Forgive my ignorance, but what is the benefit of merino arm warmers?
The px ones (next to roubaix lycra) are maybe less clammy, certainly less wind-blocking. They didn't change my life.

Tis a fair point. Brushed lycra is a better bet for most I guess. My thinking was that with a merino mesh vest on already. Having merino arm warmers in my jersey pocket (as well a packable wind or rain jacket), gives me an instant long sleeved base. So I was looking for them to work under stuff to be honest.
But they actually block a bit of wind, and are far more comfortable than brushed lycra.
The merino knee warmers are equally as great.

Arms don't sweat all that much (at least mine don't) so don't you mainly just want something that stops the wind and offers a bit of warmth?
Fwiw my Torm ones have been great. The were my first arm warmers and they've done ever ry thing I need them to do. The only downside for me is that the seams at the top around my bicep have split a bit. However the double stitching has kept them together. And I'm sure that's mainly my arm shape, I'm sure they'd be fine for most people.
