Morvelo Overland clothing range review

Morvelo has looked to do cycling kit differently with its new Overland collection

Cycling Weekly Verdict

The Morvelo Overland kit is comfortable and practical, with technical fabrics, loads of pockets and subtle cycling features, while retaining a loose, relaxed look. So it’s as good for off-bike use as for riding, although the polyester fabric means that it does need to be washed frequently.

There’s a tendency to think that going for a cycle ride means kitting up in tight Lycra and all the gear. But the Morvelo Overland collection goes against this, providing technical clothing that’s casual looking and could be worn as well off the bike as on and for other sports too.

It’s a style that works well for bikepacking, for which Overland was initially conceived, where you probably don’t want to mooch around camp in Lycra. But Morvelo Overland kit would also pass muster in a less formal work environment or for casual dress for a trip out in the evening. And it means that you don’t need to cycle to work with a backpack of clothing to change into, making your commute more comfortable.
