Singletrack reviewed our bibs and loved that petrichor projects is founded by a women's with cycling and product experience. 

'petrichor projects is the brainchild of Claire Goodman, a Fashion Designer and mountain biker with a background in sportswear and technical clothing for some very well known brands. The PP002 Bib Shorts are designed for women, by a woman with a host of experience on a bike and a good idea of exactly what we need in a bib short.

I really wanted to start a technical brand, offering a wider size range, because I felt like there was a real gap in the market,” Goodman says. “A lot of brands don't put women first. I wanted to make sure that innovation was at the forefront.'
