Le Col Spring Summer 2018

New to Wheelbase for Spring Summer 2018 is premium British brand Le Col, which was founded by pro cyclist Yanto Barker back in 2011. After over 20,000 hours of riding in the pro peloton, Barker now heads up a team of performance, design and cycling specialists developing technical road cycling kit. A reputation for producing the highest quality road apparel is extended through sponsorship of the Team Wiggins and Storey Racing racing outfits, partnerships which help to contribute to the innovation and development of the Le Col brand.

The Spring Summer 2018 collection from Le Col is categorised into four distinct collections; HC, Pro, Pro Air and Sport. HC, or Hors Categorie, comes from the mountain classification in France and is used to signify the summit of the Le Col collection, with no compromises made in pursuit of luxury, performance apparel. The Pro range stems from Yanto Barker’s 20 year involvement with the pro peloton and uses a collection of aero-fabrics with an objective of optimising speed and performance. Pro Air is designed for the hottest riding conditions, made from a mesh material and perfect for warmer climes. The Sport range takes features from each of the Le Col collections to present affordable products without a compromise in the quality of materials and craftsmanship.

Some of the key pieces in the SS18 Le Col collection include;

Le Col HC Bib Shorts – £180.00

Top of the range bib shorts made from a 220g Italian lycra with a luxury Dolomiti Gel chamois pad.

Le Col Pro Air Mesh Jersey – £120.00

Engineered for riding in hot conditions, this jersey is the lightest and coolest in the entire collection. It maintains the same aero-geared cut as the Pro Jersey while providing maximum breath-ability.

Le Col Pro Soft Shell Gilet – £80.00

A must for Spring/Summer conditions here in the UK, the Pro Soft Shell Gilet is wind and shower proof and small enough to pack away into a rear pocket.

Le Col Sport Jersey – £85.00

A classic, the Sport Jersey is more of a relaxed fit and comes packed with features to ensure comfort and usability.
