2023 Gravelstoke Kit Presale
It’s hard to believe that we are 5 years into the Gravelstoke project. What started as a simple idea to inspire cyclists through community, photography, and story telling, has grown into something that’s often hard to grasp. We continue to host rides in San Diego, collaborate with likeminded brands, travel and explore new places by bike, attend grassroots events, write thoughtful gear reviews, and grow a diverse North American gravel team. One of most enjoyable annual traditions however, is the kit. Every year since 2018 we have worked with a local company that assembles our kits right here in San Diego. And while we could work with other companies in this crowded space, or even attempt to manufacture our own kits offshore, it really is a pleasure to work with a California-based company that makes exceptional apparel for the gravel application.
Gravelstoke Kit 6.0
This year we were thrilled to work with one of our Dev Team riders, Danny Geary, who brought his extensive experience in apparel design at companies including Volcom and Roark to the 6.0 kit project. For 2023, we pulled inspiration from the outdoors, while staying true to the bright feel of Gravelstoke designs in the past. Mixing dark with light, we pulled familiar colors leveraged in past seasons, and created our most streamlined design yet for a clean look. The Gravelstoke Kit 6.0 features bold blues, adventure inspired greens, and a pop of yellow. Essential colors include Army Green, Kelp Blue, and Mustard Yellow, together with a Midnight Blue bib short.
Styles Offered
In our first presale of the year we are offering a short sleeve jersey, a long sleeve jersey and gravel tee for the top. Bib shorts offered include a Cargo Bib and non-cargo style. Three outerwear pieces to compliment the collection are also offered. The images below are the designs now available for pre-order. The first piece is our 2023 Solana SS jersey, Eliel’s race fit jersey with inset sleeves. We also have a Solana LS jersey with a complementary design. Both jerseys are available in both Men’s and Women’s styles, in sizes 2XS to 2XL.
Cargo Bibs & Gravel Tee Bundle
This year we are excited to bring back the Gravel Tee, a lightweight shirt that feels like you’re wearing nothing at all. Some even say it feels like water! The Gravel Tee comes in Kelp, featuring our 2023 Dev Team emblem in Mustard on the front left chest and back panel. Even better news is that we are offering the Gravel Tee FREE with the purchase of our new Cargo Bibs! The Gravel Tee doesn't have pockets, but it will pair perfectly with the Cargo Bibs for all the storage you’ll need.
We hope you are as excited as we are in the Gravelstoke Kit 6.0 collection. The deadline to pre-order is Wednesday, February 8 at Midnight PST. Kits are expected to ship in 8-10 weeks.
