Hey Alto Velo,
We are well into our second season of sporting the eye-catching orange-to-navy fade kits from Eliel, and I wanted to share my experience with what I consider the all-around best kit in my cycling wardrobe.

Based in California, Eliel’s goal is simple - they want you to look and feel great on every ride. With a focus on engineering and rigorous testing, their apparel is designed with an eye for detail that combines form, function and style.
After a season wearing the Laguna Seca bibs, Solana jersey, Palomar vest, and team socks, my experience absolutely lives up to the marketing hype.
I am extremely picky about the bibs I wear, because if they aren’t right, you’re going to have a bad time. As a guy that wears size XS or S everything, I often struggle with excess fabric in uncomfortable areas. The Laguna Seca bibs are tight but flexible, and offer compression that doesn’t feel constricting. I also think that the chamois is dense and reliably comfortable for even the longest days in the saddle.
For bay area summers, the combination of the Solana Jersey and Palomar vest keeps me comfortable through fluctuating temperatures. I especially like the long-ish sleeves on the jersey, which you forget you’re wearing the minute you put it on. I also appreciate the little things, like the outer zipper pocket to hold some cash for emergencies.
And while function is my primary motivation, the style of the AV kits is striking. They stand out in a crowded field in local races and group rides alike, and look even better when our photographer friends capture us mid-ride.
TL;DR, if my dresser is full of freshly cleaned kits, I will choose the Eliel branded apparel 10 times out of 10.
