Cool Commuting Duds
With gas climbing past $4
per gallon and people worrying about the impact of their automotive emissions
on the world, there’s a trend gaining speed—biking.
People are looking to drive less and bike more. To meet this need and keep people looking cool, Gramicci has created a line of fun, hip and functional urban biking apparel that can go from the bike to the casual office to dinner. And designs are not your typical spandex and fluorescent stripes.
Choose from pants, capris, shorts,
skirts, jackets and performance tees in a variety of quick-drying and
breathable fabrics with a cotton-like look and feel. Fabric is key, but so is
fit. Garment features include
Gramicci’s “Freedom of Movement Gusset,” allowing for ease of pedaling, as well
as the “Peg-A-Leg” adjustable hem feature.
There is also a ‘Rider Comfort Fit
Waistband’ designed to keep the back of the pants up while riding. Mesh panels
on the jackets allow for air-stream ventilation and zip-open breathable vents
on sides further enhance air flow. All items in the uban biking line come with
a removable sticker carrying the “Drive Less and Bike More” slogan. Check ‘em
out at Gramicci.com.
