Nopinz, a company that specializes in bespoke and high-performance cycling apparel and gear, has launched its first ever gravel bike skinsuit in the form of the 'Pro-1,' a piece of apparel that is designed to offer the unique features desired by gravel bikers along with aerodynamic performance and elegantly sporty aesthetics.
The 'Pro-1' is designed for the specifics of gravel biking, which is precisely why its sleeves are designed to maximize aerodynamic states during low speeds, given the fact that high-level gravel biking isn't quite as fast as other forms of biking. Elsewhere, this gravel bike skinsuit features hip panels to offer protection during crashes, whilst offering handy conveniences to riders in the form of mesh cargo pockets on each leg as well as three oversized rear pockets to carry snacks and accessories.
These innovative gravel bike skinsuits cost around $246 and are available in men's, women's, standard and tall versions, with available sizes running the gamut from 2XS all the way up to 2XL. A variety of color options are also available in the form of green, light blue and black variants.
