+Hot Shot™ Merino
4-way stretch winter luxury uniquely combines superfine merino against your skin with a tightly knitted, hardwearing nylon outer and lycra to stretch and move with your body. Warm as pie.
  • Composition: 28% merino; 44% nylon; 28% lycra.

+Washing

  • All Ground Effect clothing enjoys a warm 40ºC machine wash. Try to avoid cold-water detergents and those with bleach, 'oxygen whitener' or fabric softener.
    • The cold-water varieties have little enzymes that are super-charged to brave the cold but can damage technical fabrics and cause skin irritation.
    • Bleach rots natural fibres like merino, strips the dye, attacks laminates of waterproof fabrics and can also cause skin irritation.
    • Sodium Percarbonate (the main ingredient in oxygen whitener) can make colours run.
    • Fabric softener and stuff containing it like wool wash destroys the water repellent finish on waterproof and water resistant fabrics, and can cause colours to run.
  • As a rule of thumb, a product that is easy on the planet is also easy on your body. Select a mild plant-based soap like Ecostore, Earthwise or Aware.
  • Hand washing is sometimes the only option on tour, but a washing machine rinses more thoroughly and is preferable if you have the choice.
  • Most Ground Effect gear dries super-fast so hanging on the line or drooping over the bedpost is generally the best option. High heat can damage some fabrics so if you do take your threads for a spin, set the device on 'medium' or 'warm' rather than hot. A lap in the dryer is recommended for your rain jacket, after it has dried on the line, as it helps recharge its water repellant finish.

  • Wash colours separately.

+ Shipping
  • Items are generally packed and sent the same day your order is received.
  • Costs $9 by overnight courier within New Zealand.
  • NZ$12 by tracked airmail to Australia.
  • Around NZ$15-25 by tracked airmail to destinations elsewhere in the world - calculated in our shipping cart as you check out. 
    • More shipping and tax details in our FAQ.

      Great arm warmers

      They're seriously toastie, a nice snug fit up almost the whole of the arm and are a great feel.

      Perfect for Scottish Conditions :)

      I purchased these for my daughter & her partner, currently residing in Edinburgh. They have been pressed into service cycle commuting and running in single digit temperatures. They are both stoked with the performance of these arm warmers . Usual speedy dispatch from GE, highly recommended.

      Useful layering

      Bought these for my husband. He really likes them as they are warm and he can take them off when he needs to.

      Best ever

      Just took my new Yoyo's & Knee Caps on a 25hrs non-stop overnighter with rain and temps down to 9-degrees. The merino & slightly thicker overall material makes these the best arm/leg warmers i've had in 40+ yrs cycling. Warm, wind-proof & shower-proof. Sizing perfect relative to what size I think I am too.

      Warm Warmers

      Purchased Yoyo arm warmers from Ground Effect and they worked a treat - merino warmth and some wind resistance. Might not be enough for a really cold morning (0ºC and below) but excellent for chill spring and autumn rides. Quick service, as always.
