Levis 511 Commuter range designed to encourage cycling. A strap allows easy transportation of your security lock; nano-coating on the jeans repels rain, crotch support makes them last longer; and reflective strips make you safer. As a behaviour cycling is as a green as it gets, so anything that enables it is a sustainability winner.
