Product Description
Cascada are a relatively new brand to the world of gravel and adventure cycling and are currently not that well known outside of their native Italy. They offer a range of men’s and women’s cycling and non-riding clothing which look perfect for taking on your next gravel adventure.
They’ve put together a beautiful promo video to showcase both their range of clothing and the incredible riding that they have near their office in Trentino:
Gravel Union asked Cascada to tell us about themselves and this is what they said:
Cascada is a call to seek out and discover hidden lands, an invitation to live active experiences outside your comfort zone. Searching for the unknown and going beyond the known boundaries by immersing yourself in exciting places, coexist with the elements. No matter how and where, with whom or when, what matters is finding your own moment, getting lost to find yourself.
We design our products in Trentino (North Italy), using them daily in our adventures among lakes, woods and mountains, getting inspired by the environment that surrounds us. We create versatile and usable solutions for all outdoor activities, believing every product must satisfy multiple uses.
Although they offer a range of clothing suitable for gravel adventures, they wanted to showcase one particular item in their range – the Land Wool Shirt.
Whether it's exploring new roads on your bike, hiking on mountain trails or wearing it to relax in after your ride, the Land Wool Shirt will bring you on any adventure you want to take.
The fabric, lightly brushed inside, is elasticised to accommodate body movements while you are in the saddle and the slightly longer sleeves can be easily tucked in thanks to the elastic cuffs. The two chest pockets offer a safe place to store keys, phone and money, while in the hidden slot on the left pocket you can put on your glasses when you don't use them.
There is a straight hem on the front, with a longer and rounded cut on the back to offer extra coverage to the lower back while you are pedalling. The front closure with press studs facilitates the opening and closing of the shirt during the activity.
Soft, warm and stretchy, it’s made from a mixed wool / polyester fabric to guarantee maximum comfort on cold days, combining the warmth of wool with the quick drying and transpiration of polyester. In fact, wool can absorb moisture up to 30 percent of its weight without feeling damp or wet, while continuing to insulate.
