Levi’s is a company that goes back 132 years. The fact that the Levi's logo features horses, not bikes, offers a good clue (if you needed one) that the brand's Commuter collection has nowhere near that depth of heritage – in fact, it first launched for men in 2011.
What the Commuter collection does is signal cycling's growing mainstream appeal both in the lifestyle market and as a form of transport. Our Australian crew have been trying out a selection of garments from the current range, which now extends to women’s apparel. We'll be publishing full reviews of some of them over the next few weeks, but for now, let's take a look at the highlights.
Clever tweaks
The collection as a whole is remarkably clever. In addition to some bike specific pieces, Levi’s has taken popular items from its broader range and effectively worked in extra functionality for riding around town.

The pants have reflective tabs near the ankles and a high waist so you don’t reveal more than you mean to when reaching for the bars, and they’re designed to withstand the strain on fabric provided by riding.
