Scottish clothing specialist Endura has, in recent years, pushed technical boundaries with record-breaking speedsuits and Pro-tour clothing for the likes of Movistar Team.
So, it’s good to see the brand hasn’t forgotten its humble roots in making quality affordable clothing for UK riders.
The new Loop range is intended both for new riders and adventurous roadies seeking gravel-ready kit at a decent price.
The Loop range consists of nine pieces, available in both men’s and women’s fits. It includes bib shorts, waist shorts, baggy shorts and cargo shorts. Up top, there’s a traditional short-sleeve zipped jersey, and long and short-sleeve technical T-shirts.
Full-finger and mitt gloves are available, too.
My pick of the range is the bib shorts and short-sleeve jersey combo for the road, and the technical tees and cargo shorts for off-road riding and summer commutes.
Endura Loop Bib Shorts

The bib shorts are cut with a high waist to add plenty of core support and a Y-back brace shape.
The braces are high-stretch and laser-cut. The construction features flat-locked seams and smart touches such as raw-edge hems and side pockets, along with a generously thick endurance pad (Endura’s 400 series).
The bib shorts are available in men’s sizes XS through to XXXL and women’s XS-XXL.
- £74.99 / $99.99 / €84.99

Endura Loop Short Sleeve Jersey

The matching Short Sleeve Jersey is made from a silky-soft lightweight Drirelease fabric and is cut more generously than most road jerseys.
All the details I’d want are present, with a full-length zip, triple rear pockets and a zipped security pocket.
The rear has an extended tail with reflective details and the side panels have silicone grippers to keep the hem in place.
It looks to be a true high-performance jersey at a great price and is available in men’s sizes XS through to XXXL and women’s XS-XXL.
- £49.99 / $69.99 / €64.99

Endura Loop Technical Tee

Endura's short- and long-sleeve Technical Tees are also made from the super-soft and fast-drying Drirelease fabric.
The flat-knit front is complemented by a ‘birds-eye’ mesh knit on the back, complete with a large yet discreet Endura logo. The back also features a dropped rear for riding.
The fit is relaxed and could easily double up as gym or running wear.
The tees are available in men’s sizes XS through to XXXL and women’s XS-XXL.
- Long-sleeve: £49.99 / $59.99 / €59.99
- Short-sleeve: £44.99 / $49.99 / €54.99

The waistband is fully adjustable with an internal elasticated band and a ribbon-anchored button above the zipped fly.
Silicone grippers aid the fit and the Cargos come with a Clickfast detachable liner short with Endura’s lightweight 200 series pad.
