KOMMUTE Line of Bicycle Jackets
KOMMUTE is a specially-designed line of apparel and bags that embraces functionality along with style. Technical design and cuts, fabrics, and trimmings are emphasized to provide comfort and protection from the harsh conditions of the urban lifestyle. Equipped to tackle the city’s swath of bicycle lanes, bus routes, and subway lines, KOMMUTE challenges you to forgo the automobile and to “move freely”.
KOMMUTE Launch Campaign
The KOMMUTE Line initially came in 2 colorways black and ash grey and 2 different styles to choose from. The Storm Collar Zipper Hoodie was a zip-up fleece jacket with a high velcro collar and a hood. The Storm Collar Pullover Jacket featured a sweatshirt-style design with a button-up high collar. Both had similar features.
KOMMUTE Storm Collar Pullover Jacket (men/women)
This style came with red or black accessories. The button for the women line featured a Chinese “qipao-style button”.
Updated KOMMUTE Line
The slightly updated and improved line featured better quality materials and improved features. Only available in back with red accents.
