As a companion piece to his workshop visit with Albion Cycling Clothing, Petor Georgallou spent the majority of the past year reviewing multiple pieces across Albion’s range of cycling and cycling-adjacent outerwear product lines.

Albion continues its rollout of 2021 apparel with a major drop, just before the holiday season. Its new ZOA lineup tackles warm and dry on-the-bike apparel with the bright orange ZOA Rain Shell, which uses a 100% recycled Pertex® Shield Air main fabric with an air-permeable nanofibre membrane and the ZOA Insulated Jacket which utilizes Pertex® Quantum outer fabric and Primaloft Gold Eco breathable insulation to deliver a lightweight but warm riding jacket. Both of these new items are shipping today from Albioncycling.com.

Albion is known for its minimally-branded performance cyclewear. The latest update from the brand is a new color in the Ultralight Insulated Jacket. This jacket weighs just 99 grams (size small), utilizes Clo’s Eco Vivo breathable recycled insulation concept in externally baffled panels to supply ample breathability, and comes with its own stuff sack to pack it away in a handlebar bag or jersey pocket.
