When Fabian Cancellara rode to Gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics he wore the Assosoires Spring Fall Booties, ensuring that they performed at the highest level before being released to the public. They're designed to provide a good degree of protection in spring and autumn but with their wrinkle-free fit, they also enhance aerodynamic performance. The lightweight two-layer fabric maintains a reliable barrier against cold winds and shrugs off road spray and light rain while not compromising on breathability. The no-zip design reduces bulk, reduces seams where water could seep in and improves the aero fit. An overshoe for fast riding and racing in changeable weather conditions.
For their UMA GT Half Cycle Shorts, Assos start with their comfortably compressive Type.439 Diadema fabric with built-in odour control. This unique textile has 2 different rates of 4-way stretch, incredibly hard to achieve, ensuring an incredible fit with optimal flexibility for all-day pedalling comfort. It's at the waist where inferior shorts fall down but the UMA GT Half Cycle Shorts excel. The waist design features super-soft and breathable Aerofit fabric in a fold-over construction to the front, delivering incredible pressure-free comfort across the stomach. The same construction technique and fabric are used at the leg grippers, creating shorts that grip without excess pressure. Next comes the seat pad, and here you'll enjoy the support of Assos' exceptional UMA GT women's specific pad. The 8mm of memory foam is combined with a 3D waffle top sheet and 3 layers of perforated foam, to give the sit bones precise support while reducing bulk and enhancing breathability. With goldenGate technology, you'll also enjoy optimal freedom of movement for smooth pedalling.
Part of the ASSOS Layering System, the Skinfoil Summer NS (No-Sleeves) Base Layer weighs barely anything so you’ll hardly know it’s there. 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.
Be it the chill of brisk autumn rides, the cool temperature of early spring training or the lower temperatures of an early summer Gran Fondo start, the Spring Fall Leg Warmers provide warmth and flexibility to ensure your muscles remain supple and strong. Dealing quickly with sweat is just as vital for comfort too. And here the leg warmers also excel. The aggressive moisture-wicking fabric deals rapidly with any sweat you generate, preventing it from pooling on the skin and causing irritation. Not only are they great for lightweight insulation, but the warmers also provide protection against the sun's rays during a sunny day of cycling. Meanwhile, Assos' Circular Seamless technology virtually eliminates the bunching normally associated with leg warmers, making them barely noticeable once you pull them on. And should the temperatures rise high, they're light and easily packable in a jersey pocket.

While the fit of the Long Sleeve Trail Jersey is nice and loose for mobility, it's also tuned to minimise flapping fabric. It lets you flow with the trail, manoeuvre across technical trail features and enjoy easy movement whatever the trail demands of you. Along the forearms, Assos have utilised their proprietary dyneRope, a densely woven fabric that offers impressive abrasion resistance. This protects you from close shaves with 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 Long Sleeve Trail Jersey is designed to excel, whatever comes your way.
