Curious Creatures

A Brand Inspired by the Outdoors and the Mountains of Montana

by Holly Battista-Resignolo

Meet Natasha Woodworth, the founder and designer behind the brand Curious Creatures bike gear. Her products come from an extensive background of athleticism and product design. She served 10+ years at Patagonia on the design team, responsible for the launch of Patagonia’s MTB line and women’s touring. Prior to that… she was a designer at Quicksilver and also worked in fashion/design for Lady Gaga and Marc Jacobs, traveling the world and its city streets.

Natasha however is most inspired in the mountains and felt it was time to change it up and headed to Montana where Curious Creatures is headquartered and crafted. Bozeman is home, where she can sew up some shorts and pedal out the door to test a new fabric, concept or pattern.

Some Wild, Flowery, Curious Creatures out on the trail.

Her attention to detail and curves stand out in the brand’s design, with comfort as the distinguishing feature of her outerwear. These products are Natasha’s signature creations. Her goal of making stylish mountain bike apparel that felt like clothes, not a costume, has come to fruition with a line of fantastic garments that cater to women (but there is a small men’s line, too).

So, the name… Curious Creatures is derived from how she and her team feel about getting out and exploring, respecting, and appreciating the magic of the unknown. We really like the quote on her website, “Just a bunch of weirdos obsessed with exploring our world by bike. We grew tired of hearing our friends say they didn’t feel “like themselves” when putting on the standard overbuilt, over-designed, Neo from the matrix inspired mountain bike gear”.

Women’s Sun Dog Shorts – A personal favorite

We get it and highly recommend her bike wear which we cross over into anytime/activity wear. We love our Women’s Sun Dog Shorts and Pants. We have worn them biking on high mountain peaks, Sedona sandstone, and along Gulf Coast shores. We wouldn’t mind getting a flowery Creature Suit too.
