Technical proficiency meets everyday outerwear in swrve’s Fall 2016 collection.
That’s the thinking behind swrve’s new three-layer seam-sealed fall collection, debuting this week at Interbike. Heathered grays, water-resistant zippers, tailored silhouettes, and all in a handful of styles that can transfer easily from the bike to the trail to the bar.
swrve 3L Anorak
Anoraks are known for being boxy. swrve’s co-founder and head designer, Matt Roletta, took inspiration from Japanese and English design to create an anorak that’s slim and flattering. But there’s more than just looks to this jacket—it’s waterproof, breathable, has a drop tail hem for respectability on the bike, and a full-length zipper for easy on/off and more. $300
swrve 3L Fitted Vest
Zip the two-way full-length zipper up or down to customize your level of airflow in swrve’s new 3L Fitted Vest, completely seam-sealed and waterproof but breathable for fall days on the bike. Hand warmer pockets, venting, fleece at the neck and media ports in all of the pockets will make this a staple in your closet. $150
swrve 3L Full-Zip Jacket
Much like the vest in bells and whistles (two-way full-length zipper, waterproof, seam-sealed, media ports!), the 3L Full-Zip Jacket comes equipped for full-throttle adventure: detachable hood, Velcro-equipped cuffs, no shoulder seams for mobility, and a small visor for fending off weather and sun. Not to mention it looks as sleek as it is sporty. $300
