36 Hours in Kitsbow: Petaluma to Marin

At Kitsbow we strive to fit it all in: work, family, and fun. But when it feels like adventure is something others do, it's time to hit pause. Then eject. Because adventure is just outside our door, maybe even a short train ride away. The key is to go.

Kitsbow Basics: Don’t Call it a Hat

Ever since former Bicycling magazine editor-in-chief, Bill Strickland, put bicyclists on notice with the hashtag #capsnothats, a movement has been bubbling online (and more importantly, off) to bring the cycling cap back to prominence.

What does it mean to be obsessive? What drives the insistence on having the very best? We sat down with Zander Nosler — the founder behind Kitsbow, to pick his brain on the origins of obsessiveness; what it takes to create the perfect mountain biking short, and the very mindset...

Why Merino Wool?

Kitsbow is not a “wool brand.” We don’t exist to extol the virtues of a single fabric, because it might be popular or sought-after. We are obsessed with finding the right tool for the job, in the right applications. And for over half our All Mountain Collection, Merino wool makes...

Join The Obsessives – Kitsbow Mountain Bike Wear

It’s not just our mantra, not just a slogan behind which we’ve deemed fit to stand. We truly are obsessives. And we are proud to create mountain bike apparel for fellow obsessives. We believe that to be an obsessive, it takes more than just losing sleep over wheel diameters, head...

Year One: Just the Beginning

The Metaphor of a Startup

It's the story against which all other metaphors are made. The starting of a new business. The pushing of the big green button (or the throwing of a small red lever -- whichever visual you prefer). Well this isn't 'like' starting a new business, because we are starting a new...
