For some items, a longer delivery time is explicitly indicated in our shop (in red letters on the bundle pages and under the color selection on the respective product detail page). This is usually because we are waiting for a subsequent delivery and want to give you early access to the items.
If you entered an incorrect delivery address when placing your order, please send us an email immediately to support@straede.cc with the following information:
- Order number & email address

If you do not pick up your package in time (7 days from the DHL branch, 30 days from Packstation), the shipment will be returned to us, checked and we will refund you the amount after receipt of the shipment. Please note that this causes enormous additional costs and uses unnecessary resources.

We've coordinated our bundles stylistically and functionally. To help you find the perfect bundle, we've created a detailed bundle comparison to give you a better overview. You can find it here .
From a technical perspective, discount codes cannot be combined with our bundles (this also applies to the newsletter discount). In addition, our bundle offers already contain a discount, which means you get the products at a reduced price. Discount codes are applicable to individual products or orders outside of our bundles.
Products
To make your selection as easy as possible, we've created a detailed size guide for you (found on each individual product page next to the size selection). If you're still unsure, our support team will be happy to help. You'll find the contact form at the bottom of this page.
It occasionally happens that products are temporarily sold out. Often, returns or reorders quickly restock the items. Unfortunately, we cannot give an exact forecast of whether and when the item will be available again, as this varies from product to product.
Sign up for restock notifications on the respective product page (button "Notify me") so that you will be automatically informed as soon as your desired item is available again.
We recommend washing all textile items before use.
To ensure maximum durability, hand washing or a cold wash is recommended. Alternatively, the products can be machine washed. Please use a gentle cycle (30°C, delicate wash, reduced spin speed) and a laundry bag (available at drugstores, for example). Turn the products inside out to protect logos, lettering, and outer seams. Please also close all zippers.
To ensure a long lifespan, wash these items with similar colors, do not iron them, and avoid tumble drying. Also, do not use fabric softener and ideally use a detergent specifically designed for technical fabrics.
In case of heavier soiling, such as mud splashes, it is very important to rinse and pretreat the fabric immediately after the ride.
Some materials, such as merino wool, require special care. Please refer to our washing and care guide for more information.
In addition to the detailed guide, you will find supplementary information below to support you in your care:
Wash
- Turn the clothes inside out before washing and close all zippers .
- Wash at a maximum of 30 °C on a gentle cycle with a low spin speed (600–800 rpm) .
- Do not use fabric softener or bleach , as these can damage or clog the fibers.
- It is best to use a detergent for technical textiles and a laundry bag to protect logos and seams.
- Wash the items with similar colors .
- Do not iron or blow-dry – heat can damage coatings or functional fibers.
Dry
- Do not tumble dry – the heat can damage the material or set stains.
- Air drying is the gentlest method, ideally in the shade and not in direct sunlight.
Stains from sunscreen or sweat
With functional synthetic materials, it can happen that certain sunscreens (especially water-resistant versions with mineral UV filters or silicones ) as well as salty sweat leave stubborn residues.
These spots are often not immediately visible, but can reappear due to heat or UV radiation.
Our recommendations:
- Rinse or wash clothes as soon as possible after wearing them .
- Do not use fabric softener to maintain breathability.
- For stubborn stains, use a special sports detergent or an enzyme-containing pre-wash spray if necessary.
- Do not heat (no ironing/blowing, no tumble drying) to avoid setting stains.
Even if the affected areas remain visually impaired, the function of the material is fully preserved .
Special care for Merino products
Merino wool products should be treated with particular care:
- Use a wool cycle or hand wash with wool detergent .
- Do not wring out ; let dry flat in the air.
Tip: Every textile should be washed once before its first use.
You can find all the details about care in our washing and care guide .
For everyday cycling, comfort, functionality and a modern look are important – especially for commuters who want to feel comfortable even off the saddle.
Our recommendations:
- Motion Lifestyle Shirt
→ A versatile companion for everyday life and commuting. Modern unisex fit with half-length sleeves, comfortable material blend and a cooling feel – the right choice even off the bike.
- Gravel Shirt & Kaern Jersey
→ More relaxed cut with a relaxed and loose fit. Breathable and comfortable – ideal for commuting to work or casual rides in your free time.
- Cargo Bibs
→ An all-rounder for everyday cycling. With pockets for smartphone, keys or energy bars and a comfortable seat cushion – practical and comfortable, even for longer distances.
- Lightweight wind vests & windbreakers
→ Weather-resistant, compact for storage and versatile in its combinations – perfect for changing conditions.
- Merino Baselayer
→ Regulates temperature and odors and provides warmth as a first layer in the cooler season.
Note: Using backpacks can cause chafing on your shoulders and back. We recommend using jersey bags, cargo bibs, or small handlebar bags for carrying your gear on your bike whenever possible.
All products are designed to combine functional features with a clean, modern design – for everyone who wants to feel just as good on their bike as they do in everyday life.
Yes, the products can generally be worn with a backpack. However, please note that friction against the shoulders and back can cause abrasion on the fabric. This applies particularly to close-fitting jerseys or jackets made of lightweight performance materials.
For everyday use, we therefore recommend alternatives such as jersey bags, our cargo bibs, or small handlebar bags. This way you avoid additional wear and tear while maintaining full freedom of movement on the bike.

straede & more
Straede derives from the Danish word stræde and can mean either "street" or "close-fitting." More importantly, it embodies the Nordic mindset. Minimalism is found in many elements of Nordic culture. Simplicity with accents. Straede aims to represent precisely these qualities. You can learn more here if needed.
Through our partners, you can also discover, try on, and purchase our products in person. Find our current partners here .
No, unfortunately that's not possible. Our online shop and our brick-and-mortar stores are organizationally separate. Products ordered online are generally shipped and cannot be picked up in-store. If you would like to purchase a specific item directly in-store, we recommend calling the respective retailer in advance to inquire about availability.
We currently work with established suppliers in Asia. We have been able to build very good and close relationships with various suppliers who best meet our quality standards – without losing sight of the consumer and the associated price point.
Furthermore, we are gradually expanding our partner network in European countries in order to find the optimal partner for each product and to shorten delivery routes.
Our straede Crew Rides are guided group rides that take place in various regions and cities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. You can find an overview here ; we look forward to seeing you!
Our resealable zipper bags are currently the most sustainable solution for us to meet our shipping and storage standards. We use them for both outbound and return shipments and can often reuse them in the event of a return. We are also working on implementing paper-based shipping solutions in the long term.
Our zippered bags are incredibly versatile. For example, you can use them to store your belongings during a bikepacking trip or to pre-sort spare parts. They're also perfect for transporting snacks or wet laundry. Basically, the possibilities are endless!
