UPCOMING BATCHES
#EDIT012
Midday (BST) Friday August 28.
#EDIT012 is the final installment of a trilogy of colour-themed launches spanning #EDIT007, #EDIT010 and #EDIT012.
Featuring our core three-season products - plus the 2026 debut of our Winter Cargo Jersey - it's designed for standalone impact or to wear in one of hundreds of possible combinations with the previous batches, all of which share from the same palette.
#EDIT013
Midday (BST) Friday September 25.
EDIT013 features our final new product for 2026, and - if you enjoy riding in inclement weather - you might think it's our best. It's certainly one of our most technically accomplished.
Combining the best aspects of our record-breaking Bib Shorts with the best aspects of our Winter Tights, our new Winter Bib Shorts feature a completely waterproof and windproof main fabric (using membrane technology) coupled with a high waist and our proven long distance pad.
#EDIT013 will also feature our Arm and Leg Warmers.

By doing things differently, we're able to invest far more where it really matters: on class-leading products, ethically made using state of the art recycled materials.
