I wear these for recreational riding, commuting, practicing and racing. They are great. They keep my arms arm without added bulk and I haven't had any issues with them sliding down. Plus it's easy enough to pull them off and stash in a jersey pocket if you get too hot. So far they have been holding up well and hopefully they continue to do so for a long, long time. I'm 5'9" with a compact athletic build and the mediums fit me well. They might be just a slight bit long as they go from my wrists all the way up onto the shoulder but I'd rather have them be a little long than too short as it helps keep them in place. Otherwise they fit snug without being too tight. Bottom line is they are comfortable and work really well for their intended purpose.

SIZING:I called the company up directly and even they couldn't tell me the dimensions of the sizes. They just told me, "Get whatever matches your jersey size." I sometimes wear small and other times wear medium depending on the brand so that didn't really help. They had nothing else to say. Although they were nice on the phone, I'm disappointed a company doesn't know the dimensions of their product. It's like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. If I wanted the arm warmers to fit like the photo, I should have gotten size medium. Small's not quite cutting my circulation and it's still long enough but I can't help but to wonder how medium would feel. Small's easier to keep stored, so no regrets.
QUALITY:
The seams are flawless. They are built strong. I don't see these failing at the seams ever. The material is thick enough to make you feel like you received a quality product. It doesn't look nor feel cheap. The inside of the upper arm band has a rubber material to keep it in place as it touches your skin. The product doesn't just rely on elastic to keep it up which is nice.
DESIGN:
This is the biggest reason I paid $30 for this. There are plenty of arm warmers out there for half the price even here on Amazon. I chose this b/c I liked the two tone and that it didn't have the brand named plastered all over the side. Instead, they make a clean look by printing grey letters on the upper black band. It's integrated nicely unlike the other ones I've seen that have the name written directly on the arm making it too obvious. That design also seems like an afterthought whereas this one appears a lot more well thought out.
CONCLUSION:
No regrets on the purchase. I recommend it if you care about looks and happen to like this design. If you want something more economical, just go with the standard $15 shipped ones. There are a lot of companies that make all black ones. I figured my alternative would be something I like from a brick and mortar store since I'm so picky about design. Those would have cost $20 or $25 plus tax which wouldn't be far off from the $30 I paid for this pair. I feel it was worth it.
