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
I love this jersey. Like ham and pineapple on pizza, you either love it or you hate it. I bought it straight away, and was impressed with the quality and comfort and now I love it even more. Arrueda is a Spanish company started in 2014 making custom cycling kit, and now sells designs to... Continue Reading →

The internet has fallen in love with their Spektrum collection and I have too. They are fresh off a new release of a womens-specific Cyan Shimmer jersey 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
