RideWrap Announces Details for Production Facility in the UK
PRESS RELEASE: RideWrap
We love a good portmanteau as much as the next person. But, to be honest, Brexit introduced more than a few challenges to doing business in the UK. VAT, duties, slow delivery times, etc. To navigate those challenges and to make life easier for riders in the UK, RideWrap opened a production facility in the UK.
We are excited to announce the expansion of RideWrap's operations to include local production based in the UK. With this addition, we can support riders across the UK with bike protection components produced in their backyards that get to their doors fast and hassle-free.

I take it they have never visited the UK then?
The process is the same, the material feels the same, the only difference for me was that RideWrap feels a bit more polished with their packaging and fitting kit but then it comes at a similar price for a generic fit.
All in all, it's just nice to have another option
Our kit comes fully stocked with the squeegee, microfiber, cleaning wipes, and install juice you need to get the job done, just acquire a spray bottle from underneath your sink.
From a design standpoint, we developed our in-house design tech to provide high coverage all over the frame, among others, spots like the inner chainstay and seatstay are fully covered.
Our pricing is consistent for any model/size of our Tailored Protection™ kits... you wouldn't want to pay more for an XXL t-shirt?
Our films are developed in-house specifically for bikes, not cars.
If you are not into a model/size-specific option - as @RadBikeBro mentioned, we've got a ton of universal fit products designed around your coverage and frame style needs.
