Using Assos' Linear Seamless technology, the ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Liner Gloves provide a silky-smooth fit and no seams between your fingers for enhanced comfort and dexterity. Raw-cut cuffs also add to the luxurious feel and allow a smooth fit with your jackets and jerseys as well as a smooth fit under winter gloves. Cool temperatures are combated via the insulating polypropylene and polyamide fibres, holding in warmth you generate when riding. And thanks to excellent breathability, your hands enjoy perfect temperature regulation whether you're riding fast or taking it slower. A tonal Assos logo knitted into the back of the hands provides a classy finishing touch to these versatile cycling gloves.
Setting a New Standard This isn't a jacket for taking it easy in. The aerodynamically efficient EQUIPE RS Winter Jacket excels the harder you press on the pedals and the more watts you push out. Created for the pro-athlete and demanding year-round rider, Assos have carefully and precisely engineered every textile to be 'activated' with effort. It creates a winter-proof jacket with the very best balance of insulation and exceptional breathability, perfectly regulating body temperature during your long training rides and races. Engineered Excellence Its exceptional performance is made possible by its unique construction, material mix and a new breed of remarkably light softshell fabrics called SPHERE. This replaces Assos' long-running Stratagon and offers membrane-equipped materials of variable thicknesses to tune waterproofing and flexibility perfectly for cycling hard. The inner front panel is made of several ultrathin layers of SPHERE. It's akin to a mid-layer chest protector and is brilliant at wicking moisture away to the outer layers. Then comes 3-layer wind- and waterproof SPHERE Light to the outside. Brushed on the inside it provides both warmth and weather protection. A thicker and more insulating version of the same 3-layer material is used across the upper back and forearms, boosting warmth. To boost climate control, Assos have deployed their Diffusor “valves” at the shoulders, allowing air inside to prevent overheating. Moving to the back, OSMOS Heavy is the most insulating of Assos' brushed-backed materials. And the jacket’s built-in mid-layer is made with lighter, more breathable OSMOS Light while the upper arms are wrapped in windproof warp-knit 3L ZigZaggy Foam. Assos Layering System The EQUIPE RS Winter Jacket forms part of a cycling layering system, engineered to work beautifully together. For most winter conditions it works perfectly as a stand-alone winter jacket. However, for extremely harsh conditions use it with an Assos Thermobooster Mid Layer for added insulation. For extra coverage in humid or extra-demanding weather, deploy your Clima Capsule Jacket over the top. Either of these Assos layers conveniently stows in the Winter Jacket's Thermobooster Pod along the upper back panel. Assos have thought of everything.
Temperature regulation, insulation and moisture control are all key performance characteristics of the latest ASSOSOIRES Winter Skin Layer. Worn as the base under your winter cycling outer and mid-layers, the blend of carbon and polypropylene yarns offers a significant improvement in both warmth and moisture control compared to its predecessors. Body warmth is maintained, heat is retained and at the same time, the yarns quickly draw moisture off your skin. This leaves you dry and comfortable and less prone to feeling cold from sweat build-up after harder efforts. 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. It's the perfect first layer of your winter cycling wardrobe.
The Superléger Short Sleeve Cycling Base Layer has its focus on two specific areas of cycling. Firstly, it's created for the specific demands of indoor training and racing. Worn as your only top layer during indoor training, it optimises moisture-wicking performance, ventilation and breathability, keeping you cooler as you generate increased levels of body heat and sweat. The body-mapped design makes use of two types of open mesh, promoting both airflow and moisture management. You'll also find the second area in which it excels is the hottest days of outdoor cycling. Paired with the lightest race jersey in your kit drawer, the blend of polypropylene yarns have been carefully engineered to offer extra moisture control and a lightly compressive fit for added comfort as the mercury rises. When it comes to fit, the Superléger uses Circular Seamless tubular knit technology to give a smooth, second-skin fit that's free of areas of irritation. Set-in sleeves are also used to allow for the optimal movement level, whether your main layer or under a cycling jersey.
If the weather is too mild for full winter kit but too chilly for shorts, the UMA GT Spring Fall Half Knickers C2 bridge the gap perfectly. It’s just what you need for much of your spring or autumn cycling. RX EVO Warmth In order to get the ideal balance of warmth, breathability and flexibility, Assos deploy their RX EVO textile.

The Assos regularFit strikes the perfect balance between streamlined performance and all-day comfort. Ultralight leg grippers see elastic woven through the leg bands, creating a secure hold minus restriction. Around the waist and hips, Assos have created their hipClick design. This combines elastic and mesh layers that give excellent comfort and full coverage. It also eliminates pressure and restriction while stabilising the knickers’ body panels and locks the seat insert in place. UMA GT C2 Seat Pad The women’s specific UMA GT C2 Seat Pad offers shock-absorbing support when you’re on the saddle. 9mm of compressive foam layers keep you comfortable on endurance rides, easing pressure across the sit bones. Thermoformed shaping also reduces irritation. You’ll also benefit from the 3D Waffle design. This 3-layer perforated foam offers increased breathability and reduced weight too. Lastly, the goldenGate stitching pattern holds the insert at the front and the back but allows it to float too, moving with your body rather than against it.

This is an upgrade to the standard neoprene rain glove and features Assos’ waterShield system to keep the rain at bay and prevent cold winds from robbing warmth. The fit of the gloves lets you use them as the basis for a complete glove system, easily accommodating inner liners to suit the prevailing weather and temperatures. Use them as a shell in more moderate conditions and add Assos’ own Spring Fall, Winter, or ULTRAZ Winter Gloves to suit. Long cuffs provide a secure fit with jerseys and jackets while also sealing out the elements. You’ll also enjoy a secure grip thanks to the silicone grip across the palms. They’re gloves you can wear year-round when the weather is not on your side.

This cosy mid-weight material offers just the right level of insulation for spring and autumn rides. The brushed inner face traps body heat and feels luxurious against the skin. Around the crotch, Assos uses lighter weight RX EVO Light. While still fleecy on the inside it’s excellent breathability prevents sweat build-up during higher tempo efforts. The outer of the shorts are also treated with a water-repellent finish, adding comfort on damp and drizzly days as water beads on the surface and rolls away. Full Body Support To the upper of the shorts, the Assos X-Frame design has been borrowed from the Equipe RSR summer bibs.

With feedback from WorldTour cyclists, the RS Leg Warmers TARGA offer race-ready performance that offers uncompromising comfort, warmth, and ease of removal.

It's breathable too, ensuring higher tempo efforts don't leave your legs drenched in sweat. The fit has been refined to reduce pedalling restrictions and there's greater thermal protection on the outside of the upper thigh and into the hip area. The combination of the stretch materials and Assos' raceFit gives a smooth, compressive fit that allows for easy mobility. If you're planning to spend the whole ride in your warmers, the low bulk skinGrip silicone gripper keeps them securely in place. But if you do decide to remove your warmers as you warm up, the ankle zipper makes this a much easier affair.

For the seasons that bookend winter, the Spring Fall Cap is ideally suited to those variable cycling conditions you’ll be sure to encounter.

During the transitional seasons, the Spring Fall Gloves EVO give you just the right degree of warmth for cooler days on the bike. The brushed back fabric holds onto body heat while at the same time it lets your skin breathe, preventing discomfort from sweat build-up. The low-bulk insulation also means you have excellent dexterity while the anatomic fit prevents bunching and gives a natural feel for your handlebars. The microfibre palm gives a secure grip of bars and hoods. Targeted padding also provides pressure relief and some welcome shock absorption over rougher roads. The extended cuff enables layering under jackets or warmers, and the pull tab makes for easy on and off. The ideal glove worn alone in cool weather or layer under the Assos Thermo Rain Shell Gloves when it’s wet.
When it comes to cycling in winter, it’s the extremities, and particularly the hands, that are often the first to suffer from the arrival of lower temperatures. But with the Winter Gloves EVO, and their insulated construction, you have a reliable barrier against the cold. The excellent windproof performance also prevents heat loss, boosting comfort still further. While not waterproof, a water-repellent finish certainly fends off intermittent light rain and spray from damp roads. Assos have also improved the palm when compared to previous iterations. The microfibre material is now less prone to soak up moisture and just like the rest of the glove it’s also thermal, breathable and water-repellent. Touchscreen compatibility also means easy control of your phone and GPS devices without exposing your hands to the cold. Across the palm, padding provides pressure relief while the anatomic shape prevents bunching and improves bar grip and dexterity. Extended cuffs also prevent gaps between gloves and jacket sleeves, creating a secure seal against the cold.
Qhubeka - Bicycles Change Lives Featuring vibrant, limited edition graphics, the UMA Bicycles Change Lives Jersey celebrates the work of Qhubeka, the charity helping change the lives of people via the power of the bicycle. With a bicycle, those facing extreme poverty can travel further and travel faster. It offers them the opportunity to generate income and transform their and their families lives. Qhubeka helps people get where they need to go. Performance Perfected Under a hot summer sky, the lightweight breathability of DUAL Tex fabric body panels maintains your cool comfort.

This warp-knit fabric provides gentle compression and outstanding moisture management too, elevating comfort on any bike ride you're on. Both body and sleeves also offer sun protection with each giving UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+. Flap-Free Fit Performance and comfort are harmonised with Assos' regularFit. While not as tight as their RaceFit, it still features careful body-mapping of seams and panels, giving you a streamlined fit that is smooth, flexible and comfortable. While flapping of fabric is kept to a minimum, you can still move easily and it won't penalise you for a few extra calories ingested at the cafe stop. Whether you’re lining up for a summer race series, enjoying a day-long training ride into the mountains or a gentle social spin to catch a morning coffee, the UMA jersey gets you there in style and comfort. Behind the Product To celebrate Assos' Qhubeka partnership for 2022, they created a contest where one winner’s artwork would become the graphics of this limited-edition jersey. 40% from every jersey sold goes directly to the Qhubeka program, supporting the shared mission of changing lives with bicycles. According to the artist, Stijn Dossche, “I created the design considering the typical African styles and patterns, adding multiple elements to show that the Qhubeka program reaches out to everyone. One of those patterns is scattered to show that there's still a lot of work to do.”
Made from 2-layer waterShield textile, the RSR Thermo Rain Socks add a waterproof and windproof protective layer between your regular cycling socks and your cycling shoes. For wet, milder days they are best used over summer socks and as temperatures fall switch to layering them over your winter-weight socks for extra warmth. The 20cm (8 inches) cuff is high enough to completely cover your base socks, ensuring full protection. Being worn inside your shoe also removes the risk of the crankarm and chainstay rub that overshoes often suffer from. These stormproof socks give you the benefits of overshoes but without the excess bulk

In order to get the best balance of warmth and breathability, Assos have used a blend of wool and synthetic fibres for their Ultraz Winter Socks EVO. The wool yarns provide natural insulation against the cold, even when wet, and give them odour resistance too. Meanwhile, the synthetic yarns give the socks plenty of stretch and deal quickly with sweat, ensuring your feet remain fresh and dry. When it comes to insulation, this has been boosted across the forefoot, providing outstanding warmth during the coldest days on the bike. Seamless construction provides an irritation-free fit while compressive support keeps your socks firmly in place and prevents bunching.
Ultraz is Assos' range of products for the deepest and coldest of winter conditions and the ASSOSOIRES Ultraz Winter Gloves live up to that billing, with remarkable levels of insulation while keeping bulk to a minimum. The secret to their performance is the combination of twinDeck, a highly insulating double-layer fabric, and their membrane–backed Airblock windproof textile, thermal lining, and neoprene cuffs. Together these materials grab body heat and simply won't let it go. The high level of breathability prevents sweaty hands - vital for long-ride comfort as a build-up of sweat soon leads to rapid cooling - and excellent water-resistance keeps your hands protected should rain showers, sleet or snow arrive. Low in volume, these gloves feature extended neoprene cuffs—for that crucial jacket-to-glove intersection - and targeted palm padding throughout. As far as your hands are concerned, winter riding will never have been so comfortable.
