The best cycling apparel should disappear the moment you start riding. It should move with you, regulate your temperature, carry everything you need and leave you focused on the trail ahead—not thinking about uncomfortable seams, overheating or poor-fitting jerseys.
That philosophy has driven the development of the new GRVL Women's Collection '26.
Rather than simply resizing a men's jersey and calling it a women's range, we started from the ground up. Every panel, fabric choice, pocket placement and fit has been developed specifically for female gravel riders who demand performance without compromising comfort or style.
The result is our most technically advanced women's collection—designed for long days exploring remote trails, bikepacking adventures, racing and everything in between.
Designed Around Real Gravel Riders
Gravel riding is different.
A typical gravel ride might include six hours in the saddle, changing weather, café stops, hike-a-bike sections, rough terrain, boulders, roots, mud, dust and countless hours carrying food, tools and extra layers.
The new GRVL Women's Collection was developed to solve those problems while maintaining the clean, understated aesthetic that has become synonymous with GRVL.
Every garment has been tested across countless kilometres of varied gravel, from fast summer rides to endurance adventures, ensuring the collection performs in real-world conditions—not just inside a design studio.
Female-Specific Fit
One of the biggest priorities during development was achieving the perfect women's fit.
The collection has been designed around the female riding position, allowing unrestricted movement whether climbing steep gradients, descending technical tracks or spending hours on the hoods.
The jersey’s contours naturally to the body without feeling restrictive. Longer sleeve lengths improve aerodynamics while providing additional sun protection, and carefully positioned panels eliminate unnecessary bunching around the shoulders and waist.
Laser cut sleeve hems provide a clean finish that remove the sausage arm that traditional jerseys create when they stitch the sleeve hem.
The Women’s Gravel Bib Shorts have been engineered with a female gravel riders needs in mind. The mesh torso section removes uncomfortable straps around the breast and provides support and a fast-wicking, integrated baselayer.
The traditional bib straps have been removed from the shoulders and instead replaced with a halter neck to make comfort breaks easier, allowing riders faster access without needing to remove jerseys.
The chamois is a female specific pad, developed with Elastic Interface who produce the finest chamois pads in the world. The pad used in the gravel bibs provides maximum comfort for long days in the saddle.
A similar laser cut hem has been used with silicon printed to the inside of the shorts to keep the legs in place. This quality attention to detail eliminates “sausage leg” that traditional bib shorts have by stitching elastic gripper, creating unflattering bulges.
The result is a jersey and bib that feels almost invisible once you're riding.
Comfort isn't an afterthought—it's the starting point.
Advanced Fabric Technology
At the heart of the new CORE & ADVNTR Jersey is an entirely new generation of technical performance fabric.
Every material has been selected to perform across a huge range of temperatures while remaining exceptionally lightweight.
The fabric delivers:
- Outstanding moisture management to keep riders dry during high-intensity efforts.
- Rapid drying performance after climbs or sudden rain showers.
- Four-way stretch that moves naturally with every pedal stroke.
- Exceptional breathability for all-day comfort.
- A luxuriously soft next-to-skin feel that avoids irritation on longer rides.
The outer surface has been engineered to remain durable while the internal construction actively transports moisture away from the body, helping regulate temperature even during demanding efforts.
This creates a jersey that feels cool during hot summer climbs but continues to provide comfort when temperatures begin to fall.
It's exactly what gravel riders need—one jersey capable of handling changing conditions without compromise.
Consciously Crafted
Performance means very little if it comes at the expense of the places we ride.
Protecting the trails that inspire us has always been central to GRVL.
The Women's Collection continues our commitment to using sustainable and biodegradable materials wherever possible, helping reduce the long-term environmental impact of premium cycling apparel. Many of the fabrics have been developed to biodegrade significantly faster than conventional synthetic textiles while maintaining the performance expected from technical cycling clothing.
Sustainability isn't simply about recycled packaging or carbon offsetting.
It starts with creating high quality, long lasting products riders genuinely want to keep wearing season after season.
The longer a garment lasts, the lower its environmental footprint becomes.
Built for Long Days
One of the biggest compliments any piece of cycling clothing can receive is that you forget you're wearing it.
Throughout development, the focus remained firmly on comfort over distance.
Flatlock seams minimise pressure points, while the carefully balanced stretch allows complete freedom of movement without excess material flapping in the wind.
Storage has also been refined. Jerseys have 3 cargo pockets on the back of the jersey and the bibs also have 3 pockets, 1 on each leg and a larger stuff pocket on the back of the bibs for storing a tool bag or jacket.
Every detail serves a purpose. Nothing is included simply for appearance.
A New Direction in Women's Gravel Apparel
The new Women's Collection also reflects how gravel riding itself has evolved.
Today's gravel riders aren't choosing between road and mountain bike clothing.
They're looking for something specifically designed for the unique demands of gravel and want to identify as a graveller. The styling reflects this mindset.
Soft natural colour palettes, premium finishes and subtle branding create apparel that feels equally at home on remote forest tracks or stopping for coffee after the ride.
It's technical enough for racing while remaining understated enough for everyday adventures.
Designed to Perform, Styled to Last
Premium cycling apparel should never chase short-term fashion. Instead, it should be timeless.
The Blush colourway of the ADVNTR Jersey brings a modern, understated aesthetic that pairs effortlessly with the rest of the GRVL collection while remaining distinctive on the trail.
Combined with premium trims, precision construction and carefully considered detailing, every garment has been created to look as good after hundreds of rides as it did on day one.
Performance Riders Can Feel
Independent reviewers have consistently praised GRVL apparel for its outstanding comfort, premium construction and ability to perform over long distances. Particular attention has been given to the refined fit, breathable fabrics and high-quality finish that distinguish the collection from traditional road cycling kit.
Those qualities are the result of countless design decisions made throughout the development process.
Every fabric was chosen for a reason.
Every seam exists for a purpose.
Every feature has been tested by riders who understand what makes gravel riding unique.
