Lumo has taken design inspiration from several classic British outerwear, including a Harington jacket, Camden Polo, and a Bermondsey backpack for example. It is designed for daily wear with cycling-friendly features such as a Schoeller 3XDRY finish to ensure water-proof, dirt repellence and breathability.

LED light strips are completely concealed until they are switched on.

Lumo outwears look to increase safety for bicyclist and decrease the chance of an accident with LED strips positioned on the front and back. The LED light strip on the Harrington jacket, for example, uses 14 four lumens LEDs, and is visible from over 400 metres away. It is powered by an USB rechargeable power pack that is tucked away in a small inside pocket.
