Life Behind Bars Cycling designed these bonus side pockets as a functional upgrade that no other cycling apparel provider in the country is currently offering. They are intentionally engineered into the jersey pattern—so they maintain a clean silhouette while giving riders additional, easy-to-access storage without compromising fit, aerodynamics, or comfort. These pockets were created specifically to elevate the rider experience on long days in the saddle. They allow cyclists to quickly access nutrition, a phone, or essentials without reaching behind or stopping—small details that make a meaningful difference on a tour.
