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.
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.
Temperature regulation, insulation and moisture control are all key performance characteristics of the latest ASSOSOIRES Winter Skin Layer. Worn as the base under your winter cycling outer and mid-layers, the blend of carbon and polypropylene yarns offers a significant improvement in both warmth and moisture control compared to its predecessors. Body warmth is maintained, heat is retained and at the same time, the yarns quickly draw moisture off your skin. This leaves you dry and comfortable and less prone to feeling cold from sweat build-up after harder efforts. Elastane fibres are also used to give the base layer its close to the body stretch fit and allow for easy mobility too. And with a Circular Knit construction, there are no seams to cause undue irritation. It's the perfect first layer of your winter cycling wardrobe.
Using Assos' Linear Seamless technology, the ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Liner Gloves provide a silky-smooth fit and no seams between your fingers for enhanced comfort and dexterity. Raw-cut cuffs also add to the luxurious feel and allow a smooth fit with your jackets and jerseys as well as a smooth fit under winter gloves. Cool temperatures are combated via the insulating polypropylene and polyamide fibres, holding in warmth you generate when riding. And thanks to excellent breathability, your hands enjoy perfect temperature regulation whether you're riding fast or taking it slower. A tonal Assos logo knitted into the back of the hands provides a classy finishing touch to these versatile cycling gloves.
The ASSOSOIRES Robo Foil G2 Cap is made from hydrophobic fibres that pull moisture away from the skin while also pushing it to the outer surface of the cap where it can evaporate away. This keeps your head cooler and drier when compared to caps made from traditional polyester blends. The Circular Seamless technology eliminates side seams leaving a smooth and super soft feel against the skin. The ultraviolet protection factor of 30 keeps you nicely covered when the sun is beating down.
Made using their Circular Seamless tubular knit technology, the Assos ASSOSOIRES Neck Foil does away with seams to leave an ultrasoft and smooth feel against the skin. The polyamide yarns are incredibly good at wicking away moisture, giving you a breathable extra layer around the neck and head which leaves you dry and sweat-free come what may.
While it may seem counter-intuitive to wear a headband when it’s hot, the ultralight ASSOSOIRES Summer Headband makes perfect sense. Made from functional fibres, it deals with perspiration very efficiently, drawing it away from your skin so as to leave you dry and comfortable when the heat is on.
Rather than a traditional 'tube' construction, Assos gives their ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Neck Foil triangle side panels to more closely follow the shape of your face and neck. And when used alongside the Circular Seamless construction, which removes the need for seams, this unique design of neck tube offers superb levels of comfort. The ultrasoft polypropylene fibres provide excellent levels of breathability so not only are you kept warm you won't get too hot and sweaty either. It's a winter cycling accessory that while not glamourous will add another level of comfort to your ride.
To provide waterproof and breathable protection over the shoe box, the ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Toe Covers G2 use Assos' 3L NEOS Light softshell. This is a tried and trusted fabric used for many of their waterproof jackets and features an ultralight membrane to keep the elements out. All the overshoe's seams are taped too, ensuring cold winds, icy road spray and rain showers can't creep inside when you're pedalling. On the underside of the toe covers, you'll find a tough reinforced material that boosts both durability and grip. A silicone inner band holds the covers in place and raw-cut zeroCuffs ensure a smooth finish that won't spoil the look of your favourite road shoes.
Comfortable, supportive, warm and visible, the Assos ASSOSOIRES Winter Cycling Socks tick all the right boxes when it comes to cycling in winter. A unique cotton-wrapped elastomer blend provides a lightly compressive fit for brilliant comfort, while also keeping the foot and ankle warm. The blended knit is also exceptionally good at dealing with moisture build-up, transferring sweat through the yarns to the outside, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable inside your cycling shoes. The seamless construction removes any irritation, a ribbed arch provides enhanced support across the foot and, a reflective band up the back keeps you safe and seen in lower light conditions. With the winter blue climaCode, you'll also know which socks to grab from your sock drawer when winter hits.
