Here comes the business version of the cycling suit. No more embarrassing sweat stains in the morning meeting or cramped, changing contortions in the restroom stale; the Commuter Suit combines corporate fashion with functional cycling gear to keep the bike ride to work free of sweat and pinches. The key is the material - an Australian 135 Performance Superwool (Superwool!) containing 28% Spandex and has a moisture resistant finish, the perfect stretch-and-dry combo. This still elegant material allows the skin to breathe but wicks away moisture, so does the merino wool on the outside, which makes for a double evaporator. The incorporated pleat in the back allows the cycler to reach, stretch and feel free to move in whichever way. A hidden reflective trim on the collar and sleeves, which can be rolled up by choice, is a safety feature as discreet as it is effective. Unobtrusive, too, is the reverse coil zipper on the bottom side of the upper arm for extra ventilation when kicking it to high gear.

Developed by apparel brand Parker Dusseau, the existence of the Commuter Suit is suggests that cycling's popularity is not just confined to the young or the less financially able anymore, but is now the go-to mode of transport for many professionals working in industries not immediately associated with cycling culture.
