La Caravane Distance Tee Upcycle
Our UpCycle Program is a way to give our apparel a second chance and helps to reduce waste by keeping our kit out of landfills. By upcycling, we’re giving our kit a second life, reducing the demand for new resources, and reducing our environmental impact.
• Products that have slightly damaged in transit from our factory or gently tried on items are identified by our team.
• We thoroughly clean and refresh each piece, restoring to factory conditions.
• Every item is expertly ironed, prepped and finished, ready to begin its new life in style.
• Upcycle products are final sale. Sorry no returns or exchanges.
• Some products may have minor imperfections
La Caravane (The Caravan) is the parade created by and for race sponsors that goes off two hours ahead of the riders in the Tour De France. It was founded in 1930, conjured up by Tour founder Henri Desgrange. Conceived originally as a way to pay for the organizer-supplied bicycles that riders had to use at the time. Behind the riders, there is a retinue of team support cars, motorcycles for spares, filming, and race officials. It's like a whole circus and major sporting event operations crew on wheels. La Caravane celebrates the spectacle of the caravan, highlighting some classic vehicles from cycling's golden age.
Made in Italy, with one zippered pocket on the back.
Details
Sometimes a skin-tight jersey is not what you want. But a Tee shirt will get soggy with sweat - it doesn't wick moisture and will not allow your torso to stay cool because it doesn't breathe like modern technical jersey fabrics. Enter the Distance Tee: it fits like a tee shirt, has a hidden back pocket, and is made with top-tier Italian performance fabric. Pair it with Camper Cargo bibs for your gravel and adventure rides, or with Podium Shorts for your casual days. Either way, you will always come correct - on and off the bike.Made in Italy, with one zippered pocket on the back.

Italian Craftsmanship
Our Italian manufacturing partners sit at the base of the Medieval foothills of Tuscany, about halfway between Florence and Pisa. This small factory, founded by two friends Vincenzo and Franco over forty years ago, is one of the last that is still family-owned and operated, with two generations of craftsmen working and riding side-by-side every day.
Crafted in a small family-run factory with generations of experience, where time-honored craftsmanship meets modern testing and precision to ensure every piece is built to last.
Luca works the cutting machine.
Even with the most modern fabrics, the best sportswear is still manufactured in small batches using traditional craftsmanship. Keeping quantities low allows the focus to remain on quality.
