OUR STORY

American made
since 1986.

Voler Cycling Apparel

Founded in 1986, in San Luis Obispo, California, what began as a small operation producing windsurfing bags and cycling helmet covers quickly morphed into creating top-notch custom cycling apparel for teams, events, and other cycling brands. In 1996 Voler moved to Grover Beach (15 minutes south of SLO) and ramped up production in a much larger facility. To meet demand the facility was expanded in 1999, and Velowear.com was launched. At the time, Velowear was one of the first direct to consumer cycling apparel specific websites.

Decades of Innovation

Voler made major investments in new technology in the 2000's. The Custom Express program launched in 2002, allowing cyclist to get custom jerseys in under a week. The Voler Online Ordering System (VOOS) was created in 2007, allowing team coordinators to easily collect orders and payments from their members. Way Back in the early 1990's Voler was the first custom cycling apparel manufacturer to offer all-inclusive pricing with a full-service art department (and still does). The print department was overhauled with digital sublimation printers in 2010, allowing infinite colors and lower order minimums.

In 2021 Voler is launching a new line of endurance apparel, targeting ultra-runners, long distance triathletes, and adventure racers looking for the same quality they expect from Voler in their cycling apparel. Through all this innovation, one aspect of the business that has remained the same, is Voler's commitment to Excellent Customer service.
