Active & Travel Fashion by Bago Studio

Active wear the looks like every day fashion!

No one likes bicycle lycra, especially not Bicycle Babes, but I have to admit it is kinda comfy!

Lucky we have Bicycle Babes like Bago Studio designer, Kellie Mobbs, who has a mission is to create beautiful active wear and lifestyle fashion for Bicycle Babes, adventurers and travelers alike.

Lycra is it not, but she uses super strechy high-performance fabrics including bamboo, wicking polyester and liquid titanium PET to craft stylish fashion for active outtings, adventure expeditions and every day bicycle travels.

I tested out a sample skirt from Bago and here’s how is shapes up:
The Good
1. Adjustable waist – while riding a bicycle the waistline of your jeans or skirt makes a massive difference. Personally I find low wasited garments the most comfortable by bicycle, but I like to wear high-waited skirts. This skirt has the very clever addition of an adjustable draw cord so you can wear it at whatever waist level you like!

2. Fabric weight – the fabric used (57% Tax Bamboo and 43% Wicking Polyester) is the perfect bicycle skirt weight, it doesn’t get easily whipped up in the wind. I still recommend wearing a skirt clip.

3. Performance fabric – Bago Studio designs use high-tech fabrics that are breathable, fast drying and don’t need any ironing. What a breeze!

4. Pocket – there is nothing more annoying than having no pockets. This skirt along with Bago Studio’s other active wear include a secure zip pocket.

5. Ethical – Bago Studio clothing is sweat shop free!
The Bad
1. Insulation – the one downside to performance fabrics is they don’t provide much insulation. On a bicycle polyester and other non-natural fabrics are rather breezy.

2. Odour – body odour is rarely a problem for Bicycle Babes who prefer style over speed, but non-natural fibres have a tendancy to cause the skin to sweat more than natural fabrics. Bago Studio use odor-resistant fabrics.
The Ugly
Bago Studio make it their business to design beautiful fabrics, so you are sure to find something that takes your fancy!
