7mesh: new clothing company from Canada
Brand new and highly functional: At Eurobike, the newly founded clothing brand 7mesh is presenting its first small but fine collection. The focus: low weight and extremely bike-specific cuts.

7mesh are no newcomers to the clothing industry. The small team is made up of former Arcteryx employees and brings a lot of experience to the table.

7mesh is presenting its first bike collection at the trade fair. So far there are only a few items, mainly jackets, but they are all the more sophisticated for it. The highlight of the collection is the Revolution Jacket, which is available for men and women. The Canadians are the first manufacturer in the cycling sector to use the Gore-Tex Pro laminate for this robust rain jacket. Despite the 3-layer material, the Revolution Jacket remains surprisingly light. To ensure that the jacket adapts perfectly to the cyclist's specific posture, Squamish has opted for a very special cut. Diagonal threads run across the sleeves and shoulders and enable a perfect fit without using extra material or elastane. The Revolution Jacket also has a detachable hood that can be worn under the helmet and a clever design that makes it easier to hear around the ears. Other highlights include various ventilation openings and a drawstring system that does not require plastic clips. The price of the jacket, just like the materials used, is in the absolute high-end range.

Stefan Frey is from Lower Bavaria and loves the mossy, loamy trails of the Bavarian Forest as much as the rugged rock of the Dolomites. For technical descents, he is prepared to tackle almost any ascent - under his own steam. As an accessories specialist, he is the first port of call for questions about equipment and add-on parts, while as head of copywriting he sweeps the language crumbs from the pages of the BIKE print editions.
