A waterproof rain jacket designed and tested for the specific demands of trail riding in the harshest wettest conditions. To create a superlight (175g) protective rain jacket for all-mountain riding we began by taking a page out of our road shell playbook and recruited its exceptionally breathable waterproof softshell material making it the ideal canvas to begin with for our TRAIL Rain Jacket. The next phase involved designing the jacket around our trailFit which is trim enough to avoid snagging singletrack tree limbs and boulders yet loose enough to give you a free range of upper body movement. Add fully taped seams throughout zippered front pockets and a double-slider zipper to the package and you have a watertight shell for any and all adventures where rain is in the forecast. 75%PL 16%PA 9%EA
Adaptable all-mountain riding shorts with a streamlined design ultralight textiles and comfort-boosting features. By poring over other “baggies” we saw how their panels always bunch in odd places and the addition of fasteners webbing and zippers all contribute to unnecessary weight and pinching during pedaling. Our minimal approach solves these issues with a waistband that smoothly holds the shorts in place a cut that’s trim to avoid saddle snag a length that’s ideal with or without pads and a versatile new fabric that flexes with each pedal stroke. 85%PA 15%EA
Competitively tuned bib shorts for cross-country racing and training with more speed than baggies and far more durability than Lycra. Sticks and stones shred lightweight bib shorts and they’re often unavoidable obstacles on trails. Our XC Bib Shorts balance the breathability and stretch of our road bibs with the thigh-girding protection of ripstop panels on the outer legs. The final construction is the result of prototype testing on the legs of our World Cup riders who swept the 2017 team standings while assuring us that these are the most breathable abrasion-resistant bib shorts they’ve ever worn. 65%PA 25%EA 10%PE
A lightly insulated riding hoodie for variable spring and fall conditions merging breathability and protective features with a trail-focused fit. We wanted something that would pair well with our SS and LS TRAIL Jerseys for those cool spring and fall conditions where the temperature often fluctuates day to day. The TRAIL Spring/Fall Hooded Jacket checks all the right boxes complete with light insulation breathable materials a trail-focused fit and protective features throughout. 67%PL 26%PA 6%EA 1%PE
Bib shorts built for cross-country racing and training balancing the best qualities of road and mountain shorts in a World Cup-proven design. We’ve sacrificed far too many pairs of road-only shorts to the capricious trail gods so we engineered a more durable solution that balances the breathability and stretch of our road bibs with the thigh-girding protection of ripstop panels on the outer legs. The final construction is the result of prototype testing on the legs of our World Cup riders who swept the 2017 team standings while assuring us that these are the most breathable abrasion-resistant bib shorts they’ve ever worn. 65%PA 25%EA 10%PE
Superlight short-finger gloves perfect for warm conditions where maximum breathability is a must. We prioritized articulation and comfortable protection for the RS Aero SF Gloves which combine five different textiles 10 panels and three components to achieve these characteristics—making the gloves anything but standard. Their underlying “no wrinkle” silhouette has been cut to form a curved streamlined 3D shape mimicking the intricate anatomical structure of the human hand as it grips the bars.

Superlight full-finger glove protection for warm conditions engineered with an anatomical low-volume fit. Tactile feedback lightweight protection and overall comfort were our primary focal points for the EQUIPE RS Aero FF gloves each of which has been addressed through careful textile development and patterning.

Abrasion-resistant socks that bring ankle protection and total comfort to fast rowdy trail rides. We engineered the TRAIL Socks for all-mountain riders who prefer a less compressive more robust sock construction better equipped to shrug off grasping trailside brush. Off-road pedigree doesn’t mean stifling though; we made wicking and cooling breathability as much of a priority here as in our lightweight road socks. 68%PA 30%FL 2% EA
A pre-ride necessity that rehydrates replenishes and protects the skin in addition to protecting it from friction-caused irritation. Cycling is hard enough without lingering irritation or other health issues caused by saddle friction so we suggest that every good ride starts with a good dose of preventative body maintenance. Our Chamois Crème rehydrates replenishes and reduces the risk of irritation and inflammation and it’s engineered to prevent damage to your shorts’ inserts.
The entry into our Race Series EQUIPE R combines technology from the EQUIPE RS system with simplified everyday utility. The EQUIPE R is built with our signature A-Lock Engineering construction that adapts technologies from the WorldTour-proven EQUIPE RS. It maintains racingFit stability with a muscle-wrapping butterfly panel and the new Type.443 textile which compresses and breathes like the EQUIPE RS but with a deeper black color. Monofilament elastic in the bib straps reduces weight and dries faster than dual-layer models and the shorts are equipped with our core racing insert. 80%PA 20%EA
A new bib short platform for committed daily riding whether that’s dedicated training regimens the weekly crit series or weekend centuries. Assos wanted an all-inclusive solution for daily riding. That’s simple in concept; it’s more complicated in the execution. To meet their expectations they built the premier UMA GT on a platform of trickledown tech including an updated AEPD fit profile and bib suspension infrastructure. Assos also updated the insert reducing the footprint boosting cooling and adding an aesthetic touch with the Odor Control Top Sheet Tex in Sugar Blue.
A windproof ultralight vest developed for maximum protection and minimal bulk. The stripped-back engineering and construction of this high-performance cycling vest has one purpose: to create a packable ultralightweight water-repellent shell which is equally at home tucked in your pocket or on your body. 47%PL 37%PA 16%EA
