SANTINI TOTUM LEG WARMERS
The Santini Totum Leg Warmers are the ultimate solution for riders who demand the adaptability of a modular layering system without sacrificing the warmth of a full winter tight. Engineered in Italy, these leg warmers extend from the upper thigh to the ankle, providing comprehensive thermal protection for your quadriceps, knees, and calves. Designed for those crisp mornings where the temperature sits just above freezing, the Totum leg warmers allow you to transform your favorite racing bib shorts into a high-performance winter outfit in seconds.
Constructed from premium Blizzard thermofleece, these warmers feature a soft, brushed internal loft that effectively traps body heat while remaining highly breathable to prevent overheating during intense efforts. The fabric is treated with Acquazero Eco, a fluorine-free water-resistant coating that sheds road spray and light rain, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable even when the roads are damp.
Key Features
Blizzard Thermofleece Fabric: A high-stretch, internally brushed fleece that offers superior thermal insulation and a luxurious feel against the skin.
Acquazero Eco Treatment: High-performance water-resistant technology that forces water to bead off the surface, protecting you from drizzle and tyre spray.
Anatomical Multi-Panel Construction: Carefully shaped to follow the contours of the leg, ensuring a snug, aerodynamic fit that moves naturally with your pedaling stroke.
External Silicone Grippers: Features reinforced silicone dots at the top of the thigh to lock the warmers securely in place underneath your bib short leg grippers.
Ankle Zipper or Raw-Cut Finish: Designed for a low-profile interface with your socks, preventing bulk inside your overshoes and ensuring easy removal over cycling shoes.
Easy Pocket Storage: Despite their full-length coverage, they are highly compressible, allowing them to be stowed in a jersey pocket once the day warms up.

✅ Why This IS For You
Early Morning Commuters: If you leave the house in near-freezing temperatures but need to strip down to shorts for a warmer afternoon ride home.
Performance-Minded Racers: Perfect for those who prefer the compression and fit of their team bib shorts but need the thermal protection of a tight.
Variable Climate Riders: Ideal for mountainous terrain where temperatures can drop significantly during long, high-speed descents.
❌ Why This May NOT be for you
Mild Spring/Autumn Days: For temperatures consistently between 10°C and 16°C, the Santini Totum Knee Warmers provide sufficient protection with less bulk.
Extreme Sub-Zero Conditions: While excellent for most winters, deep-freeze riding (below 2°C) may require the wind-blocking membrane of a dedicated Santini Vega Deep Winter Tight.
BFC Pro Tip
The Santini Totum leg warmers are designed to be worn directly against the skin, tucked under the leg bands of your bib shorts. To ensure they never slide down, pull them up as high as possible so the silicone grippers sit on your mid-to-upper thigh before pulling your shorts over them. To keep the Acquazero water-repellency functioning like new, avoid using fabric softeners in the wash—these coat the fibers and stop water from beading. If you notice they aren't shedding water like they used to, a very brief tumble dry on low heat can help "reset" the water-resistant molecules!
