Sombrio Launches 2018 Collection & International Shipping

PRESS RELEASE: Sombrio

For two decades, Sombrio has been designing and testing mountain bike gear on Vancouver's North Shore. The 2018 Sombrio collection, backed by a Lifetime Guarantee, highlights durability through lightweight fabrics with added mobility, comfort, and protection from the elements while drawing graphic inspiration from the loam and its elusive ecosystem. From the critters who roam in the loam, to what lies beneath the surface, the 2018 collection is an intimate interpretation of trail life in Sombrio's backyard.

Sombrio is also stoked to announce international direct shipping coming this Summer. Direct shipping is currently available for Australia, New Zealand and the UK, with more countries across Europe rolling out in the coming weeks.

For 2018, Sombrio has introduced fresh silhouettes to the Freeride lineup with the Men's Chaos Jersey and Women's Alder Jersey. Both are made from silky smooth Cool Wik fabric that wicks moisture away from the body and has an anti-microbial treatment to help keep the stink away. Sombrio has also introduced a new Women's Freeride short inspired by the Men's Badass Shorts called the Rebel. The new Rebel Shorts offer 4-way stretch and a slightly longer length in the front to deliver mobility and knee pad coverage without the bulk behind your knee.





The Chaos and Alder jerseys also come in special edition graphics as part of Sombrio's Second Decade Collection which celebrates their 20th anniversary and includes the Men's Second Decade Chaos Jersey and Second Decade Tee, as well as the Women's Second Decade Alder Jersey and Women's Second Decade Tee. The entire collection comes with a 20th anniversary canvas patch and a portion of proceeds on all Canadian sales supports IMBA Canada's Sombrio Freeride Scholarship, awarding a young athlete an all expenses paid trip to a summer mountain bike camp in Whistler, BC.

The Ridgeline Jersey in Grizzly Camo is made from Chill Mesh which uses Xylitol (just like the stuff in mint gum!) which reacts with your sweat to keep you feeling cool on hot summer days and is part of Sombrio's Mullet Collection–business in the front with solid colors and party in the back with wild prints!





The Smuggle Liner Collection has expanded to offer both a Men's and Women's liner and bib liner short. All Sombrio liner shorts now come standard with enough storage for all your ride essentials, a premium Formula FX chamois featuring Poron memory foam for ultimate vibration dampening and a 60-day comfort guarantee so if you're not completely stoked, you can return them within 60 days!

The Women's Luxe Bib Liner also features Sombrio's unique Pit Stop Technology–simply pull down the super stretchy shoulder straps for easy nature breaks without removing all your layers.




Sombrio has redesigned their windbreakers to introduce the Men's Squall 2 Jacket and Women's Chinook 2 Jacket. These lightweight, minimalist wind shells are made from an durable stretchy fabric designed to block out the wind and let you breath while riding for ultimate temperature regulation on cooler days.



Sombrio also offers a Grom's Collection of durable gear for pint-sized shredders, all covered by their Lifetime Guarantee. New for 2018 is the Grom's L/S Chaos Jersey available in Grizzly Camo and the Grom's Badass Shorts available in Amazon and Black.
