Why Ornot

READY ORNOT

We’re a small company focused on sustainability, domestic manufacturing, and having fun on our bikes. When Matt (the guy above) started Ornot in 2013, massive logos and team kits were the norm (ask him about his last team kit). We made it our goal to change the landscape by offering well designed cycling clothing, made in right here in California, that doesn't break your wallet.

Since then our main focus has been sustainability with an aim to reduce our carbon impact. You’ll find that most of our packaging is either recycled or compostable. Much of our fabric includes certified and traceable recycled or natural fibers from trusted partners like Polartec. Our warehouse, just a 45 min ride from SF and just 10 minutes from one of our sewing facilities is also Climate Neutral Certified, just like us. You could do business the old way, Ornot.

CLIMATE NEUTRAL

Making things creates carbon, from production to shipping and beyond. We’re excited to move into our second year as a Climate Neutral Certified brand. Not only have we offset our entire carbon footprint since 2019 with carbon credits, but we also work aggressively towards minimizing our carbon output with every decision. We could all be part of the solution, Ornot.

1% FOR THE PLANET

1% of all sales are donated to approved nonprofit organizations committed to protecting the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the world we play in. 1% For the Planet ensures that giving goes directly to highly vetted environmental nonprofit organizations to make the most impact possible.

We use recycled mailers for shipping. Our main sewing partner utilizes solar power for production and our fabric supplier, Polartec, has committed to transition to 100% recycled materials and biodegradability. This year we have expanded our recycled fabric content across multiple products and we continue to develop with this in mind.

MADE IN THE U.S.A.

Almost all of our clothing is made the USA (mostly California!). We work closely with our sewing partners to ensure a quality product and a responsible manufacturing process. Having our production close also helps reduce our footprint. Domestic production is important to us and much harder than producing overseas. It also costs more - but we think it’s the right thing to do with regard to jobs, sustainability and our local communities.

YOU COULD RIDE TODAY, ORNOT.

Racing, commuting, cruising or crushing - it’s all about people and the experiences. Bikes are fun, and we don’t take it too seriously.

YOU COULD BE A ROLLING BILLBOARD, ORNOT.

You shouldn’t have to pay a bunch of money for clothing that advertises itself. We like to make gear that keeps the focus on the ride, not the logo on your chest.
