Welcome to Lab-Gear: workshop
We've been designing and making bespoke gear for urban and bike life in Sydney, Australia since 2001.
Our mission is to create gear from the finest materials available such as Australian grown and produced Superfine Merino, Swiss made zippers and German spun threads.
We aim to make gear you'll love, not just 'buy'.

The Marathon Bibs have been refined over the past 10 years, long before the term 'compression' was being used to define quality riding gear.
Our bibs use the best materials, an anatomic panel cut to create something our customers have raved about for years.

Specially designed for shorts wearing mountain bikers, the U-Bibs take all the key features of the Marathon Bibs and add a lower profile, cooler cut, mated with lightweight Merino mesh panels for additional thermal control.
