Assos' primary aim with the TRAIL TACTICA Liner Shorts HP T3 has been to engineer a liner short that's incredibly light, impressively breathable and yet retains off-road-ready durability and protection. This is a liner you'll love to wear with your favourite over-shorts. Superlight Performance The Tactica liners make use of incredibly light materials to keep you cool and fresh during intense off-road rides. This includes a mesh with hydrophilic treatment that speeds moisture evaporation, keeping you cooler for longer. At the waist, the zeroPressure construction does what it says, offering a soft and flexible fit that keeps the shorts in place without undue pressure. A high degree of breathability keeps you feeling fresh during high-intensity XC and gravel racing. More Protection If you find yourself sliding out on loose trails and gravel, the large ImpactorTec T3 hip pad lessens the chance of painful gravel rash. With a jersey-soft inner face and increased cooling, there's no compromise to comfort either. Off-Road HP T3 Seat Pad Using 9mm thick shock-absorbing foam layers, the Off-Road HP T3 Seat Pad is made specifically for the more upright riding position associated with gravel and mountain bikes and soaks up trail chatter. Thermoformed shapes also reduce ridges and irritation when pedalling while allowing freedom of movement, ideal when tackling sinewy singletrack. The T3 also sees familiar Assos pad features deployed to deliver airy comfort. The goldenGate 2.0 lets the pad move with your body rather than in opposition to it. 3D Waffle, a 3-layer perforated foam, reduces weight while optimising breathability. And kratercooler technology sees perforation across the leading edge, drawing air across the pad and keeping you cooler and drier.
Be it a long weekend ride or grabbing an hour of biking before or after work, the Women's UMA GT Summer Half Tights C2 offer optimal comfort when pedalling.

Comfortably supportive Assos' Type.429 textile offers welcome muscle support, fending off muscle fatigue for as long as possible. A high degree of flexibility and breathability also keeps you fresh for the long haul. Assos' hipClick construction offers a high-ride fit that locks your tights comfortably in place and makes sure the seat pad remains exactly where it should be. hipClick also features Tech Sheen Mesh fabric. With its asymmetrical stretch, it offers a supportive fit around the waist and its open structure ensures sweat escapes before causing discomfort. Women's UMA GT C2 seat pad Packed with features, the Women's UMA GT C2 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.
You can never tell with the weather - even when the forecast is good you can see a sudden cool wind pick up or you'll feel the chill as you descend off a high mountain peak. The MILLE GT Wind Vest C2 is made to be super packable, making sure you always have windproof protection to hand when cycling. Performance Perfected The team at Assos have improved the fit, with a more flexible wind-blocking front and elastic mesh rear panel offering a more snug fit that also rustles less when you're at speed. There's also an improved armhole elastic, reducing friction but maintaining a perfect fit. The updated mesh back also reduces weight, bringing the GT Wind Vest C2 in at an impressive 75 grams (size medium). Once the weather clears or you hit the warmth of the valley, it packs up easily into a jersey pocket. Featured Fabrics To the front of the gilet, Assos' Breaker fabric prevents cold winds from getting inside while a water-repellent finish shrugs off a light rain shower. To the back, tear-resistant and bi-stretch Ventamesh maintains excellent breathability and airflow, preventing you from overheating and getting too sweaty. Assos regularFit The MILLE GT Wind Vest 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.
Winter is where you lay the foundation for summer fitness and with the Women's UMA GT Ultraz Winter Bib Tights you've no excuses when it comes to getting those base miles racked up. Assos' most protective regularFit bib-tights, they feature a double-layer construction and a membrane-backed front panel to give you outstanding levels of insulation, weather protection and breathability. TwinDeck Protection Insulation and weather-protection start with the highly insulating brushed-back RX Heavy matched to an outer layer of ultrathin 2-layer softshell, with PU bonded membrane. This TwinDeck construction provides incredible warmth as well as a 100% windproof barrier and excellent water resistance. This particular lay-up is used across the leg and glute panels to fend off cold temperatures, rain, road spray and even snow. And Breathe Being warm is all well and good but cycling can soon cause a sweat. Don't deal with this excess moisture and you'll very quickly start to feel uncomfortable and chilly. To deal with this Assos deploy their highly breathable RX Light over the back of the legs, letting sweat easily escape before discomfort sets in. This also has the added benefit of being highly flexible, giving you smooth and unrestricted pedalling. Speaking of flexibility, the UMA GT Ultraz are tailored with Assos' women's regularFit. This offers a lightly compressive fit but one you'll find is easy to move about in. Every panel is shaped to flex and follow the body through the pedal stroke, offering the ultimate in flexibility and comfort. Women's UMA GT EVO Insert On the saddle, you'll enjoy the support and comfort of the women's specific Women's UMA GT EVO seat pad. Reversed seams offer unrivalled comfort when pedalling while 8mm Memory foam provides superb vibration damping and support across your sit bones. The patented 3-layer foam design, Assos call it 3D waffle, increases breathability and eliminates excess weight too. And lastly, the goldenGate technology gives you a pad that moves with you rather than acting against you.
To give a versatile and packable jacket, the MILLE GT Wind Jacket 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.

The combination strikes a balance of low pack weight and protection son you're happy to take the GT jacket on every ride without sacrificing too much space in your pockets. In terms of the fit of the jacket, 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 Winter Cap is made with Assos’ twinDeck double layer insulation system, holding securely onto the body heat you generate when cycling. Excellent breathability also prevents you from feeling a chill when you’re working up a sweat. The skull cap is of a circular seamless construction, giving it a snug but flexible fit. This makes sure it slips easily under your cycle helmet while the design also accommodates both long and short hair.

Women's UMA GT Evo Seat Pad When you're on the saddle, support is provided by the women's specific UMA GT EVO pad.
