Say it isn't so
Sombrio out of business?
this is what happens when you specialize in marketing an idea
and making really weird looking clothes…
I'd say a 15 year run of free ride mtn bike clothing line is pretty damn good.

how much did this cost? Simon will come in and buy everything for 10cents on the dollar.

So much ugly clothing, so little time.
I'm gonna guess their shoe venture was not the resounding success they hoped for.

Hey Heckler [HTML_REMOVED] Heckler's Better 1/2, here is your chance to replace the Westy.
I don't think the fact their sizing of clothing was off helped either. XXL clothing that fit like a large. Quality stank as well.

This.
Really like the fit of their 3/4 length jerseys and their T-Jerseys are decent as well. Most if not all of my shorts were Sombrio until I started wearing Nørrona Fjøra short. Wool socks are a decent
They've always made some pretty basic looking kit to do along with the bag'o skittles vomit colour ways that stand out the most
Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:

Too bad. I still wear one of their first run of shorts that I bought out of the back of Daves truck.

not saying that had bad stuff, I have my share
But in the last few years they got way off the track of what made them successful, and tried to break into being a mainstream, cross over clothing company. It was questionable if they were going to be able to do that. Outside of the Lower Mainland, and even the GVRD for that matter, they weren't anything distinct.
Look at their website this year, they didn't even have a sponsored rider section. They had a blog and an online store. And they put all their money into buying a truck to create content for their blog.
