Assos Women's UMA GT Half Shorts C2 (short)With a superbly comfortable and flexible fit plus a shorter leg length to ease the 'cycling tan' lines up the leg, the Assos Women's UMA GT Half Shorts C2 (short) are for those who prefer waist shorts but in no way want to compromise on performance. It may seem an easy task to make waist cycling shorts, and yes it's easy to make ok ones, but far harder to make great ones that don't pinch or add pressure. And you can rely on Assos to make great ones.With the absence of bib straps to give support, Assos created their zeroPressure waist design, with comfort and flexibility at its core. The sides and back provide the firm fit needed for a non-slip fit. While across the belly a flexible panel allows for low riding positions and the deep breathing of harder efforts. You'll also find a highly breathable mesh waistband extending upwards, ensuring there are no revealing gaps between your shorts and jersey.Endurance Fit and FeelWith a focus on long training rides, endurance events, indoor training, and everyday cycling comfort, Assos chose to use their Type.429 fabric for the UMA GTs. This highly functional fabric delivers a snug flexible fit to ensure you slip through the air with ease.It's also highly breathable, perfect for high summer rides and durable to resist the abuse of countless kilometres on the saddle. And with light compression, helps push back fatigue as your rides get longer, matching the longer days of summer.Assos AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) Regular Fit Finding the perfect harmony of long-ride comfort and smooth, flexible fit, the Assos AEPD Regular Fit is based upon Assos' race models but it's more accommodating of different shapes and sizes.The comfort also extends to the leg grippers. 3.5mm in depth and using LYCRA® with woven silicone grip, they provide a secure non-bulge fit while giving a smooth and uninterrupted transition from shorts to skin.Women's UMA GT C2 InsertWith 9mm of cushioning and the 'floating' design of goldenGate location to move the pad with your body not against you, the Women's UMA GT C2 pad is intensely comfortable, supportive and shock-absorbing. Compressive foam layers provide endurance-focused support on the saddle.The 3D Waffle design uses a three-layer construction, with perforated foams to enhance breathability and airflow.

Ideal for those cool fall and spring rides where added knee coverage and a touch of insulation make all the difference Assos crafted the Spring Fall Knickers to meet the demands of these variable conditions. The fit lines up with our regularFit design which means they’re lightly compressive where they need to be without being as tight as our racingFit design. To underscore that aspect we’ve pre-shaped and sewn the fabric panels to fully wrap and support the upper leg muscles knees and calves while in motion.

Assos ASSOSOIRES Ultraz Winter GlovesThe Assos ASSOSOIRES Ultraz Winter Gloves are for the cyclist who won't be kept indoors by plunging temperatures and cold, icy winds. With warm hands, those winter miles will fly by. Part of the Ultraz deep winter family, the ASSOSOIRES Ultraz Winter Gloves provide exceptional levels of warmth. Windproof Airblock, constructed in a double-layer design, is paired with warm and cosy brushed lycra thermal lining and finished off with a water-resistant PU membrane. It's this combination which keeps warmth well and truly locked inside and won't let cold winds, sleet, snow or rain showers rob it away. While warmth is taken care of, breathability is also of paramount importance too - sweaty hands can soon lead to cold hands - and so each material is chosen with an excellent level of breathability in mind to ensure your skin can breathe and sweat easily escapes. 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.Features:Materials: 85% Polyamide, 15% ElastanePalm: 100% PolyamideLining: 100% PolyesterAirblock: A windproof and highly breathable softshell constructed with a PU bonded membrane for added water-repellencyBrushed Lycra: A flexible, ultrasoft brushed textile developed to wick moisture and add light insulationtwinDeck: Double-layer fabric construction boosts insulation using a combination of brushed Lycra and membrane-backed Airblock textilesMicrofiber Palm: A lightweight, soft material that promotes grip, while also supporting and protecting the handPalm Padding: Strategically positioned pads flex with hand to eliminate hot spots and bunchingAnatomic Cut: 'No wrinkle' construction creates a 3D curved structure, made possible using three separate textiles and five panelsReflective Accents: Small strips placed on the sides of the pinkies for added visibilityBuy Assos Cycle Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Assos MILLE GT Wind Vest C2While the Assos MILLE GT Wind Vest C2 is their entry-level gilet, improvements to make it lighter, more breathable and more rustle-free ensure it offers the best performance yet.When you're cycling it's always worth having an emergency layer to keep off a chill. Whether it's a chilly headwind or a fast descent after a tough hill climb, the MILLE GT Wind Vest C2 makes sure the cold can't get in.Performance PerfectedThe C2 features a number of improvements over its predecessor. The fit has been improved thanks to a more flexible wind-blocking material to the front. A lighter-weight stretch mesh back also improves the fit and brings the weight down to a measly 75 grams (medium). The armhole elastic is also improved, offering a better fit that reduces friction with your jersey. And once the weather improves or you reach the warmth of the valley, the vest will roll up and pack easily into a jersey pocket.Featured FabricsTo 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.

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.Features:Materials: 87% Polyamide, 13% ElastaneBreaker fabric wind-blocking and water-repellent front panelTear-resistant bi-stretch Ventamesh rear panelSuper-packableregularFit: A body-mapped performance fit that is a little less aggressive than Assos' racingFit - the best of both worlds, where speed and comfort convergeWeight:75g (M)Buy Assos Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Extreme insulated protection for extreme weather the Ultraz Glove is the ultimate platform for weatherproof cycling when time off the bike isn’t an option. When the conditions are extreme in high summer or deepest coldest winter cycling equipment is either equally extreme or it’s useless. Compared to the standard Winter gloves the Ultraz model adds a neoprene cuff and an insulating lining to a more robust softshell material boosting heat retention behind the breathable weatherproof exterior. Winter cycling can be a peaceful meditative experience but only if you’re properly equipped. Back: 85%PA 15%EA Palm: 100%PA Cuff: 100%PA Lining: 100%PL
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.
