Leg warmers have been used during training for a long time, taking the place of the more traditional kyahan (traditional ninja and samurai gaiters, recently hard to find), allowing practitioners to keep the lower legs warm and facilitate clearer movement during practice. These are actually unisex (despite the Amazon link labelling them as for female), very good quality, soft, and stay securely in place without dropping during activity, allowing you to train well and feel more in tune with your movement.
