Welcome to the world of ARRRGO!
Where simplicity and sun safety blend seamlessly with style for the youngest generation of trailblazers.
The inspiration for ARRRGO came when my thrill-seeking grandson, Arlo, expressed a strong interest in mountain biking and cycling at the tender age of three, following in the footsteps of his cycling enthusiast parents.
Determined to equip him with the right gear for his budding passion, I embarked on a search for a nice, simple, and sun-safe design.
To my surprise, I discovered a significant gap in the market, with a lack of cycling clothes or bike wear specifically tailored for kids aged two to five years. The options I did come across were characterised by garish colours, overly complicated designs, and lacked the quality necessary for the Australian conditions. They fell short on sun safety and were made from heavy, non-breathable materials.
Recognising this void, I founded ARRRGO to address the need for high-quality, functional, and stylish bike wear for the youngest riders. Our mission is to provide little adventurers with the right gear that not only meets their unique needs but also reflects their boundless enthusiasm for exploration.
The ARRRGO logo is inspired by my Arlo, who is known and admired by his wild hair. When he rides that’s all you see!
And “GO”… well that’s all you need to say and he’s off!!!
Our Products
Venturing into the depths of fabric exploration, I embarked on a mission to create the perfect blend of comfort, style and sun safety for our little riders at ARRRGO.

The journey led me through a rabbit hole of possibilities, where my primary goal was to produce a high-quality product that not only looked good but was also appropriate for our young adventurers.
The culmination of this exploration exceeded even my wildest expectations. Our shirt designs are a result of collaboration with an experienced Spanish cycling jersey designer.
The fabric, a crucial component, is sourced from reputable Italian brand renowned for their expertise in crafting breathable performance fabrics for various sports.
Incorporating three types of fabric into all our products was a deliberate choice. This triple-layered approach not only ensures optimum breathability but also provides a formidable UV sun protection factor of 50+.
Lightweight, breathable, and fast-absorbing, our products are tailor-made for the warm conditions of our beloved Aussie landscapes.
ARRRGO products are not just a one-size-fits-all solution; they are specifically tailored for our younger riders aged two to five years. This commitment arose from my own struggle to find suitable bike wear for these sizes, motivating me to create a line that caters precisely to the needs of our budding cyclists.
Welcome to ARRRGO, where meticulous fabric selection and thoughtful classic, stylish design converge to create the perfect gear for our little trailblazers.
A bright future
The journey with ARRRGO has been more than just creating bike wear for young riders; it’s become a source of joy for families engaging in various outdoor activities.
Over time, I’ve discovered that our shirts have found a place beyond the bike trails, becoming a favourite for camping, fishing, hiking and more.
The sun-safe and breathable qualities of our products make them versatile enough to withstand the sun without compromising comfort, allowing families to enjoy the outdoors without feeling too hot during the day.
As the founder of ARRRGO, I’ve got a multitude of ideas swirling in my head, some designs waiting on the cutting room floor, and a trove of new products up my sleeve. Stay tuned, because there’s more to come from ARRRGO!
It is inspiring to see how our shirts are making a positive impact on families, encouraging them to get out and embrace the beautiful Australian lifestyle. My ultimate goal is to make a difference in the lives of families across the country, providing them with quality gear that enhances their outdoor experiences and creates lasting memories.
Thank you for being part of the ARRRGO adventure – the best is yet to come!
