There’s a good bit of singletrack near and around my hometown, so my crew and I grab post-ride beers often. Kitsbow’s apparel isn’t cheap, but the company makes some of the best trail-to-town gear. The poly-cotton Essplanade is the perfect example. It has
jersey details like hidden vents in the shoulders for extra breathability, SPF 50 sun protection, and a zippered rear stash pocket, but the sleek style (dig those snap buttons!) means you could easily wear it to work or on a date. It’s a relatively thick shirt, so I probably won’t reach for this one in August, but I will use it often on social rides. I’m also a sucker for a front chest pocket. There’s also a long-sleeve version.
