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.
While the fit of the Women's Long Sleeve Trail 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. In key areas, Assos have utilised their proprietary dyneRope, a densely woven fabric that offers impressive abrasion resistance, protecting you from trailside trees, overgrowth and the general scrapes of riding off-road. The jersey itself 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.
In order to extract the very best performance from yourself, you’ll want the best kit. And when it comes to slippery cycling jerseys, the EQUIPE RS Summer Jersey Prof Edition can certainly rank up amongst the best. The jersey has had every detail scrutinised and examined to optimise both fit and performance, benefiting you when it comes riding hard and fast in training and racing. The aeroFit is extremely close-fitting, and while it may feel restrictive off the bike, it really comes into its own when the pressure is on and you're pushing the power through the pedals. Functional Fabrics After the fit, we come to functional fabrics. First comes the technical miniCheck Tex fabric. This 3D knit fabric is extremely elastic to give you the close aero fit needed to go fast without wasting your hard-earned watts. But not just that, it's highly breathable too, ensuring you don't get overwhelmed with sweat when your race and training efforts intensify. Meanwhile, the rear of the jersey sees Assos' featherweight Stabilizer textile deployed. This holds the jersey smoothly in place thanks to its limited vertical stretch, keeping airflow smooth and uninterrupted. Lastly, taking into account a low and aggressive riding position, the raw bonded sleeves, yoke and pockets ensure smooth transitions while remaining incredibly flexible. Practicality Built-in While the Equipe RS is, of course, speed-focused, Assos haven't overlooked more practical requirements. An ultralight bonded cam-lock zipper to the front gives you control of ventilation, while the triple ramp pocket design allows very easy access to all your essentials. A lightweight taped waist keeps bulk low, the fit smooth and it's more durable than previous versions. Proven time again in the frenetic world of the pro peloton, the Assos EQUIPE RS Summer Jersey Prof Edition has certainly made its mark on the World Tour. And now you can enjoy the same benefits, minus team logos but with an added subtle but stylish fade print.
Part of the ASSOS Layering System, the ASSOSOIRES Summer Short Sleeve Skin Layer weighs in some 25% less than the Skinfoil base layer that preceded it. And with the Circular Seamless construction its brilliantly comfortable against the skin too, with no side seams to cause irritation. Then we come to moisture management, and here it's brilliant too. The blend of carbon and polypropylene provide a major step up in both breathability and sweat-wicking performance compared to previous generation base layers. And with anti-bacterial properties also present, it's a base layer that leaves you drier and fresher, even during the hottest and sweatiest of bike rides. To get the best out of your performance in the heat, it's the ideal start.
With the hands leading the way as you power through the air, it's an area ripe for making some aerodynamic gains. The RSR Speed Gloves have been created to complement the rest of the WorldTour proven EQUIPE RSR racing equipment and get you as many aero gains as possible. Those aero-gains begin with the use of the Windchannel Stripes material. This Lycra® blend warp knit gives an incredibly snug and smooth fit of the hands with little to no creasing. It's carefully deployed to reduce drag, particularly effective when you're on your aero-bar extensions during a time trial. Assos also give the gloves longer fingers and cuffs, further consolidating the aerodynamic second-skin fit. The bi-stretch property of Windchannel Stripe also offers light compression for greater comfort during high exertion efforts. The unpadded, high-grip palm offers a secure and natural feel on the bars while reducing weight. Lastly, raw-cut edges provide smooth transitions between glove and skin, enhancing streamlining and adding comfort.

With their development in the wind tunnel plus feedback and use by Pro riders in the WorldTour, you can be confident the RSR Speed Booties deliver meaningful gains when you're seeking a competitive advantage over your rivals. Starting at the ankles and cuffs, Assos use their aerodynamic Windchannel Stripes material. This Lycra® blend warp knit gives an incredibly snug and smooth fit with little to no creasing. As speeds increase it reduces drag to less than that of just your bare skin. The Zero Cuff design also gives an incredibly smooth fit, eliminating the ridge between shoe cover and skin. Over the front of the foot, you'll find EVA KANT material. The high-stretch characteristic of the fabric makes it ideal for aero applications, keeping the fit with your cycling shoes as snug as possible. And with wind- and waterproof protection, racing fast in inclement weather presents no problems.
Slipping easily under your cycle helmet, Assos construct the GTO Cycling Cap in their highly elastic Speedy Textile, facilitating a low-bulk second-skin fit - it's certainly not the old-fashioned high-luft cotton cap you may be used to. The close fit also optimises wicking performance - with little gap between skin and cap moisture is quickly drawn away before it can run into your eyes. Assos has also redesigned the visor. With its low-profile, semi-squared there's less material, it conforms to the head better and eliminates the pressure often experienced with more traditional crescent-shaped visors. Finished with odorControl this is a cap to keep you feeling cool, dry and fresh.
It's all very well storing gloves, warmers of emergency rain jackets in a cycling jersey pocket, but they're exposed to the weather - not ideal if you have to pull them on as the weather changes. The Apparel Pocket keeps those items safely out of the weather and frees up space for other essentials in your jersey pockets. The zipped closure makes it easy to open and close and the clamshell design features a large compartment for a jacket on one half and 2 pockets for smaller items on the other half.
The MILLE GT Jersey C2 EVO is made for the efforts of endurance cycling - where comfort, smooth aerodynamics and efficient moisture management all combine to great effect over those countless hours in the saddle. Engineered Excellence The jersey has been re-engineered with new materials used to save weight and improve performance. 'Big Dual' fabric is used across the body, offering excellent breathability and quick drying times so as to prevent you from feeling damp as the kilometres tick by. Sleeves and collar use 'Speedy' fabric, an ultralight, fast-drying material that shaves 15 grams off the previous jersey weight. The collar and fit across the chest and throat have also been updated, reducing pressure and making sure nothing restricts deep breathing. Assos have also used bonded hem and zipper, lessening friction between layers and minimising rippling across the tummy while you're in a riding position. Ride Ready Essentials As you'd expect of Assos, the small details that contribute to a great jersey are all there. The pockets can be loaded up but resist sagging thanks to their supportive Sens Strong warp-knit construction. The 'Triple Ramp' pocket design also features flexible fabric panels, creating effective lids to secure the contents. Reflective detail below the pocket keeps you visible on rides that can stretch from sunrise to beyond sunset. With its regularFit, the MILLE GT Jersey C2 EVO also fits beautifully - streamlined for smooth airflow but with the space to enjoy a good cake at the coffee shop and for all-day cycling comfort.
A no-compromise race short, the EQUIPE R Bib Shorts S9 have premium features, such as Assos' A-Lock Engineering construction and muscle-wrapping butterfly panels to give shorts that fit beautifully and allow a smooth pedal stroke at all times. Type.443 textile is used to give a compressive fit, supporting hard-working muscles while remaining highly flexible too. Not only supportive, but it's highly breathable too, maintaining comfort when the racing gets serious or training efforts ramp up. Micro-adjusted shaping wraps the large muscles with compressive support in a standard leg length. Engineered comfort With their X-Frame construction, inherited from the EQUIPE RS line, the EQUIPE R Bib Shorts S9 offer an incredibly secure and comfortable fit. This technology prevents sagging, maintains the seat pad in a perfect position and keeps the fit locked in during bouts of intense cycling. Monofilament elastic used in the bib straps also keeps the weight low, provides a secure fit and dries incredibly quickly too. The ultralight leg grippers make use of compressive elastic bands and silicone microdot grippers, maintaining a secure fit that won't irritate. zeroPressure Waist technology zeroPressure Waist technology provides an impressively comfortable and flexible fit but one that remains securely in place without restriction or pinching. The waist system also features an upgraded Tech Sheen Mesh area, improving breathability. EQUIPE R S9 Seat Pad Packed with features, the EQUIPE R S9 Seat Pad is made for comfort on bike rides of any length. Thermoformed 9mm foam offers a smooth fit and both support and shock-absorbing comfort while also being breathable. The pad also makes use of Assos' 3D waffle construction, with three-layer, perforated foam giving excellent breathability and eliminating excess bulk. Lastly, goldenGate construction sees the insert anchored front and back, allowing the pad to move in harmony with your body movements rather than against them.
The MILLE GT Wind Jacket C2 is a cycling jacket you'll find useful year-round. Layer it over a summer jersey for protection on descents, as conditions turn cool and damp in spring or slip on over thermal layers in colder autumn and winter conditions. Improvements to the fit and fabrics provide even greater comfort and performance. The supple windproof fabrics allow better adaption to the body, virtually eliminating flapping and rustling in the wind without any compromise to protection levels. Once the weather improves or the descent ends, simply roll it up and it fits easily into a cycling jersey pocket. Featured Fabrics The body of the GT Wind makes use of Assos' Breaker fabric. This wind-blocking textile prevents cold winds from getting inside while a water-repellent finish shrugs off a light rain shower. To the sides and sleeves, Assos deploy their stretch Sens Super material. These panels maintain a smooth fit and offer excellent breathability and airflow, preventing you from overheating and getting too sweaty. Assos regularFit The MILLE GT Wind Jacket C2 benefits from Assos' regularFit. It's streamlined enough to minimise wasted energy but has the space to allow easy movement and to fully enjoy carbo-loading at a mid-ride cafe stop.
