arm warmers

Knitted limb covers

Arm warmers are knitted or fabric tubes worn on the forearms, covering wrist to elbow while leaving the hands free.

They provide warmth without restricting finger movement, popular with cyclists, dancers, and as fashion accessories: She pulled on her arm warmers before heading to yoga class.

Unlike gloves, they have no finger coverings.
