CREATED BY RIDERS WHO WANTED BETTER
Cased was founded by Rhett Jones and Dylan Vanek in 2025. We were upset that we couldn't find gear on the market that we actually wanted to wear so we created our own.
Each piece of Cased gear is personally tested and developed by both of the founders. Our mission is simple: make gear that we actually want to wear.

"I wear them under my riding shorts and you honestly forget they're there until you need them."
I'd tried a cheaper pair before these and they shifted around the whole ride and the padding was basically useless after one fall. Saw Cased had more coverage and a better fit and decided to give them a shot. I wear them under my riding shorts and you honestly forget they're there until you need them. Took a decent slam on a rock garden last weekend, got up, kept riding. That's really all I needed to know. These are my go-to now.
