your training or racing, despite what the ambient temperature may have been doing.
