While the fit of the Women's TRAIL MTB Jersey is loose, it's also tuned to minimise flapping fabric while still letting you flow with the trail, manoeuvre across technical trail features and enjoy easy movement whatever the trail demands of you. The cut can accommodate pads too, so you have a jersey that spans across disciplines from XC to Enduro and everything in between. The jersey is made with Assos' circular-knit Triangle textile, which boasts incredible lightness and fantastic breathability. As the day heats up the fabric will wick away sweat to ensure you're fresh on the way up and it's quick-drying too, so you'll enjoy dry comfort as you flow back down the trail. Assos have also added breathable bi-stretch mesh under the arms enhancing airflow and the feeling of comfort even as the sun beats down. Whether it's an after-work trail spin, an all-day epic or taking on an Enduro, the Women's Short Sleeve Trail Jersey is designed to excel, whatever comes your way.
When you're on the bike and battling the elements, this is where the Women's DYORA RS Rain Cycling Jacket comes into its own. When the clouds burst, it's the Schloss Tex fabric that keeps you comfortable. This 3-layer fabric offers excellent waterproof protection, rated to 10,000mm. At the same time, you don't want to be overwhelmed with sweat when riding. And the outstanding breathability, rated to 27,000g/m2/24h, prevents any clamminess or discomfort from sweat build-up. Rain is kept out. Sweat can Escape. The result is perfect comfort. Attention to the Details When you're riding in the rain, small details can count significantly towards comfort. This is demonstrated in the back, where two 'pocket slots' allow easier access to jersey pockets, and your vital energy bars and gels, without the need to pull up your rain jacket. They also act as vents to boost breathability. An extended rear panel adds wheel spray protection. Silicone dots at the hem also keep the fit snug and keep the elements out. A double-zipper also makes it super-simple to increase ventilation from the bottom, while maintaining protection at the chest. Oversized pull tabs also make for intuitive, glove-friendly operation.
Comfortable, supportive, warm and visible, the Assos ASSOSOIRES Winter Cycling Socks tick all the right boxes when it comes to cycling in winter. A unique cotton-wrapped elastomer blend provides a lightly compressive fit for brilliant comfort, while also keeping the foot and ankle warm. The blended knit is also exceptionally good at dealing with moisture build-up, transferring sweat through the yarns to the outside, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable inside your cycling 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 winter blue climaCode, you'll also know which socks to grab from your sock drawer when winter hits.
The S9 platform of cycling shorts have proved themselves to be at the cutting edge of cycling comfort and performance for even the most demanding of riders. And these EQUIPE RS Summer Bib Shorts S9 Werksteam continue to offer the very same incredible muscles support and flexibility as you dance on the pedals. Unrivalled stability always keeps the seat pads in the right place too. And they’re finished with stealthy Assos Werksteam graphics. A-Lock Engineering A-Lock engineering is all about creating shorts with incredible stability and a seat insert that is always perfectly positioned. The start of this system is a new fabric, Type.441 textile. This is a fabric which has exceptional compression qualities and with its silk feel is incredibly comfortable against the skin. Not only that it's quick-wicking, anti-odour and durable, the perfect fabric for performance cycling. Float like a Butterfly The next part of the above A-Lock engineering system is a significant advance in the panel and construction design. While the class-leading S7 shorts used a four-panel construction, the S9 uses just two. The result of using just the two panels is a reduction in seams leading to less weight and even more comfort. The two panels are then engineered into Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design, snugly wrapping the legs and back to create a brand new ergoBox structure. This holds the insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort no matter how intense your efforts. rollBar Bib Design The rollBar bib strap system provides unrivalled support of the lower section of the shorts. It acts just like an anti-sway bar in a car, the straps stabilising and securing the seat insert in place as you move. The straps are attached across the same seam as the insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle. The bib straps themselves are a combination of highly elastic materials and a single piece in the back forming an A-frame which supports the shorts perfectly. In the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat - the result is extremely lightweight straps you will barely notice. S9 RS Equipe Seat Pad The RS Equipe Seat Pad delivers the comfort you need to concentrate on your performance. A super-soft antibacterial microfibre offers a luxurious feel against the skin while kraterCooler holes ensure excellent ventilation, preventing sweat build-up and promoting freshness. A combination of 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam and superAir microShock memory foam core work together to give support to your sit bones and quick adaption to your body position whenever you shift weight or move in and out of the saddle.
Cycling in cool autumnal and spring conditions can be difficult to dress for. You can soon be too hot and sweaty after harder efforts which then makes you cold when you back off the pace. And yet take it steady and you can soon feel a chill. The ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Long Sleeve Base Layer looks to address this dilemma. For a start, the carbon and polypropylene yarns offer significantly improved insulation and moisture management in comparison to previous models of Assos base layers. The technical blend of medium-weight fabrics balances both excellent insulation levels with an impressive ability to rapidly wick away sweat from the skin. The result is a smooth, insulating, and antibacterial short-sleeve first layer that keeps your core dry and protected under your outer layers. Elastane fibres are also used to give the base layer its close to the body stretch fit and allow for easy mobility too. And with a Circular Knit construction, there are no seams to cause undue irritation. Thanks to this construction it's some 11% lighter than it's Skinfoil predecessors too, making it less noticeable than ever before. It's the perfect first layer of your transitional season's cycling wardrobe.
In the transitional seasons of spring and autumn, getting warmth and comfort just right can be tricky and this applies to headwear too. The Spring Fall Headband is a brilliant accessory as you can wear it when you set off, preventing the shock of cold air to the ears and forehead, and then when you've warmed up its light and compact enough to easily slip into a jersey or jacket pocket. The open-top design means airflow can still cool your head and speed sweat removal from inside your helmet, but ears and forehead remain wonderfully cosy and warm, just like with a winter skull cap. Perfection.
To provide waterproof and breathable protection over the shoe box, the ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Toe Covers G2 use Assos' 3L NEOS Light softshell. This is a tried and trusted fabric used for many of their waterproof jackets and features an ultralight membrane to keep the elements out. All the overshoe's seams are taped too, ensuring cold winds, icy road spray and rain showers can't creep inside when you're pedalling. On the underside of the toe covers, you'll find a tough reinforced material that boosts both durability and grip. A silicone inner band holds the covers in place and raw-cut zeroCuffs ensure a smooth finish that won't spoil the look of your favourite road shoes.
Rather than a traditional 'tube' construction, Assos gives their ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Neck Foil triangle side panels to more closely follow the shape of your face and neck. And when used alongside the Circular Seamless construction, which removes the need for seams, this unique design of neck tube offers superb levels of comfort. The ultrasoft polypropylene fibres provide excellent levels of breathability so not only are you kept warm you won't get too hot and sweaty either. It's a winter cycling accessory that while not glamourous will add another level of comfort to your ride.

The Rain Cycling Cap is both waterproof and breathable, perfectly suited to slip under your cycle helmet when conditions take a turn for the worse. The 3-layer Schloss Tex, as used for Assos' Rs rain jackets, incorporates a hydrophilic membrane to resist water ingress. At the same time, the excellent breathability prevents excessive sweat build-up when your effort levels rise. Its half-moon construction uses arched side panels and a centre panel to give a smooth bulk-free fit that works well with your helmet. The prim can be used up or down to shield from the elements, terry-lining wicks sweat off your forehead and light elastic at the back gives a snug fit. For added insulation, pair it with an Assos' Spring-Fall headband or winter Robo Foil skullcap.
The low-volume GT Rain Cycling Gloves are ideal for all-year-round use. Made in NeoWet, this moderately thick material works by absorbing a moderate amount of moisture which then creates an insulating layer against cooler conditions.
