Rab Launches Cinder Range for Adventure Biking

Building on more than 40 years of expertise crafting clothing and equipment for mountain activities, Cinder provides performance and protection over any terrain, in any condition – available to consumers this spring,

British outdoor brand Rab (owned by Equip Outdoor Technologies Ltd.) will launch its first-ever collection for adventure biking to consumers this spring. The Cinder range builds on over 40 years of expertise crafting clothing and equipment to protect against the most adverse weather conditions, providing performance and comfort for all mountain pursuits.

Tim Fish, Equip Product Director, explains: “Off-road cycling adventures require immense versatility. We deal with terrain, pace, and fickle weather, and we have over 40 years of knowledge and experience crafting clothing and equipment to manage these conditions. This season we’re introducing a new cycling collection, combining that experience with a finely tuned fit to enable adventure and exploration.” ​

Cinder includes 31 styles for men and women and features advanced technologies and refined designs. From award-winning waterproofs that keep you fully protected but allow your skin to breathe; to layers that work in harmony to regulate your microclimate at a molecular level, the new designs with body-mapped materials perfectly balance protection and freedom of movement, keeping you comfortable in any conditions.

 

The award-winning Cinder Phantom Jacket for men and women is the ultimate ultralight waterproof jacket for cyclists. Weighing in at less than 100g, it’s an exceptionally packable, breathable, protective layer with a silicone grip drop hem, ride-refined sleeves, and a frame attachable stuff sack. The ultralight Pertex Shield 2.5-layer fabric offers stretch, weather protection, and breathability, built with a fusion of durable face fabrics and a breathable, microporous waterproof coating.

The Cinder Kinetic Jacket is a stretch waterproof biking jacket, offering put-on, keep-on protection to riders who embrace any forecast. The next evolution in Rab’s popular Kinetic range is built with ultra-soft Proflex 3-layer fabric for breathable, lightweight protection that excels in all conditions. A unique Rab innovation, Proflex is made by sandwiching a bespoke PU hydrophilic membrane between two high gauge knit fabrics. Its construction allows Rab to make ‘softshell’ jackets with the waterproof protection of a traditional hardshell. Proflex is a true revolution in waterproof technology, designed to transform how you dress for the outdoors.

The new Cinder Cargo Bibs and Shorts use the Elastic Interface gravel-specific chamois for optimum distance-free freedom.

The new Liner Bibs and Shorts also use the Elastic Interface gravel-specific chamois for optimum freedom over any distance.

After extensive field trials and lab research, this chamois was chosen as it suited the needs of a wide demographic of users, offering consistent and enduring comfort over distance, days, and all-terrain. Lightweight, breathable, and secure, it is built with a composite cell structure for unmatched elastic recovery. This chamois is built to last whatever distance, thanks to Elastic Interface and their worldwide standard for quality and innovation.
