If you are a road cyclist for any length of time, then it is inevitable that you will collect a substantial number of jerseys, shorts, bibs, socks, shoes, e.t.c. Mongo is no different.
The key to a large collection of multi-brand items is the ability to cross-co-ordinate appropriately. Matching brands is never as important as matching styles and looks. Occasionally though, you will find yourself in a situation where, by fate or by accident, you are mono-branded from head to toe.
Mongo has the ability to mono-brand in the ensemble of three different manufacturers...Specialized, Louis Garneau, and Pearl Izumi. Though I mostly mix between these and the many other brands I own, Mongo is not afraid to match. There's a fine line between looking sharp and looking like a complete dork when in mono-brand mode, and only years of practice and shame can train a cyclist properly before he or she becomes comfortable enough to match with pride.
