To take on the demands of cool and changeable conditions Assos engineered two new textiles specifically for the task and used them for the Women's UMA GT Spring Fall Half Tights. First comes RX EVO, this is used across most of the tight, it's cosy and warm and features an ECO water–repellent treatment for extra comfort in damp, misty and drizzly conditions. Meanwhile, the back of the legs features RX Light, a highly breathable material with extra flexibility, ensuring you don't overheat and you also enjoy unrestricted pedalling. With a fold-over front panel design at the waist, you'll also enjoy a smooth, pressure-free transition between the body and fabric. Speaking of flexibility, the Women's UMA GT Spring Fall Half Tights have a lightly compressive fit and are cut with Assos' regularFit meaning they're performance orientated but not as tight as a pure race-bred garment. The high degree of stretch means the tights flex with your pedal stroke and the tailoring ensures you enjoy complete support and comfort of the upper leg muscles, knees, and calves while in motion. Meanwhile, when you're on the saddle, support is provided by the women's specific UMA S7 EVO pad, it features 8mm of memory foam, 3DWaffle, a patented, three-layer perforated foam and goldenGate technology to deliver exceptional comfort on any ride, long or short. Too mild for winter tights but too cold for shorts? It's here that the UMA GT Spring Fall Half Tights come into their own, balancing warmth, breathability and weather protection for those days when you're just not sure what spring or autumn cycling days have in store.
When it comes to cycling during the transitional seasons of the year you need equipment which can offer both versatile weather protection and comfort whether riding fast or slow. The MILLE GT jacket spring fall is engineered to cope with a wide variety of conditions by using technical fabrics to combat any eventuality. Firstly comes Neos Mild fabric, a patented 3 layer windproof and highly breathable 4-ways stretch softshell fabric, it uses a PU bonded membrane to give a high degree of water-repellency. Next, extra breathability is taken care of by Assos' proven circular-knit Triangle textile, deployed on the back panel, ensuring you don't feel cold and clammy on the inside. Then the arms are made with RX fabric, the lightly brushed inner face provides both comfort and insulation. Taken together these fabrics provide a jacket which can be used for faster, more intense rides in cold winter weather or steady rides in cooler spring conditions, keeping you at an optimal temperature and perfectly protected. The Assos regularFit fits beautifully when you drop into a riding position and it gives space for easy layering and complete mobility. Raglan sleeves eliminate shoulder seams and allow a greater degree of motion while a triangulated abdominal pattern ensures the smoothest of fits around the waist. Technologies NEOS MILD: A patented 3L windproof and highly breathable softshell constructed with a PU bonded membrane for added water-repellency. RX: A brushed bi-stretch warp-knit fabric developed to wick moisture and add light insulation. Type.157 Stripe Tex: Our proprietary breathable and stretchy circular knit textile with built-in UV protective and odour control. 2W waistWave: Stitch construction on the waist preserves the natural stretch of the front panel’s textile, absent of elastic material. Triple Ramp Pockets: Flexible fabric panels sewn into each of the three pockets create “lids” for your cargo, covering the contents for added security and stability. Full-Length Zipper: Temperature regulation courtesy of a lightweight full-length zipper with camlock. Reflective Accents: Placed on the sides of the outer pockets for added visibility. Abdominal Cut: Triangulated pattern on the abdominal area provides a smooth, comfortable wrap. Raglan Cut: Sleeve design free of a traditional shoulder seam, continuing up to the neck for greater range of motion. regularFit: Optimised for total comfort in the riding position, with a more relaxed cut than our second-skin racingFit.
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.
It can be difficult to decide what to wear during spring and autumn, full winter kit can leave you too hot, too sweaty and then easily chilled when you stop, while summer kit is too thin to offer the warmth needed even at higher intensities. The Assos Mille GT Spring Fall Jersey aims to solve that dilemma. To the front, RX brushed back fabric adds a degree of insulating protection, trapping a layer of warm air, while fast-drying and highly breathable Stripe Tex fabric to the back ensure you'll not become overloaded with cold sweat when riding hard. Warmth can easily be tailored to suit during transitional seasons, and it serves as the perfect jersey for race warm-ups or as an extra mid-layer in the winter. Thanks to a regular fit of the Mille GT Jersey you get a garment that is less compressive than a racing fit, but more fitted than the comfort fit. It bridges the gap between the two fits and provides the ideal balance between comfort, freedom of movement and performance. For practicality, you'll find three rear pockets that are the perfect height for easy access, alongside a 'triple ramp’ pocket concept that prevents any contents from escaping while riding hard. This is the perfect three-season jersey with a touch of warmth to keep off a chill but the breathability to cope with intensive efforts.
