Fans of Ornot‘s Cargo Bib Shorts had an interesting request for the brand: Can you make regular bib shorts from this material? Meet the Not-Cargo Bib Shorts. Same recycled fabric, supportive compression, low-profile grippers, and the all-day chamois you know from the brand’s Cargo Bibs. The only difference is that there are no pockets…
Matt from Ornot worked on a fun edit from the 2025 Made Bike Show, featuring Dustin Klein, Russ, and Laura from Path Less Pedaled, and some dork wearing a sun hoodie. Enjoy!
Ornot is perhaps best known for its minimalist design and subtle branding. Yet, the San Francisco-based cycling apparel brand just broke its own rules with Billboard Jersey and Billboard Cotton Tee. Covered in distorted logos, metal fonts (their split 7″ with Atheosophia was better than their last 12″), and deliberate chaos, these pieces are both a nod to vintage band tees and a tongue-in-cheek critique of logo-saturated cycling kits.
As a twist, Ornot is offering a $15 “marketing credit” to anyone willing to wear the jersey ($178) — a rare exception for a brand that’s spent over a decade avoiding walking advertisements. You can wear the jersey and save $15 at checkout, bringing the price down to $163. There’s also a t-shirt ($65) and a bottle ($18) for those less daring.

Summer has arrived in Tucson, Arizona. While everyone is reveling in the warmer weather, Spencer is hunkering down for his introspective season. Nonetheless, he will wake up at the ass crack of dawn to get some “cool” riding in. Here is a list of his picks for favorite products of summer 2025.
On top of restocking its Power Air Hoodies for Men and Women, Ornot is running a special edition collaboration to celebrate The California Mountain Biking Coalition‘s (CAMTB) 5th anniversary.

All proceeds from the sale of the CAMTB edition Power Air Hoodie will be donated to CAMTB to support advocacy and trail-building efforts. Available in Stone Blue. Preorder today for October delivery.
Produced from Polartec Power Air, this limited-edition Hooded Pullover keeps you warm and comfortable, whether riding ridgelines in the alpine or winding down at the trailhead.

Ornot is proud to “re-release” the Gravel Sweater. A small batch was made and sold out nearly instantly, so Ornot doubled down. Coming in several new (men’s and women’s) colors, the Gravel Sweater is a true crossover, meant to be worn on and off the bike. Made in the USA with deadstock Polartec® Power Wool™, Ornot’s Gravel Sweater has all the perks of extra-fine Merino without spinning up new fabric. The grid structure locks in warmth when you want it and lets it go when you don’t—ideal for long days in the saddle, layering, lounging, or just looking like you have plans.
While the fabric is the main attraction, the Gravel Sweater features a hidden rear pocket, perfect for storing a phone, glasses, snacks, or other ride essentials. It’s naturally antimicrobial, moisture-wicking, warm when wet, and is available in both men’s and women’s silhouettes.
