We loved the “Xob” Collection (that’s ‘box’ spelled backwards) from Dohm/Icebox. Dohm/Icebox is a small company in Longmont, Colorado who think outside the box and make wonderful knit hats, scarves and other accessories that are great to wear on and off the bicycle. We also love the fact that they are environmentally friendly and sustainability is a major part of their business practice! But these clothing accessories stand out as chic pieces to wear on and off the bike! Check out their knit arm warmers and leg warmers! (They aren’t just for road cyclists now!)

The Xob Collection have a unique and fun style that can be paired with a streak of practicality. The “newsie” caps are made with “upcycled” men’s and women’s suit jackets and lined with satin. The arm warmers and leg warmers are made from the pieces and parts of recycled wool-blend sweaters. They look great, wear well and are easy on the environment! No wonder we love them!
If you too love them, we are offering a special giveaway of a few great items from this collection to a lucky reader! Simply make a comment on this article and be entered in to win! You will be contacted via e-mail. (No spam please!) This contest will go until July 1st!

Love those hats! Where where can I get them? That hood is so cute! Does it really fit over a helmet? ! Does it come in other colors?
Bethany’s white had is adorable. I also really like the scarves in this collection. Can’t wait to order one–especially sice they’re so green.
Sophie, your best bet for finding these items is by going to Dohm/Icebox store locator here: http://www.iceboxknitting.com/index.cfm?pageName=Store Locator to find a store near you that carries them–or you can check out their website (our link to them is above.) Because they are made from “recycled” products–each piece is unique. The hood would best fit over a Bern or Nutcase helmet.
Cute! Cute! Cute! Extra love going out to the Xob Hood Scarf and the Peace Pouch.
I love the arm warmers, I made some for my girlfriends for the holidays. They’re perfect for being active when it’s too cold for to go out in a t-shirt but a thick sweater is stifling. Love the structure and the lines.. they’ve taken it to the next level!
Love the black and white pageboy cap! Very stylin’….
Those hats are super cute and stylish, I also love the arm warmers that are not your normal cycling gear. love them both.
would love to have a cute hat that fits over my helmet!
Well, this fashion brings out the care free riding i love………No stress, just riding with the wind in my cheeks,just being the little girl in me…..
