Etxe Ondo (pronounced "ett-shay on-doe) provides superlative quality casual garments and cycling apparel from cycling's most passionate heart, the Basque country of northern Spain. You know the Basque: they are the vociferous tifosi who proudly wave their orange banners and wave their orange and green flags when races venture into their ominous Pyrenees Mountains.
Relatively new to the USA, Etxe Ondo is a 30 year old European brand known for their high-quality and innovative designs (like fleece-lined cold weather socks and rich pile base-layer long sleeve t-shirts). Because of the extreme climate of the Basque country, with sweltering heat in the summer, pouring rains, and massive annual snowfall, Etxe Ondo designs products capable of dealing with the most adverse elements.
Using only the finest fabrics from providers such as Eschler of Switerland and Gore-Tex, Etxe Ondo is not inexpensive, but it is extremely durable. You may spend a few more dollars on their products, but you'll also get many years more use. Some of us at Cadence have used the same fleece-lined base layers for more than 5 seasons! Stop by Cadence to see our selection of Etxe Ondo's fine product offerings. One feel, and you'll instantly recognize the difference.
