[pct-l] Arm coverings

[Carl Siechert" <carl@siechert.org (Carl Siechert)]

Go to www. urbanoutfitters.com and search for "arm warmers" The description
reads:

ARM WARMERS
* 100% ACRYLIC
* 14" LONG
* MACHINE WASH WARM, NO BLEACH--LAY FLAT TO DRY
* MADE IN THE USA
 $ 12.00

If you search on Amazon.com, you'll come up with the same item, because
Urban Outfitters has some sort of deal with Amazon. But the best part of the
Amazon page is the following customer review:

"People whine about terrible 80's fashion, and leg warmers, yet today we
have ARM warmers? Wear a friggin sweater, morons! Egads, people are dumb!"

LOL!

I have very bad circulation in my left arm and hand.  Thus it gets very cold
quicker than the rest of my body.  near the end of my AT hike last year I
noticed a cyclist (on the road of course) that had "sleeves" on made of some
sort of powerstretch type material.

I'm looking for something like that but perhaps of an even heavier material.
like neoprene (wetsuit) material.
