Profile: Race Face Clothing

The 2009 line reflects our never ending quest to build the gear that helps you conquer those epic adventures and punishing rides. Our designers worked passionately this season, always conscious of the major contact points between the rider and the ride: the seat, the feet, and of course, the hands, resulting in a rider-focused, performance line. Highlights include the highly anticipated expansion of our award-winning armour program featuring new materials and aesthetics, an expanded short and Jersey program for both hard core and weekend riders, and the introduction of a women's-specific line that is aggressive yet feminine. With brand new products and revisions to old favorites, RaceFace proudly introduces our rider inspired 2009 collection.

The 2009 Below the Belt program returns with technical refinements to old favorites, and new, "oh gotta get me one" styles. Innovative features include strategic fabric mapping, venting, and discipline specific construction. Our new line features performance garments that seamlessly transition from grueling rides to trail building to bar stool.

In almost 15 years of doing business, Race Face has become a global leader in the design, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of high performance cycling components and apparel.

A short drive from the famous North Shore mountains, Race Face designs and tests its line of high performance products to excel in the world's most abusive riding environment. Our component line spans seven product categories, six component families and is sold in over 30 countries world wide. Our line of performance cycling apparel is worn by a discerning group of riders who value function as well as fashion.

Race Face sponsors a team of internationally recognized athletes and is the creator and driving force behind the Ultimate Freeride Challenge. Race Face sponsors various mountain bike films and events such as the New World Disorder series of Freeride films and the Bike Magazine Monster Park Slopestyle Invitational. Race Face is also a proud sponsor of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park - the world's premiere lift-accessed mountain bike park.

And behind all the product awards, strategic partnerships and innovative marketing campaigns is our staff - a group of dedicated individuals who take an enormous amount of pride in their work. From our design engineers to the folks boxing product, Race Face employees share the same passion for cycling as you. We think it shows in the quality of our products and the service we provide.
