I've had the great joy of riding in these socks for several months, over short rides and long, on the trainer and on the road. I'mĀ stuck thinking of too many ways to introduce and explain these magical foot tubes to you, so instead I will let Velobici do the introduction. If you are skeptical reading... Continue Reading →

The Domestique Critique: Primal Obsidian Prisma Bibshort
Primal offers their kit options in a wide range of sizes, with a comfortable fit and a flattering matte sheen to the Lycra, the Obsidian Prisma bibshorts definitely look like a good value. And for the most part they really are, but with a few tweaks they could be even better. The first thing you... Continue Reading →
The Domestique Critique: Primal – Rain-Boa, Emery Rambler Jerseys
Primal Wear is really moving up in the design department, with bold colors and performance-driven materials. Available in a wide range of sizes, Primal offers a comfortable fit at a great price for the recreational cyclist.

The Domestique Critique: Pink is the New Pink
A shock of color in a comfortable shoe. A color does not have a gender, so I'm ambivalent about people's feelings toward pink. You can vilify it, embrace it, flash it, hide it, wear it as a badge of honor, or reject it completely. I will simply admit that it looks badass as a cycling... Continue Reading →
The Domestique Critique: RedWhite The BIB
RedWhite is an anomaly in the cycling clothing industry - they only focus on bibshorts. Specifically, endurance bibshorts. The bibshorts are designed with long rides of 4 to 5 hours or more in mind. RedWhite was started in 2014 by two men based in Singapore so it took them awhile to develop a women's short,... Continue Reading →
The Domestique Critique: Dotout
I first came to know Dotout at Interbike in Las Vegas. I had seen their Instagram but there is no denying that touching a fabric is far superior to staring at a screen wondering if it would look right on you. Dotout is a fairly new brand on the market, coming out of Italy. They... Continue Reading →
The Domestique Critique: Arrueda

Arrueda is a Spanish company started in 2014 making custom cycling kit, and now sells designs to... Continue Reading →
The Domestique Critique: Angeles Creative Jersey
That jersey, though. Angeles Creative is a small company from Southern California but they are making waves in a big way. The internet has fallen in love with their Spektrum collection and I have too. They are fresh off a newĀ releaseĀ of a womens-specificĀ Cyan Shimmer jerseyĀ and the color bomb is truly epic. Straight out of the... Continue Reading →
The Domestique Critique: Velocio Light Long Sleeve Jersey & Signature Fly Bib Knickers
Click. Refresh. Click. Refresh. The weather report didn't change from 60°F and partly cloudy with 15mph wind. I hate wind. No matter how many times I refreshed the page I couldn't will it to be 80 and sunny so I could wear the last of the summer kit. I wasn't ready to let go of... Continue Reading →
