Sugoi Zap leg warmers deliver great value for mountain riders who want lightweight, wind-resistant protection plus high-visibility reflective detailing and easy packability. They don't match Gore's premium weather barrier or Castelli's advanced hydrophobic fleece, but they undercut others on price while offering practical features for fast, variable mountain rides where portability and visibility matter.
