Clothing especially for gravel bikers: claustrophobia GRVL

26 May 2020 by the editorial office

Clothing: Gravel biking is one of the top trends in the bike industry this year. The sport moves between racing bike and mountain bike. The question always arose, is the casual mountain bike outfit the right choice or the skin-tight Lycra. Claustrophobia was one of the first to react and created just the right mix. On average, the claustrophobic GRVL lies ideally between the two established worlds and delivers the right combination of nonchalance and aerodynamics. Ideal for every gravel biker. In addition to shirts, shorts and jackets, the scope of the collection also includes socks and bibs. Of course, the right rain gear is also included for wet days.

Agoraphobia GRVL: Polo Jersey

The polo jersey was developed to complement the gravel shorts. Perfect for rides on hot days thanks to breathable and extra air-permeable materials. The cut is based on a normal polo shirt but is more sporty without being super tight. The practical elastic waistband at the back prevents the jersey from riding up. The back part of the polo shirt is cut longer and comes with an ergonomic back pocket that can accommodate a drinking bottle and other useful little things.



Price: €69,90 RRP
Sizes: S-XXL
Colours: Black I Yellow

 



Agoraphobia GRVL: Roads Short
