Parker Dusseau Commuter Blazer 
Every time we get an email from Parker Dusseau we immediately want to buy its offerings. The Commuter Blazer is on our list: the material stretches, repels water and stains, it’s designed for riding, and it looks great once you lock up your bike. Pictured above.

Shinola Runwell

One of our go-to choices for daily commuting, the solid and stylish U.S.-made Shinola Runwell is now available in five colors, including red for 2015. If you are thinking about taking the plunge for daily (or at least weekend) commuting, the Runwell is a great choice.

Club Ride Rialto Jersey

When the mid-ride coffee is more important then the ride itself, getting kitted up in full tights might not be necessary. Club Ride’s Rialto offers an alternative. It features what they call a sport fit, tailored and slim, but not a traditional race cut or even sportive fit. The fabric is called RideXDry and is lightweight, breathes well and wicks moisture to the surface where it can dry quickly. It’s got a secure pocket for a cell phone and some cash plus a single pocket just right for a water bottle or flat repair gear. It’s vented and has a half zip so don’t be afraid to drop the hammer in the Rialto. It has UPF 20 sun protection plus subtle reflective accents to keep you visible when the sun does go down.
