Textile technology for urban rider outfits

...seen in July at the current Fall/Winter 2013 'Commuter' collection by Levi's. The men's items are designed (material and cut) especially for cycling.

One central aspect of the line is the material. The fabrics are selected after their ability to protect the rider through changing weather. The textiles resist the climate (such as rain) while the body is covered in a quasi advanced climate-zone which is provided by the construction of the woven yarns.

fig.: Levi's Commuter parka in 'proto green' is made of performance stretch denim with thermo-regulating technology: in cold weather the membrane contracts, in warm weather, the membrane opens for breathability and cooling. Seen at Levi's Commuter FW13 collection in July.
