To guarantee a snug fit, Assos uses seven panels to give the RS Aero FF Gloves a streamlined and 'wrinkle free' fit. Its 3D shaping follows the anatomical structure of the human hand as it grips the bars leading to incredible comfort. Breezer Tex fabric is used across the back of the gloves, this extremely light fabric has a mesh-like structure delivering both comfort and a high degree of breathability. The palm features strategically positioned pads, wrapped in perforated synthetic leather for durability, and this combination offer excellent protection while not hindering dexterity, bar feel and road feedback. The lightweight palm works brilliantly with the smooth back to give you a smooth, low-bulk fit with a barely-there feel.
Even in the height of summer, any road cyclist will tell you that leaving home without something windproof is a mistake. Thankfully, Assos know this and have created the female-specific UMA GT Wind Jacket to keep you defended without letting you overheat via a surprisingly low volume. On the front, the Foil Ultra fabric is light and racey enough to compete with the best of them, while the Glossy textile on the side panels adds plenty of stretch, offering complete freedom of movement despite sitting close to the body. It’s also wonderfully breathable, as you’d expect, to keep you cool and wick sweat away from the bod quickly and effectively. Of course, you don’t always want to be wearing the jacket on calmer warm days, and so it’s good news that the immense packability of the UMA GT Wind Jacket allows you to slip it into a pocket or bag until you need it. There really is no reason not to leave home with it just in case, perfect for the whole year round.
To give a versatile and packable vest Assos have stripped back the garment to the essentials, using highly functional fabrics to deliver exceptional performance. The MILLE GT Wind Vest is made with Assos' Foil Ultra textile to the front. This lightweight fabric is windproof, water-repellent and breathable so you'll enjoy a nicely regulated micro-climate inside. Meanwhile, the side panels use 'Glossy' a warp-knit windproof textile which gives extra stretch to enhance the fit while still maintaining breathability. The combination strikes a balance of low pack weight and protection son you're happy to take the GT Vest on every ride without sacrificing too much space in pockets. In terms of the fit of the vest, this garment is less compressive than a racingFit, but more fitted than Assos' comfortFit. It bridges the gap between the two and provides the ideal balance between comfort, freedom of movement and performance.

The Women's Trail Liner Cycle Shorts are finely tailored undershorts, giving you the ultimate in luxurious comfort when taking on rougher riding surfaces. At the heart of the shorts is an Assos' Off-Road seat insert, positioned to take into account the more upright riding position of mountain and gravel bikes. Its plush design boasts 10mm of memory foam for shock absorption and provides support for the sit bones while also alleviating pressure so you can ride in comfort. The Women's Trail Liners are highly breathable, ensuring you remain dry and fresh all-day even as the day heats up and with their external seams, you're assured of a chafe and irritation-free fit. The unique v-shape waist design ensures the shorts sit perfectly while in a riding position and allow maximum freedom of movement.

Lightweight, super-stretchy and ergonomically designed, they'll take your trail riding comfort to a whole new level.
Assos' design team spent countless hours riding, testing and refining patterns and materials for their Trail FF Gloves. The extensive testing led them to a design that is pre-shaped, the 3D structure mimicking the anatomical shape of the hands when gripping handlebars. This carefully engineered design provides the right level of support where you need it and reduces bulk where you don't. The palm makes use of a two-layer construction, the first layer is a durable 3D mesh to which a light perforated padding is added at the upper sections, plus across the thumb where body weight is often focused. To boost durability, the fingers benefit from a double layer of material and silicone on the braking fingers gives firm control of the levers. Lastly, a flexible cuff provides a sleek and comfortable fit while minimising weight.

To take on the demands of cool and changeable conditions Assos engineered two new textiles specifically for the task and used them for the Women's UMA GT Spring Fall Half Tights. First comes RX EVO, this is used across most of the tight, it's cosy and warm and features an ECO water–repellent treatment for extra comfort in damp, misty and drizzly conditions. Meanwhile, the back of the legs features RX Light, a highly breathable material with extra flexibility, ensuring you don't overheat and you also enjoy unrestricted pedalling. With a fold-over front panel design at the waist, you'll also enjoy a smooth, pressure-free transition between the body and fabric. Speaking of flexibility, the Women's UMA GT Spring Fall Half Tights have a lightly compressive fit and are cut with Assos' regularFit meaning they're performance orientated but not as tight as a pure race-bred garment. The high degree of stretch means the tights flex with your pedal stroke and the tailoring ensures you enjoy complete support and comfort of the upper leg muscles, knees, and calves while in motion. Meanwhile, when you're on the saddle, support is provided by the women's specific UMA S7 EVO pad, it features 8mm of memory foam, 3DWaffle, a patented, three-layer perforated foam and goldenGate technology to deliver exceptional comfort on any ride, long or short. Too mild for winter tights but too cold for shorts? It's here that the UMA GT Spring Fall Half Tights come into their own, balancing warmth, breathability and weather protection for those days when you're just not sure what spring or autumn cycling days have in store.
Made from InfraRed Yarns with a high percentage of elastomer, the RSR Socks are designed for the rigours of both racing and hard training sessions. The elastomer provides compressive support across the foot and when blended with Lycra you'll enjoy a firm non-slip hold over the ankle and lower leg. A mesh arch support provides a boost to comfort and increases airflow to rapidly evaporate sweat leading to a cooler foot. With their seamless construction, you'll also enjoy friction-free comfort - these are socks you'll soon forget you're wearing.
The Assos Women's UMA GT Spring/Fall Jacket is brilliant for cool and breezy days on the bike and, should the conditions turn to damp and drizzly, it's water-resistant too. A 3-layer softshell, with a NOES MILD membrane, provides complete protection from cold winds, rain showers, road-spray and plunging temperatures – all without sacrificing breathability. On the tops of the arm, a brushed bi-stretch RX material adds insulation, while the under arms and back-panel boost breathability with Type.157 – a breathable, circular-knit fabric. Designed with regularFit, the Assos Women's UMA GT Spring/Fall Jacket is built for optimal riding comfort, allowing room for additional layers, should you need them.

In the cooler air of spring and autumn, the front of the Assos TRAIL Spring/Fall Men's Jacket protects your body and shoulders with an all-new, ultra-soft material called RX TECH Melange. Brushed on the inside, it provides just the right level of insulation to keep you warm as you swoop and roll down free-flowing singletrack. Featuring the same textile technology as the Assos TRAIL jerseys, the light and flexible back-panel material adds breathability and pulls moisture away from the layers below. Inside, the sleeves feature a lightly brushed RX fabric for a touch of extra insulation. They also feature abrasion-resistant dyneRope - fifteen times stronger than steel, this fibre is blended with a black polyethene and is strategically placed to protect exposed areas.

To enhance moisture transfer the socks feature a unique hexagonal and square knit, it quickly wicks moisture through the yarns to the outer surface, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable inside your shoes. The seamless construction removes any irritation, a ribbed arch provides enhanced support across the foot and a reflective band up the back keeps you safe and seen in lower light conditions. With the spring/fall yellow climaCode you'll also know which socks to grab from your sock drawer.
The Assos Women’s TRAIL Spring/Fall Jacket protects your torso and shoulders from the cool spring and autumn air, using RX TECH Melange – an all-new, ultra-soft material, brushed on the inside to keep you warm and insulated as you speed down the mountainside. Keeping you dry, the breathable back-panel pulls moisture from the layers below, using the same material and technology from the Assos TRAIL jersey range. Your arms will appreciate the extra insulation from the lightly brushed RX fabric inside the sleeves and, the dyneRope covered elbows will protect your arms from abrasion.

There comes a point in the year when the seasons begin to transition and summer shorts are no longer warm enough and yet pulling on full winter tights isn't quite necessary. Enter the Equipe RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts S9 - cosy shorts for training and racing in the cooler conditions of autumn and spring. Warmth and Breathability in Harmony The thigh panels are made from Assos' heavyweight brushed-back Osmos Heavy material - super-soft against the skin, insulating and yet highly breathable, it ensures a perfect temperature whether it's a hard early-season race effort or a steady autumnal spin.

Come spring and autumn, temperatures may not be as extreme as the depths of winter, but a short sleeve jersey, arm warmers, and gilet may not cut it when it comes to comfort and warmth. The Equipe RS Spring Fall Jacket is there to fill the gap in those hard to dress for transitional months. Made from Push-Pull exterior and more insulating Rhombus on the inside, the twinDeck construction offers an incredible combination of insulation and breathability. This is then complemented by Assos' unique and exclusive Diffusor 'air-valve' system on the shoulders - these vents draw in cooling air to circulate between the two layers, preventing overheating and regulating body temperature.

Aero. Warm. Comfortable. Think of those early and late season races, where intensity is high but temperatures are on the wane. You'll more often than not begin with a gilet on, but be pulling it off when the speed picks up, then pulling it on again for a chilly descent - a definite hassle. When racing or training, the Equipe RS Spring Fall Aero reduces the need for such layering. This is all thanks to its lightweight two-layer, highly breathable, thermal body fabric locking in warmth. Meanwhile, unique cooling Diffusor 'air valves' to the front regulate the body temperature.

With the rs.sturmPrinz EVO Windproof jacket the objective was to create the ideal rain and wind-protective jacket for high-performance cycling, no holds barred and no corners cut by the accountants. However, Assos' aim was not to make a 100% waterproof jacket. Why not? Because 100% waterproof also means 100% impermeable - sweat builds up and can't escape. Not what you want. The evaporation process must be proactive, it mustn't be slowed excessively by your protective shell - which ultimately leads to cold and chills. To this end the rs.sturmPrinz EVO protects but also breathes incredibly well-maintaining body temperature and comfort. Assos have calibrated and optimised the balance between insulation and protection, without jeopardising your performance, giving you a functional, intelligently engineered, cycling-specific anti-rain device that works! This has been achieved through the use of exclusive TRITON fabric, specifically engineered by Assos for the rs.sturmPrinz jacket. The sturmPrinz use two versions of TRITON. The front panel features TRITON V1, a robust fabric engineered to be more resistant, and the back panel uses the lighter, more breathable TRITON V2. Ergonomically shaped to fit your body in the cycling position the jacket sits close and then follows your movements. Thanks to the high-performance TRITON fabric, ASSOS have been able to tailor the jacket closer to the body, resulting in less volume and no “balloon effect,” providing total freedom of movement. This is a jacket ideally suited for hard riding and racing on-the-rivet when the rain is incessant.
