We all first and foremost are cycling enthusiasts. Some of us like to ride fast, some never go on a ride without a camera slung over one shoulder. Some keep close track of power numbers, some don’t even ride with a computer.
Even if some rides we feel great and some rides suck, riding a bike is deeply tied in with what makes us happy. That’s what we try to convey with our products at Isadore: cycling is just about the pleasure riding a bike, staying healthy, and being good to people and the environment.
Isadore is an unconventional company because its founders are unconventional. Martin and Peter Velits succeeded in going pro though they come from a non-cycling country. They throw that the same adventurous, daredevil attitude into the spirit of the company.

How we work
We believe that every piece of clothing should resolve the cyclists’ daily problems.
We are creating cycling apparel for better and enjoyable cycling experiences.
Our design process starts with a simple series of questions
- How can we develop a piece of clothing that will remain your favorite season after season?
- How can we be innovative in designing clothing that can be used in new ways?
- How can we anticipate what will be needed in seasons to come?
- How can we make our clothes in an even more sustainable way?
Examples of how we work
Consciously trying to do the best for people
Sustainable production close to home
From our very earliest production runs, we have been focusing on using textile factories in our home region of Slovakia.
As the company has grown and production has expanded, we have been careful to partner with factories primarily in Europe to minimize our carbon footprint.
Not only that, but we are determined to use factories that work within the OEKO-TEX® and bluesign® international standards to ensure all Isadore products are sustainably made in a safe working environment.

Get to know who made your clothes
We love the fact that we know many of our factory workers personally. We know that they work in safe conditions and receive a proper European living wage.
Accountability is an important step to encourage brands to take responsibility for the impact they are making on lives and the environment.
We are in favor of any and all initiatives that are designed to ensure greater workplace safety and financial security for factory workers around the world.
Our charitable initiatives
For a healthy planet to ride on
Even the most adventurous of us are in no position to reserve a ticket on the first flight to Mars. Like the saying goes, there is no planet B. So we have to work together to reverse the damage humans have already done to the Earth. We are always looking for new ways to reduce our carbon footprint.
