Spectrum Techwear announces new cape line-up for 2008

March 18, 2008

Published by SpecTech


Pacific Northwest clothing company, Spectrum Techwear, announces the starting lineup of the cape collection for 2008.

We at Spectrum Techwear are happy to announce our new line of riding capes for 2008. Aimed at riders trying to find the ultimax in simplicity, our capes are stylish, rugged, and lightweight.


the all new Flight Control cape

The Flight Control, above, is specced with waterproof/breathable SpecTex FDR5000d-ish and offers fully independent thermo cloaking abilities. The dual bilateral extrusion baffles keep crud away from your chamois, while the plastisol impregnated exoskeleton keeps the cape rigid enough to gain 16 nanoseconds longer average flight duration.


Patented 1/12 (pronounced "one-dozenth") zip collar for quick yet secure entry/exit


The heart of the plastisol impregnated exoskeleton

For now, the Flight Control is the only available model, and will retail at a very reasonable $325. The future does hold more though, as we are currently testing our prototype Wayfarer XC and Duh-Huh DH model capes.

Organic wool with urea coating drop tail? CLASSIC. Don't get too much urea on there though.. you'll develop the gout and that slows you down.

DAMNITT!!!! I knew I should have ran with this idea when I had thought of it. I was just talking with a friend about how "untapped" the MTB cape market was. Next someones gonna make a clear full face helmet, wait a minute a clear full face..............

Well ya, If you've ever actually read the books you'll know about that part where frodo does a sick tailwhip over a bunch of goblins. But Peter Jackson is a douche and left it out of the movie.
