'SPRING INTO ACTION'
With the first signs of Spring appearing for many, thoughts turn to shoulder-season layering, as well as warmer (and, thankfully, drier) rides ahead.
With this in mind, #EDIT007 sees our benchmark-setting bib shorts in two new colours, with marginal gains of an additional reflective decal on the back for increased visibility from behind, plus our new double-sided strap printing.
#EDIT007 also marks the debut of our brand new leg warmers, as well as a highly requested female-specific strapless short. The batch includes:
Bib Shorts (Standard and Cargo)
Women's Strapless Shorts
Leg Warmers
Arm Warmers
Made from premium recycled fabrics throughout, and engineered for unrivalled comfort and performance, #EDIT007 will help you transition seamlessly between seasons.
#EDIT007 launches at Midday (UK) Friday 27th February in an edition of 350 pieces per product.
BIB SHORTS
Hopefully by now our bib shorts need no introduction.
If you're back for a refresh, you already know the deal. But if it's your first order, and you're wondering if they really match up to the hype, fear not - this is what comfort and performance feels like when you can spend double (or even triple) on your product specs.
Made by hand in Italy in small batches from an Italian fabric described by road.cc as 'the nicest thing I've ever put next to my skin', our bib shorts simply disappear when you wear them.
But these are no Emperor's Clothes.
Used by multiple endurance world record holders, our clipless dropseat and bespoke Italian 4-layer memory foam chamois ensures continent-crossing comfort, and we have pairs still functioning like new after 20,000km of abuse.
The real question is, do you buy one pair, or two?
WOMEN'S SHORT
Whilst our bib shorts have featured a clip-free drop seat across both our Men's and Women's shorts from day one, we've had a lot of inbound requests for a padded short.
We weren't completely confident that we could match the performance of our bib shorts, and we didn't want to compromise their flawless reputation with a less-than-perfect product.
But when one of our fastidious testers told us that she was packing a sample pair for her next Ultra race instead of our bibs ('less weight, less stuff to get tangled') we were finally convinced they were ready.
The same fabric and chamois as our bib shorts. A supportive mid-section that stays up without being too restrictive, whatever your body shape. Welcome to our Women's Signature Short.
Wish we made them for Men? Let us know!
LEG WARMERS
We have an admission to make; we were never entirely happy with our knee warmers.
If you are in the sweet spot where they work for you, they're great. And we have plenty of happy customers.
But the 7/10 review on road.cc (the lowest any of our products has ever scored) haunted us into a complete redevelopment, and after lengthy (pun intended) conversations with our customers and testers, we settled on replacing them with a full leg warmer.
Featuring the same Italian GRS-certified recycled brushed-back fabric as our existing knee and arm warmers, we've sourced a unique gripper that features finely woven silicone, for the perfect balance between grip and comfort.
ARM WARMERS
Arm Warmer's are deceptively difficult to get right.
Part of the issue is the sheer variety of arm sizes - and the difference that can make to fit.
To combat this, our Arm Warmer's come in a choice of two lengths per size, meaning you'll find the perfect fit whatever your build.
And once you do, you'll benefit from an ergonomic multi-panel design, which uses offcuts of our bib short fabric for an extra-wide upper gripper that never, ever slips.
