Swedish brand Craft, founded in 1977, have been spending big over the past couple of years in the development stages of their kit. We’ve been sent some of their cycling gear to see whether they have invested their money wisely.

Craft not only cater for cyclists, they also have ranges for the runners and skiers among us. All of their clothing is based around the Craft Principle – a simple three layer approach to optimum performance.

Perhaps best known for their base layers, or as Craft call it ‘layer one’, they also manufacture insulation (two) and protection (three) layers, covering all the products you would expect for road cyclists; from socks to bib shorts, right through to helmet liners and gloves.

We’re providing a first look into their clothing range for the uninitiated to the brand. Click through and see if there’s anything you fancy from this technical, affordable collection.
