Adaptable. Reliable. Capable. You could apply those words to the best gear for a number of different purposes, but in this case, that is the basis of Le Col’s new ARC Collection. As their first-ever gravel collection, Le Col states that ARC is a bold new direction for the brand. Instead of high-end road kit, ARC is still high-end, but more focused on exploring unknown roads, gravel, and dirt tracks.

Depending on your style, the ARC range has a little bit for everyone. The base fit starts with the ARC Cargo Bib Shorts, and then gives you the option of going baggy, or tight, or a combo of both.



The ARC Cargo Bib Shorts ($275) are packed with extra storage including two cargo pockets on the legs, and two rear pockets that tuck under the jersey. These allow a more secure pocket than most jersey pockets, or allow you to run a baggy shirt without any pockets over top. A premium chamois is included with a bamboo blend microfiber top sheet for durable comfort.
