Inside the Holiday Recovery Collection: Built for Rest

After months of training, racing, and pushing limits, true strength is rebuilt in recovery. That idea inspired our new and very special Holiday Recovery Collection—a limited drop designed for the hours that restore your body and mind.

We spoke with Matt L., our Lifestyle-Collection Manager, to learn more about the intention behind this collection, the design process, and how comfort plays a crucial role in performance longevity.

Where did the idea for the Holiday Recovery Collection come from, and what was the intention behind it?

Matt: Autumn is that time of year when many athletes slow down—races are wrapping up, and recovery becomes the focus. We wanted to offer pieces that support that transition, products athletes would love just as much as their performance gear.

Most of what we create is about performance: moisture management, wind protection, aerodynamics. But athletes actually spend more time off the bike or off the trail than on it. Recovery is a huge part of improving performance and the faster and deeper an athlete can recover, the more they are able to build strength or endurance. This collection is our way of supporting that effort.

Which products are we launching, and what was the design process like?

Matt: This line was a natural extension for us. Just as we do for every product we make, we sought to understand the challenges and needs of athletes and approached the development with the same precision we bring to our performance collections.

Every piece had to serve a purpose—only this time, that purpose was comfort with intent. Warmth, softness, and freedom of movement were the guiding principles. We used plush fleece, soft felt, and relaxed fits that let your body breathe and unwind.

Here’s what makes each piece special:

Fleece Jogger

Classic mid-weight fleece joggers made from a soft cotton-poly blend (65% cotton, 35% polyester). The brushed interior delivers next-to-skin comfort, while the wide elastic waistband and ankle cuffs ensure a relaxed, stay-put fit. Two low-profile pockets sit seamlessly at the sides. Ideal for staying warm and loose before or after a ride—or just taking it slow.

Slipper Sock

Part sock, part slipper—100% recovery comfort. The super-plush fleece interior hugs your feet, while the roomy fit adapts naturally to different shapes without constriction. Rubber grips on the sole prevent slipping, and a back pull tab makes them easy to slide on. After tough sessions, this is instant relief for tired feet.

Outdoor Slipper

Designed for comfort beyond home. The warm felt upper, soft, waterproof rubber sole, and fleece-lined footbed deliver structure, protection, and warmth. The honeycomb foam cushioning adds a plush layer underfoot—perfect for coffee runs, post-ride meetups, or slow mornings outside.

Transition Blanket

One side soft fleece for next-to-skin comfort, the other a tightly woven fabric with a DWR finish for protection against damp or cold surfaces. Use it for post-run stretching, at the car after training, or as an outdoor wrap on chilly days. Durable, heavyweight, and versatile—it’s the blanket you’ll always keep in your car.

What’s the intended outfit—how do you wear the pieces together?

The idea was to create a kit that works together seamlessly, whether you’re indoors or outdoors.

For at-home recovery, the Fleece Jogger, Fracture Logo Tee, Hoodie, and Slipper Sock make the perfect combination—soft, warm, and made for downtime.

When you step off the bike, or unlace your shoes, you can immediately gear up for recovery with the Outdoor Slippers and Transition Blanket to bring that same warmth and comfort to wherever you’re training. Add the Gear Duffle for your training essentials, and you’re ready to move from effort to ease.

For cooler conditions, we recommend completing the setup with headwear like the ID Beanie or Cap, Essential socks, and the Lupra GORE-TEX Jacket—it ties everything together for an effortless recovery look.

How exclusive is the collection, and will it be back next year?

Matt: This drop is truly limited and won’t return anytime soon. We wanted it to feel special—like a small reward at the end of a long season. So grab our recovery gear while you can.

Warmth. Rest. Reset.

This is not just comfort—it’s preparation.

It’s performance, reimagined.

It’s recovery mode.
