Our designer & founder Ros Fraser has extensive industry experience with technical & performance fabrics for extreme athletes.

Back in the late 80s & early 90s, Ros was the designer for an iconic Australian extreme outdoor clothing brand & has worked with moisture wicking & breathable waterproof fabrics for many years. Ros has also been involved in the technical development of many fabrics & performance fabric coatings & finishes.

Ros’s experience spans couture bridal to extreme outdoor high-performance technical apparel, & every category you can think of in-between.

In 2019 Cantaloup made the conversion to a technical lining with moisture wicking & anti-bacterial performance properties. This was done after extensive competition testing & paddock bashing was carried out on a range of fabrics under consideration.

Field testing of numerous fabrics was performed by members of the sponsored rider team, random riders given product at competitions & myself of numerous fabrics before putting this technological advantage into production.

Cantaloup sponsored riders test fabrics on an ongoing basis as part of their sponsorship commitment.

Independent laboratory testing has also been conducted on our signature matte satin and moisture wicking lining.
