Vratislav Pecka, also known as PosterLad, is the type of person who got so tired of office work that he went his own way as a graphic artist. He spent two years in Amsterdam, where he says he got a taste for riding a bike. “In that country, cycling is the most popular sport alongside football, so I became a bit more interested in it," he says of his first interest in cycling.
The idea of imprinting his artistic ideas on cycle wear didn't take long to come to him, and since he already had some experience in designing clothes, he decided to make this idea a reality. "I've seen several times that a certain type of my illustrations generally translates well onto clothing. Based on this, I started working with different brands and have done designs for all kinds of clothing and accessories - from belt bags, to backpacks, t-shirts, socks and dresses."
The vast majority of his graphic illustrations are strictly abstract in nature, and the mosaic of colourful shapes on our clothes is no exception. "My aim was simply to visually engage with a good combination of colours and an interesting composition of individual shapes. I call my graphic style "Colourful Minimalism", as I mainly use the most basic shapes such as a circle or square and I like to work with a high-contrast colour palette," he explains.
Creating an attractive design was the first important part of this process of making unique cycling clothing. But for the creator of these colourful and elaborate illustrations, the question remained what would happen to his creation once the graphics were sublimated onto jerseys and other accessories. "I am extremely happy with the collection. And now I don't mean that I want to praise myself, but rather I want to highlight the work of Kalas, especially the graphic designer Lenka Čeperová, with whom I coincidentally studied in the past, how they fitted my graphics on the jersey and complemented the jerseys with precisely fitting shorts and socks. As a whole it looks really great." He compliments.
The PosterLad collection is available in both men's and women's styles, and in addition to the two colourways of the jerseys, you'll also find shorts from our PRO collection, a loose fit jersey, a cycling cap, and stylish aero socks. Unusual, bold, unique. Add a colourful sparkle to your ride in clothing designed by an award-winning art designer.
We are returning to a collaboration that brings colour, vibrancy, and energy to our clothing. Introducing our new PosterLad art collection, based on the "Purple Glow" graphics by digital artist Vratislav Pecka, aka PosterLad. His signature style is once again unmistakable – colourful minimalism, simple geometric shapes, and compositions that feel lively and harmonious.

To celebrate World Oceans Day, we present a special edition Blue Marine Foundation jersey. Inspired by the underwater world, proceeds from the sale of these jerseys also support an important cause - the protection and restoration of the world's oceans.
We are continuing the tradition of effort to support cycling and will donate all proceeds on Wednesday, 3 December, to youth projects. So, if you buy any product on our eShop on this day, you will also contribute to the support of young Czech talents.
In cooperation with our R&D, we have prepared some basic advice and tips on how to take the best possible care of your cycle wear. How to use, wash and store properly. Please remember that proper product care plays a crucial role in maintaining the performance and comfort of your kit. To ensure your Kalas gear stays in top condition and lasts for many seasons, it's essential to follow these guidelines. However, please don’t forget that these are general recommendations and the most accurate information on how to treat the product can always be found on the label of each garment itself.
When choosing the right cycling gear, proper fit is key. Our customers often have questions about the fit of cycle wear, such as, “How tight should my cycling shorts be?” or “How should I choose the right size for my cycling jersey?” Our advice is that proper fit is essential for both comfort and performance. Your cycle wear should feel snug but not restrictive, allowing freedom of movement while providing compression benefits.

That’s why we’ve put together an overview of the main updates, key changes, and proven features.
If we want to cycle when the weather is drizzly or rainy, we have two options. Either we hop on the indoor trainer and do a workout from the convenience of our own home, or we step out of our comfort zone and brave the weather outside. Both options offer benefits, but those who venture outdoors should consider a more substantial layer of clothing.
The insert, known among cyclists as the 'chamois’ or ‘pad’, is probably the most important part of any pair of cycling shorts. The quality of the pad is crucial for comfort and performance when cycling. A properly designed pad minimizes pressure on sensitive areas, provides ergonomic support and helps prevent blisters or abrasions. That's why our shorts and tights only feature pads from Elastic Interface, the world-renowned leader in this field. Years of experience, a proactive approach to development and the brand's exquisite materials ensure maximum comfort in the saddle.
Cyclo-cross, the city of Tábor and the Kalas brand have been inseparable for several decades. In celebration of this, we decided to bring a unique form to this mutual fusion and commissioned a limited edition jersey named “TÁBOR - HOME OF CX”.
We constantly strive to improve our clothing to meet the high demands of modern cycling while providing maximum comfort. For 2024, we've added off-road FREE RIDE and BMX jerseys to our range, expanded our skinsuits collection and improved some accessories. Here is a comprehensive overview of the main new products for the upcoming season, their main changes and proven features.
