If there was a complaint we had about Outlier’s trouser offerings it would be this: they have few color options.

That has all changed, and the OG 4season pant now comes in army green, burgondy, and marine. They still function the same – repelling dirt, grime, water, and all other city scum. However, with color, they don’t have you blending in with the bad weather. Instead you standout. Which, when you are biking on dark winter days certainly isn’t a bad thing.

New York’s leaders in cycle geared garments, Outlier, has a few new items kicking for the heat of summer.

Their ultralight pants weight pants utilize a complex blend of nylons that forms a yarn-dyed double woven fabric. A shade lighter, even, than the Summer Shorts, the pants retain the hard wearing and rugged characteristics Outlier trousers are known for… just now refined for the balmiest of days.

The shorts are similarly constructed and equipped with a drawstring. The guys suggest they are for lazy triatheltes – bike to the beach, lug a cooler to the shoreline, and have a swim. Quick drying, and fitted with mesh pockets, the Summer Shorts are

Though fashion tides seem to be changing (and shorts in city life are seemingly more acceptable), I still like my cropped pants rugged and functional.

Outlier’s Workwear Shorts hit the mark. Made of the same doubleweave canvas as their long legged brother, the shorts hit right at the top of the knee and repel dirt, rain, grime, and hopefully the residue of a lobster roll. Three colors are available – black, indigo, and slate.

Having worked a cycling lifestyle into office trousers, the next logical move is to incorporate dynamic movement into the dress shirt. The Outlier Pivot Shirt attempts that step. Abe Burmeister and Tyler Clemens walked us through the unlikely inspiration behind the eventual chosen cut.

Their words, and more fine illustrations after the jump.

Outlier’s workwear pants have hit full production. Designed for function (like all Outlier product, these have the cyclist in mind), the trouser is built from Outlier doubleweave canvas. What, exactly is that? The outer weave is a durable Cordora canvas, while the inner is brushed for canvas. Additionally, the fabric is treated to make it self cleaning. A curved waist band and gusseted crotch are added for freedom of movement.

The guys at Outlier continue their steady run of caps produced by New York milliner Victor Osborn. Constructed of a favorite worsted wool, the namesake nailhead, the cap has a subtle pinprick pattern producing good depth of character. The liner is designed to wick sweat away – key for those long fall Sunday rides.

Available in black, navy, and a light blue gray.

Summer bike commuting brings with it a whole series of problems. The first is heat – but that is combined with cool mornings, quick rain fall, and that insatiable desire to hang out a bit after work. Can a single pair of trousers fill these requirements? Outlier believes one can (or rather, that two can, being as they offer a selection of cuts). Taking what they developed over the last few seasons, the Outlier team has built their OG Pants and slimmer Climber pants with lighter fabrics. The summer editions repel moisture from the surface, and wick moisture from the inside. Basically, win and win. The fabric used is 180 g/m, lined with a loose weave cool max and covered with 3xDry.

I’ve been running with some denim myself while riding the bike. It’ probably not the best option as it does not give my special friends the breathability they need. Outlier does their best to change this with their Climber Pants that offer a slim fit look for cyclists everywhere. “The Outlier Climber pants are a full on reengineering of slim cut pants for a cyclists world. The innovative vertical yoke removes most of the traditional stress points that cycling generates in a garment, allowing for a free range of movement. The curved waistband is higher in the back to hide your crack from the world and lower in the front to allow you to lean forward and ride in comfort.”

Abe and Tyler of Outlier are on a constant search for fabrics that meet their needs in tailored performance. They recently found a stash of surplus tropical wool suiting material – and soon discovered it worked perfectly for a summer weight cycling cap. There previous foray into wool caps was a winter weight merino offering, fully waterproof, and produced by milliner Victor Osborne. Osborne again is charged with producing this hat, which despite the lighter weight retains the performance qualities of the merino version. Several sound colors choices are there, as well as a selection of weight.

Following their initial merino wool experiment (a t-shirt), Outlier releases a limited set of hooded sweatshirts with the same high grade material. The sleeves are raglan for full range of movement, and the back features a drop tail for extended coverage. Five color options are available – black, charcoal gray, light gray, rich blue, and army green.
