PETALUMA, Calif. (BRAIN) — Mountain bike apparel brand Kitsbow has added a road line that includes a jersey, bib short, windbreaker, and knee and arm warmers.
"Mountain biking was our starting point, our core and our passion at Kitsbow," said Charlie Cronk, who co-founded Kitsbow with Zander Nosler. "Most of us ride, whether it's mountain, urban commuting or road, so each addition to the line has been a natural progression. Now we're excited to expand into road apparel, remaining true to Kitsbow's design philosophy: dedication to beautiful, technical fabrics with functional details, made to be worn hard and built to last. The new pieces are in the spirit of what we like about being on the bike — adventure, fun, going out and getting lost or finding a new path and exploring where it goes."
The road line includes:
- Geyser's Jersey (MSRP: $169): The jersey's merino synthetic blend (57 percent poly, 43 percent merino) is made for riding in any weather, with breathability, wicking, moisture management and anti-microbial properties. An articulated shape and race cut with a higher front ensures proper fit in the saddle while the gripper waist keeps the garment in place. Available in three colors: flash, ti-gray and denim.
- King Ridge Windbreaker ($179): A lightweight, packable wind- and water-resistant shell, the King Ridge Windbreaker has a reflective logo for safety, soft knit at the top of the collar and knit cuffs at the sleeve openings, articulated fit and shaped sleeves.
- Coleman Valley Bib Short ($179): Made from Polartec Power Stretch, the bib short's next-to-skin layer stays dry, breathable and comfortable by continuously transferring moisture vapor for rapid evaporation while the outer surface has a low-friction finish that increases abrasion resistance. Straps on the bib are made from a knit mesh elastic for lightness and breathability, and hidden leg pockets are available for ditching wrappers.
- Road Arm Warmer and Knee Warmer ($59 each): The lightweight, 50+ UPF-rated warmers feature an articulated shape for great fit, flat-lock construction, silicon pixel grippers, and reflective logo treatment for visibility.
