Welcome to CAT1. We take our name from Category 1, the most difficult categorised climb in professional cycling.
And just like a Category 1 climb, where riders are tested to the limit, we’re pushing our limits to deliver cycling apparel that’s at the pinnacle of design, performance and quality.
CAT1 was founded in 2014 and was acquired by Cycling and Triathlon Apparel Specialists Cycle Closet in July 2026.
Cycle Closet remains committed to the CAT1 promise of high quality cycling apparel for training, racing and everyday rides, without the premium price tag.
