Ibex Knee Warmers

Ever had that need to bring your total body temperature up but it wasn't cold enough to warrant full leg warmers or another layer up top? I've found that knee warmers help moderate total temperature and of course fill that void of keeping the knee caps warm on mild shoulder season days.


In the off chance that you find your self in need of gaitors for some off trail travel the knee warmers can be pulled down to keep goat heads and thorn out of your biking shoes while bushwhacking to your next great trail experience. While racing in Australia at the XPD, a 5-10 day race throughout Australia West coast, I was in dire need of some ankle protection coming off of a bike section. After heading into the bush, 13 hours later, I removed a couple of thorns and pulled them back up to warm the body on the bike. Who would have thought?

Ibex pulls it off again, great quality product that just keeps on giving.
