who we are, why are we doing this?
if you got all the way to this section, you might as well take out the whiskey bottle and the old jazz records, because it is about to become philosophical in here. the best way to understand who we are, and why are we doing this, is by answering a question most of us had to respond to at one time or another… why do you like to climb? because it is fun, and har
d, and a way of understanding who we are as people, what are we really made of. riding a bike, and especially going up, puts everything in the place it really belongs. the simplistic pleasure of being self-propelled to the summit of a mountain, through whatever the elements, to find nothing but a great view and the incredible feeling of accomplishment. - i guess we like difficult things, we like being told not to do something, and then finding ourselves doing it a second later.
ok, so, aren’t there enough difficult things to do out there? because there are few brands that we actually like, and even less that we personally identify with. we are not a seasonal-design, mass-producing sell-quickly apparel brand. we develop highly differentiated technical apparel focused on serious cyclists. minimal and simple. we believe that in this overcrowded market, there is still space for a brand to hold a flag for the climbers, the stubborns, the pain addicts. a brand that can boldly talk about what one feels and thinks while riding up. a brand with soul and personality.
we develop every single product with passion and attention to detail. we don’t cut corners. our products use the lightest materials, the cuts that will optimize climbing and descending, and what we like to wear on our rest days.
we treat people, the way we like to be treated.
why grade? if you climb… you know why.
that’s us.
