Using the insulating power of Assos’ warmest 290g/m² OSMOS Heavy material, the Winter Face Mask EVO offers all over warmth when you’re facing training rides in the freezing cold. The soft and cosy inner face feels great to wear while the abrasion-resistant outer makes it tough too. It also offers excellent thermoregulation, maintaining your warmth without overheating, Across the throat and chin, you’ll benefit from the extra weather protection of SPHERE 2-layer Ultra Hole membrane. This gives protection from road spray and the bite of windchill. It also features a four-way stretch fit and is perforated with micro-holes to increase breathability without sacrificing protection. TwinDeck construction also adds two-layer protection in vulnerable areas while the extended apron extends coverage below your jersey or jacket collar. A raw cut face opening provides a smooth and comfortable fit while the opening can be stretched over the chin to increase ventilation when you need it.
During autumn the high temperatures of summer cycling are a fast-fading memory. Or you’ll be glad to be waving goodbye to the freezing temperatures of winter as milder spring weather arrives. 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. Both breathable and quick-wicking, it deals quickly with sweat build-up, leaving you always feeling fresh. For the sleeves, Assos uses their Push-Pull textile. 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.
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.
