Although the company name is Specialized Bicycle Components, the Big Red S is better known for its bikes than its parts. In recent years, Specialized shoes and helmets have earned their way to the top of many riders' lists, but clothing hasn't been the company's strong suit.
Recently, though, the clothing has improved markedly, thanks in no small part to apparel manager Peter Curran, a veteran of Burton and Pearl Izumi who came on board a few years ago. Here we take a look at a few new cool-weather pieces, plus some more casual around-town items from Specialized's new Utility line.
Specialized DriRelease Merino jerseys

Specialized's DriRelease Merino is a lightweight polyester/merino wool blend. The long sleeve jersey above and the short sleeve green jersey up top are both in the slightly relaxed RBX cut. (Specialized divides road clothing into SL race cut and RBX relaxed fit.) The material feels great against the skin, more like an old T-shirt than a sublimated jersey. It's thin and good on its own for cool days, or as an insulative layer on colder ones.
Regardless of cut, the DriRelease Merino jerseys come in a few natural tones: gray, green, blue, etc.
Reflective elements are stitched into the jerseys, and the zippered valuables pocket has a liner on the body-facing side to block sweat from your phone or cash.
