Forearm shiver
I almost always wear short-sleeve shirts to work, and when I commute on the FJR I like to have something on my forearms to keep my skin away from the inside of the jacket. In the past I've worn sleeves cut off of long-sleeve t-shirts, but you have to remember to wash them, and it's sometimes a pain to keep them from bunching up.
About a month ago I was scanning and Under Armour web site for some referee gear, and saw their Forearm Shivers. I love using UA shorts when I go on overnighters - a quick rinse in the motel/campground sink and they dry overnight. The shivers are made from the same UA fabric.
I got a pair in the mail, and have been using them for a few weeks, with great results. In hotter weather their light weight works well. The recent cold spell here worried me at first, but they've held up just fine, providing a useful layer of insulation.
I got a black pair. I'm going to put a white pair and a red pair on my holiday wish list.

Did not riding twisties even cross my mind? Riding the twisties wasn't the problem, and no, not riding my ride did not cross my mind and wont. If I die doing it, so be it; I'll die doing something I love. Better than death on the couch watching the Discovery Channel as though I need someone to show me adventures instead of finding them on my own. People die. I will die. I want to have lived before I die and riding is a huge part of life for me.
