After many months of development we're pleased to announce the launch of our new line of indoor cycling gear – The Pain Cave Collection. We deeply understand that dedicated indoor cyclists share the same passion as outdoor riders - both live for the thrill of the ride, reveling in hard-won miles over peaks and valleys. But indoor riders also face unique performance obstacles, namely oppressive heat and humidity leading to discomfort. Standard gear simply isn't engineered for these brutal indoor environments.
The Pain Cave Jersey uses premium lightweight mesh and strategic vent zones to enable airflow where riders overheat most severely. No more sweat-drenched rides that impact power output and morale alike.
The complementary Pain Cave Bib Shorts feature supple sweat-wicking panels in high moisture areas, keeping riders cool, dry and comfortable during vigorous virtual miles.
From breathability to chamois selection, the Pain Cave Collection optimizes the indoor cycling experience so riders can fully immerse in the joys of simulated outdoor adventure and thrill of virtual team competition.
“Verge’s new indoor collection builds on our 25 year heritage outfitting riders for outdoor competition by addressing the unique demands of indoor riding,” said Mike Magur, CEO and Founder at Verge. “From overheating to irritation from saturated clothing, we identified key pain points to design pro-level gear for the virtual racing and training environment.”
Now indoor cyclists can personalize Pain Cave Collection pieces in vibrant colors and exciting patterns to truly embody their team identities. Because Verge recognizes a crucial truth - joy is amplified, struggle is eased when you ride with others who share your passion.
“Esports riders put in serious miles and want to look and feel like a cohesive squad,” added Charlie Issendorf, VP of Sales & Marketing at Verge. “We’re empowering virtual teams to design custom indoor kits that give them an identity and competitive edge in online platform battles.”
