Voler Apparel: Technical Cycling Gear, Built in Grover Beach, CA
Founded in 1986, Voler Apparel is an independent manufacturer of technical cycling clothing based in Grover Beach, California. Operating from California's Central Coast, the company began as a screen printing business for promotional products before transitioning into a fully vertically integrated manufacturer of high-performance cycling jerseys, bib shorts, skinsuits, and outerwear.
While much of the technical athletic apparel industry moved production overseas, Voler maintained its commitment to American manufacturing. By operating its primary factory on California's Central Coast, the company retains direct control over pattern drafting, digital dye-sublimation printing, cutting, sewing, and quality assurance.
Core Pillars & Manufacturing Principles
Central Coast California Factory: Design, pattern making, digital printing, precision cutting, and sewing are executed under one roof at their Grover Beach facility.
Vertical Integration & Custom Program: Voler handles both retail collections and custom team apparel in-house, utilizing digital dye-sublimation printing to embed long-lasting graphics directly into technical synthetic fibers.
Technical Fabric Sourcing: The brand partners with premier domestic and international textile mills to source high-wicking, breathable, and UPF sun-protective knits engineered specifically for endurance cycling.
Ergonomic Construction: Garments feature multi-panel anatomical cuts, flatlock stitching to prevent chafing, high-density Italian chamois pads, and silicone leg grippers tailored for road, gravel, and mountain biking.
By anchoring its manufacturing operations in Grover Beach, Voler Apparel demonstrates how large-scale, high-performance cycling apparel can be crafted in the United States.
