We take a look at some tech infused gadgets and clothes to keep you looking sharp and ahead of the curve while peddling out and about this fall.
The Rapha Lapelled Jacket combines sleek, semi-formal tailoring with high-tech fabric that offers smart features. Comprised of a cotton-nylon blend that features Elastane, the fabric is lightweight, dirt resistant, quick-drying and stretches out any creases you might create while riding. Vents along the shoulder seams allow for a better ride and flexibility of the fabric means the jacket will shape to your body while riding. All this basically translates to looking incredibly sharp and put together without having to compromise practicality.
Finally biking pants that don’t look like biking pants! Perfect for those who bike to work, or for any that want a more polished not-so-athletic cycling look. BetaBrand Bike To Work Pants are so discretely designed you won’t even know that they’re specifically designed with biking in mind. Designed to look like your go-to pair of chinos, the slim fit and office-appropriate color means you’ll be comfortable and looking smart all day long. And for when you’re out on the streets, roll up the cuff to reveal a super-bright reflective panel plus an equally blinding flag that pulls out from the rear pocket. With these on, coworkers and motorists alike will know you mean business!
Part of Levi’s Commuter Collection, this Commuter Workshirt in Chambray offers cyclists a high performance alternative that doesn’t sacrifice convenience, safety, mobility or style. It’s completely water, dirt, and stain resistant plus Levi’s unique finish means that it’s perspiration-absorbent too. A large vent on the back and two underarm vents offers some breathing room, while button-flap pockets on the chest and utility pockets on the sleeve and back, means that there’s plenty of storage to keep your hands free for more important things.
Also by Rapha, these jeans are developed specifically for the brand in Italy, and the denim is an evolution in functional fabric. The extra-stretchy yarn of the denim allows for ease of movement and means that the jeans are extremely resistant to rips and tears and won’t deteriorate in high friction areas like other denim. The right rear pocket is reinforced enough to hold a compact D-lock and the front pockets are made extra deep to keep contents secure while on the move. With safety in mind, Rapha has given these jeans a reflective Rapha logo and high-visibility pink binding that shines brightly when the pants are rolled up. All so that no matter where you find yourself, you’re safe and looking pretty all right.
