The Merits of Linen/cotton

photo Red Dots Cycling





Yesterday, on my Sunday ride the weather hovered around (30C). The hot spell continues here in the lower mainland. And I always have a Red Dots cycling cap.

Many of our 3-season caps are made from linen cotton. We also use cotton and wool but love linen/cotton for it's natural characteristics. Linen is very absorbent, it basically pulls moisture away off the body and keeps you dryer. It's also lightweight, breathable & antibacterial. And you don't have to worry about shrinkage, we pre-wash our fabric. Chapeau to linen/cotton our favorite and hard working fabric!

Sometimes good and not so good things happen, we are happy to solve our recent delay issues and get back to good news to launch our new cycling cap... The Grand Départ!

The Tour de France is mightily huge and French riders are excitingly challenging for the podium.  Our French tribute has two versions; Version 1; French royal blue linen/cotton, full yellow ribbon, embroidered 'rd' with yellow dots (influenced by the yellow jersey) and a bold handmade French tricolor ribbon. Version 2; Everything the same as version 1, we decided to go for a retro look with a full vintage white ribbon. 


Vive le Tour, Vive le France, Vive le Grand Départ!


Now available here.





I know it's only a few days before my birthday, but I received this from Carolle...


I can't wait to taste this!
