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.

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.

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.
