The higher waist works well for comfort on the bike and style off of it. But most crop tops are made of heavier cotton or poly which is not ideal, especially on a hotter day. We used a modern hi-tech cycling fabric that prints beautifully to keep you cool and odor free all day.

The Omloop Crop is a personal travelogue of the colors, exotic textiles, and quirky medieval architecture of Flanders and Ghent where the  race starts and finishes. 

Highlights include a mash-up of cannabis leaves, flower art from my hotel shower curtain, Moorish geometric patterns, 19th-century bird etchings, and Japanese candy-wrappers in the dark moody colors of Flanders that are so distinctive.
