New York-based "Search and State" perfectly embodies the phrase, "Simple is best."
While ornamentation is kept to a minimum, their apparel still manages to look incredibly cool through a meticulous focus on details that aren't immediately obvious at a glance—the texture of the fabric, the selection of components, and the stitching. Beyond their appearance, these items offer exceptionally high performance. By utilizing high-quality fabrics produced within the United States and manufacturing them in a New York factory, they maintain a simple and beautiful style in their craftsmanship.
SAS apparel is back in stock! This time, new colors have been added to our jacket and bib short lineup.
S1J RidingJacket Sand Stone ¥34,800 (excl. tax)
This jacket is made from a stretchy fabric that is waterproof, windproof, and highly breathable. While previously only available in Black, a refreshing new color called Sand Stone has joined the lineup.
While you may not need it for intense rides in the coming season, it serves as a great rain jacket for the rainy season or as a shell during winter, making it a versatile three-season piece. The waterproof film utilizes Swiss-made Schoeller "C-Change" material, which adapts its breathability (the fabric expands and contracts) based on the moisture released by your body. This allows it to dissipate heat during warm rides or climbs, while effectively shutting out the wind on cold days or during mountain descents.
Another notable feature is the zipper. SAS uses zippers from riri, and in this case, they've adopted the water-resistant model frequently seen on outdoor gear. It’s also a double-zip, a rarity in cycling apparel. It is both functional and highly durable.
Naturally, our bib shorts are also part of the lineup.
In addition to Black, Navy is now available.
S1S Bibshort Navy ¥29,500 (excl. tax)
While innovative bib shorts packed with state-of-the-art technology—like those from ASSOS and Q36.5—are constantly being released, these SAS bib shorts are built as if they don't even care about such "high performance." They are simply incredibly comfortable to wear, even for long periods.
The bold Navy color challenges you to decide what jersey to pair it with, but personally, I recommend the setup with the Grey SAS Riding Jersey.
S1A RidingJersey ¥19,000 (excl. tax)
Black / Green / Grey / White
Although it appears solid-colored, if you look closely, it’s actually a two-tone weave using two different colored threads, giving it a depth that keeps it from being too simple. Naturally, it’s made from high-performance, moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabric.
The zipper is from the Swiss company riri. It has a fantastic aesthetic, and the attention to detail extends to the tape behind the collar and seams, designed to protect your skin.
S1V RidingVest ¥29,500 (excl. tax)
This is a vest with the same specifications as the "S1 RidingJacket."
It’s a must-have item for rides during the change of seasons or on days when the weather is unpredictable.
Like the jacket mentioned earlier, both are equipped with back pockets.
And our only accessory.
S1AW Armwarmer ¥6,200 (excl. tax)
Just like the bib shorts, these arm warmers are made from a very comfortable fabric.
A key point is the subtle brushed lining.
These arm warmers can be used for a longer season, including into warmer weather than typical warmers.
Items released by SAS are simple, beautiful, and functional. I believe that because of their simplicity, they can also help you stand out from the crowd. Though the product range is small and carefully curated, each item is packed with tangible quality, so please be sure to try them out!
