Technical Details and Features

The Primapelle arm warmers feature a raw-cut construction without additional binding tape, resulting in fewer pressure points and an exceptionally smooth finish under your jersey. The anatomical design adapts to the shape of your arm and maintains a stable fit even during hard efforts or on rough terrain. The polyamide-elastane blend combines stretch, recovery and moisture management to keep your skin dry as the pace picks up. PISSEI's Primapelle line is designed around a second-skin feel with minimal seaming, delivering excellent freedom of movement and all-day comfort. Raw-cut edges and near-seamless construction are used throughout the collection to optimise aerodynamics and wearing comfort. All care instructions are clearly defined to ensure the performance properties are preserved over the long term.

Use Cases and Benefits

These arm warmers are the practical solution for extending the versatility of a short-sleeve jersey on cool days, without having to reach for a heavy jacket. In the 13–18 °C range, they go on and off in seconds, pack into any jersey pocket and are therefore perfect for changeable conditions on Swiss club rides, commutes or alpine descents. Combined with a light base layer and a gilet, they cover many typical transitional situations — from a fresh morning start to a sunny ride home. Cycling media consistently recommend arm warmers for exactly these "in-between temperatures" because they're flexible, lightweight and efficient. That way you stay comfortable without overloading your cycling kit.

Care and Handling

To maximise the lifespan of your arm warmers, follow the care instructions: wash inside out at a maximum of 30 °C on a delicate/quick wash cycle, no bleach, no dry cleaning, do not iron and do not tumble dry. Wash lights and darks separately to keep the black colour rich and vibrant for longer. Thanks to the compact, elastic fabric, the arm warmers pack down small and take up minimal space in your jersey pocket. Choose a size that fits snugly without bunching — this is how breathability and moisture transfer work best.
