Your favorite “under the radar” cycling apparel brand?

Panache out of Boulder. Lots of folks around here wear their kits, but I'm not sure how well known they are outside of the Republic?

I hate (I'm using the word hate) it when a short sleeve jersey bunches up and almost looks like sleeveless.

Carry on.........

So you like the tan lines down by your elbow that can't be covered by a regular T-shirt?

I've always liked the shorter sleeves for that simple reason, the funky tan lines are hidden when you are out in a regular T-shirt.

Is Eliel considered big enough to no longer by under the radar?

2nd Exteondo and Stolen Goat. Also agree with somewhat out there designs. Another well under the radar is Danny Shane. Cannot speak to their bibs, but fan of the jerseys. Extremely soft. Also a bit out there with some designs.

They make the best winter jacket I’ve ever owned. And it cost $112. Insane value!

Cima Coppi. Awesome wool jerseys and the owner is a Paceline member.

Is Aero tech Designs under the radar? Not sure how mainstream. They make some MUSA gear.

I have a Cima Coppi v4 ultralight jersey. Probably my favorite all (well, mostly) wool jersey. Happy to see Lawrence has extended his color palette. I would’ve referenced them as well, but I figure they’re fairly well known around these parts.

Wear those tanlines with pride

I also wear tall socks which create a funky tan line. My favorite is wearing flip flops and shorts post ride and letting those odd lines in the middle of my calf shine like a badge of honor.

I do believe that pics and a “funky tan line” thread are in order 😉

Thanks guys!!! Really, appreciate the kind words.

I've personally always been quite impressed with MachinesforFreedom (it's women's only/focused) but they have a vision, and are really doing it right/really inclusive.

Super under the radar is a Dutch/American startup brand GritMoves. They're really just getting going, and it's Urban, and full disclosure we did a few things for them, but because of that I got to know their concept a bit deeper and I hope they get to realize it all. Lots of slick stuff and ideas.

Oh, and for fun, small batch, non 'comp' Casa Verde (/Crust bikes). Just right.

Those are three off the top of the head...

Lots of good small brands out there, lots named here, support your small brands! And thanks to all of you who have trusted us with your hard earned dollars!

I’m also an Exteondo fan , when on sale, usually on the forum used.
Sportful bibs have proven comfortable to me.
I love the fit of Giordana Exo. Giordana may not be under the radar, but Exo is.
