Review: Capo Thermo-Roubaix LF Gloves | ATwistedSpoke.com, March 26, 2013

The Thermo-Roubaix LF gloves ($45) are Capo’s very stylish take on keeping your hands protected, insulated and firmly in control of your bike when the temps drop and the wind starts howling...

Road Tested: Beat the Spring Chill | Triathlete, March 11, 2013

Capo is a California company that follows the Italian rules when it comes to cycling style and innovation. The SC-12 is their medium weight winter tight, and we found them to be a reliably warm and comfortable option on those ‘in-between’ days where finding the right balance of insulation and breathability can be challenging. The tights feature zippered ankle openings and fly, which are thoughtful additions that improve the SC-12’s comfort and wearability. The fit is racer-inspired, so we suggest going up a size, especially if you are still working to shed those extra pounds gained during the winter. The chamois used in the SC-12 was comfortable and provided enough padding for even a long 5-hour day in the saddle. The combination of Super-Roubaix and Thermo Roubaix fabrics are masterfully combined and used in all of the right places and led to a bib tight that was one of our favorite pieces of clothing in the entire test.

What are you personally lusting after right now? "Capo Country Kits"

"How am I supposed to choose?" McGuckin said. "Right now I would love to be riding a new Ridley Helium SL on the roads, an Intense Hard Eddie on the trails and doing all of it while wearing a country kit that Capo made exclusively for us."

Road Tested: Winter Cycling Tops | Triathlon.com, January 17, 2013

While the Capo Pursuit Thermal Jacket appears to be little more than a long sleeved thermal jersey, there is so, so much more to this piece. To start, the Pursuit has many of the features that we generally look for in a standard outer layer—three rear pockets, a high neck and a performance cut that allows for a perfect fit while riding. The front of the jacket is a multi-layer Brick windproof membrane, which not only protected from cold temperatures, but also blocked a surprising amount of wind. The rear of the jacket, as one would hope, is a much thinner fleece that allowed for excellent temperature regulation and overall breathability. All these features add up to the holy grail of winter cycling apparel: warmth without bulk. The functionally sporty fit still allows the piece to easily be layered with other clothing, making it a virtual must-have in any triathlete’s winter clothing collection.

BikeRadar's best gear of 2012 | BikeRadar.com, January 03, 2013

5. BikeRadar Capo kit
BikeRadar staff had a bunch of clothing made by Capo and I have to say it's brilliant. Shorts, short and long sleeve jerseys, skinsuits, winter jackets and a gilet that doesn't double as a parachute. I wear it most days because it's comfortable, well suited to whatever conditions I ride in and is as durable as any other top level kit I've used

New Winter Road Riding Gear | Outside Magazine, December 13, 2012

You'd think that all pieces to go under a jersey would be about equal—and you'd be wrong. Capo's Torino 3D combines extremely simple tailoring—there are seams only at the sleeves to prevent binding with top layers or rubbing on your skin—with a seriously techy polypropolene fabric called Dryarn that's lightweight but warm, totally stretchy, and literally pulls moisture off the skin so it can dry and vent through top layers.

Fall-Winter Essential Reviw: Capo's Roubaix Knee Warmers | BikeRumor.com, November 28, 2012

Pre-formed from several pieces of hollow-core Roubaix fabric into a knee-like bend, Capo have nailed the warmers’ fit. Despite the numerous seams, none cross the knee or make themselves known while pedaling. Sewn-in reflective tabs at the calf add a measure of security at dawn and dusk. Black, red, and white versions are available in two sizes (S/M and L/XL) and stitched together right here in the USA...
