The hood is removable and adjustable so that it can fit over a helmet, but it can also be stowed easily in a jacket pocket. The Refuge also has reinforced shoulders so that you can wear a backpack without fear of damaging the jacket. The Refuge Jacket is waterproof and breathable, with vents along your core to prevent overheating. All zippers use water-resistant Aquaguard Vision zippers to keep the rain out. It’s built with Elite 3-layer performance fabric and is fully seam-taped for rain protection. The Refuge Jacket is beautifully designed and made to last. It’s quickly become my favorite jacket to wear when it’s raining or the skies are clear. Showers Pass refers to the Refuge Jacket as a “do-it-all” jacket and I can see why. to anyone looking for a fixie or single-speed bike.Ĭheck out my photoshoot with the ever so attractive Le Fleur 3 in the gallery below: I chose to get the bike switched to single-speed mode since I’m a casual cyclist and like to be able to coast if I’m on a flat road or going down a hill. The bike is super comfortable and has proven to be a head-turner. My bike feels great pedaling and provides a ride smoother than silk. Their bikes are not feature-packed by any means, but they are clean, classic-looking bikes with a fun, sporty aesthetic. My local REI assembled the bike for me for around $65.Īfter riding my Le Fleur 3 for a while, I’ve got to say that I’m a huge fan of State Bicycle Co. While not a deal-breaker, it’s definitely something you’ll need to keep in mind as an added cost.

2018 MINI DIARY LEATHER INSTALL
Your bike will ship 90% assembled from the factory, meaning you basically only have to install the handlebars, wheels, and brakes, although State strongly recommends you get your bike professionally assembled.
Each bike comes with front and rear brakes, alloy Wellgo pedals, and a synthetic leather saddle with steel rails. The bikes weigh around 19 lbs 9 oz with the lo-pro wheels, which is a nice weight to either carry or ride. Once you get into any of the really fun, eccentric designs, the price rises to around $449. State’s line of 4130 Core Line bikes starts around $299 for their tastefully designed single colorway bikes, like the Hanzo (red) or Pigeon (light grey). Chromoly steel is harder, tougher, and is more corrosion resistant as well. Chromoly steel is often used when more strength is required as compared to standard mild carbon steel. It’s a line of bikes built using Chromoly steel frames, grade 4130. State Bicycle Co’s 4130 Core Line is State’s foundation. State Bicycle Co was kind enough to send us a Le Fleur 3 single-speed bike from their 4130 Core Line, so we wanted to put together a Summer 2018 Cycling guide, also featuring Showers Pass, Ottolock, ABUS, and Thousand helmets. While consumers in mainstream markets still buy leather products, there is a strong upward demand for ethical, green and recycled products.Summer means getting outside, and there’s no better way to enjoy nature by hitting the open road on a bicycle. Additionally, the end consumers are a more socially and environmentally conscious generation, desiring products with less animal materials and wishing to eliminate plasticized products. In addition to the fashion industry, recycle leather has applications for automobiles, upholstery and interior design. Brands specifically and the fashion industry as a whole have long sought sustainable materials originally turning to fabric, now they are considering recycled leather.
