ORNOT
NO ONE ELSE
We pioneered the first, and only, Micro Grid Jersey in 2020. Since then, its remained unique to us. Spend enough time around the team, and you’ll see this is far and away our favorite jersey. It’s so versatile that it’s basically two jerseys in one.

BORN IN THE BAY
To wear the Micro Grid Jersey is to understand what it’s like to ride bikes in the Bay Area. Climbs are hot and exposed, then rewarded with steep and fast descents through the Redwoods. It’s not unusual to take off and put on an outer layer for each climb/descent. The Micro Grid Jersey was made for the Bay.
FAQ

How does the Micro Grid Jersey fit?
The Micro Grid Jersey is true to size. This year we modernized the fit with slightly longer sleeves, and a touch more compression to take full advantage of the fabric benefits. We think it’s the best one yet.
Where is the Micro Grid Jersey made?
The Micro Grid Jersey is Made in USA. Specifically, we cut and sew it across the Bay in Oakland.
What does “Deadstock” Mean?
Deadstock is fabric that was overproduced, abandoned, or never made it to the cutting table. Instead of letting it sit in a warehouse (or worse), we turn it into something new. The catch? We only get one shot. One opportunity. Same Polartec Delta performance, lower environmental impact.
What is the “Special Projects” collection?
One of the most sustainable things we can do is use what already exists. Special Projects is our collection of limited-run pieces made from premium deadstock fabrics, cut and sewn in California. Some of our most beloved pieces were born this way. When they're gone, they're gone.
