Aero Tech Designs
Coraopolis, Pennsylvania 🇺🇸
Located in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, just outside of Pittsburgh, Aero Tech Designs is a premier manufacturer of high-performance cycling apparel. Founded by avid cyclist Cathy Schnaubelt Rogers, the company began with a simple but essential mission: to make cycling comfortable for every body. Today, Aero Tech Designs is a leader in the industry, known for its technical innovation and its unwavering support of American manufacturing.
Inclusive Performance and Technical Excellence
Aero Tech Designs sets itself apart through its commitment to inclusivity. While many athletic brands cater to a narrow demographic, Aero Tech specializes in a vast range of sizes—from XS to 5XL, including dedicated Big and Tall and Plus Size collections. This ensures that every cyclist, from the weekend warrior to the century rider, has access to gear that fits perfectly and performs under pressure.
Handcrafted in the USA: A significant portion of their catalog is designed, cut, and sewn in their Pennsylvania facilities. By keeping production local, they maintain strict quality control and support the regional economy.
The "Comfort" Philosophy: Every garment is engineered with technical fabrics and ergonomic padding (chamois) designed to eliminate chafing and maximize time in the saddle.
Decades of Expertise: With roots dating back to the 1980s, the team brings professional-grade experience to the recreational market, having previously manufactured gear for Olympic teams and world-class athletes.
A Legacy of Local Craftsmanship
Operating out of a historic warehouse in Coraopolis, Aero Tech Designs embodies the "blue-collar" spirit of the Pittsburgh region. They are more than just a retailer; they are a working factory where skilled local artisans transform raw technical materials into high-end jerseys, bib-shorts, and cold-weather gear. Their local presence allows them to innovate quickly, often moving a design from the sewing machine to the shipping dock in record time.
