Technical APPAREL
Some recent work I’ve done at Patagonia with the support of an amazing product team (plm, development, materials, trims, color and pattern). Stemming from my passion for the outdoors and mountain biking, problem solving through design. Excited to see this product come to life after countless hours ideating, prototyping, testing in the field, and working with our bike community, ambassadors and athletes.
Patagonia Dirt Craft
A collection of mountain bike specific products, built to endure long days on the trail.
The DIRT CRAFT BIKE JERSEY is designed for all your bike adventures. Lightweight and quick drying double knit fabric used through the main body and arms, paneled with capilene lightweight fabric through the back panel for ultimate breathability. Drop-tail hem in back for better on-bike coverage. Warp knit cuff at sleeve opening provides the best stretch and is quick to dry, so you can pull the sleeve up on your arm and it stays in place. This long sleeve style offers great sun protection and keeps you cool and covered for those long days on the trail.
The DIRT ROAMER SHORTS are the lightest, most minimal short in the Patagonia mountain bike bottom lineup. Fully bonded seams eliminate stitching and provide a smooth clean finish. A minimal waistband cinch adjustment allows the rider to customize the fit. For the long day on the trail where performance is top priority, this is the short to grab.
The DIRT ROAMER STORM JACKET is a mountain bike specific waterproof jacket to keep you dry on those days you brave the rain on your bike. Pullover style with a 1/2 front zipper eliminates bulk around the waist, powermesh lined side vents allow you to open up the jacket to dump heat, without it flapping around. Two fabrics used, with the ripstop fabric paneled into those high abrasion zones - arms, back hem and top of shoulders. Helmet compatible hood fits over a bike helmet nicely and stays in place; the brim shape allows for the water to run off. Velcro cuffs add the adjustability to keep water out and cinch down the cuff. One secured zippered back pocket allows you to stash any bike tools, food, etc.
The Patagonia DIRT CRAFT PANTS are a lightweight/breathable mountain bike pant for year-round riding. They have amazing stretch and laser perforation on the inner thigh and back of knees to help manage heat. A low profile waistband with elastic keeps the pant in place without the bulk of velcro or snaps. Patterned for the movement of a mountain biker, the Dirt Craft Pants will keep you comfortably out on the bike all day.
The MERINO 3/4 SLEEVE BIKE JERSEY is lightweight and breathable. Longer hem provides better coverage on the bike. Strategic seam placement so you don’t feel them while riding. Color blocking on the sleeves to add a bit of fun to the style. Fairtrade certified.
