The Essentials – Euro Collection by Black Sheep is a significant development for a range that has an unwavering commitment to continue being your ‘Everyday Hero’. The Euro Collection provides the rider with the ultimate in mid-weight rideability. A collection you can wear in the summer, and in the winter. Layer it. Or wear it as is. A collection for your every day.
The Essentials – Euro Collection draws on the rich heritage and prevailing trends of European cycling. But more crucially invokes the spirit of two particular riders – one male, one female – who embody the character and significance of what it means to be ‘everyday heroes’. Their names, Fausto Coppi and Alfonsina Strada.

"Garments that ride the way you ride. Responsive and demanding, with a hint of flamboyance thrown in for good measure."
The defining attribute of the Essentials – Euro Collection is the technology upon which it's crafted. We have endeavoured to establish a collection for a category of riding that isn't completed in extreme conditions. The constant quest for the lightest weight fabrics for summer, or the most protective of capsule barriers for winter is justified, but often not warranted. The majority of our riding is conducted in conditions where it starts off cool, then slowly warms with the rising sun and our corresponding body temperatures. In collaboration with Sitip S.p.A fabric mill in Italy, we bring you garments that ride the way you ride.
Responsive and demanding, with a hint of flamboyance thrown in for good measure.
“The Euro collection gilet is moulded to the female torso. A women’s specific garment built from the ground up, developed alongside our Black Sheep | Stinner women’s race team."
