Come spring and autumn, temperatures may not be as extreme as the depths of winter, but a short sleeve jersey, arm warmers, and gilet may not cut it when it comes to comfort and warmth. The Equipe RS Spring Fall Jacket is there to fill the gap in those hard to dress for transitional months. Made from Push-Pull exterior and more insulating Rhombus on the inside, the twinDeck construction offers an incredible combination of insulation and breathability. This is then complemented by Assos' unique and exclusive Diffusor 'air-valve' system on the shoulders - these vents draw in cooling air to circulate between the two layers, preventing overheating and regulating body temperature. When you're on the limit, there's now no need to unzip to cool the body and you can remain low and aero - perfect for racing. The Equipe RS Spring/Fall collection is designed to allow riders to train harder (higher HR and watts) at lower temperatures while maintaining that perfect micro-climate - not too clammy, not too cold, not too hot. Assos aeroFit As you'd expect of a cycling jacket with race-ready credentials, the Assos aeroFit delivers a very close to the body, compressive fit to ensure reduced excess drag and no wasted energy when you're in the pace-line. The sleeves are made with Assos' SONIC fabric, a lightly brushed insulating fabric that perfectly moulds to the arms and features ribbed detailing to improve aerodynamics. Raw cut edges ensure a low profile fit with gloves and maintains the aerodynamics of the body. Whether it's testing fitness in fast and furious early season races or slow and steady autumn training, whatever your ride you'll remain perfectly comfortable when you pull on the Equipe RS Spring Fall Jacket during the transitional seasons of the year.
Created to give you extra warmth without sacrificing aero performance, the Equipe RS Spring Fall Aero Cycling Jersey comes into its own when cool weather begins to make an impact on your choice of cycling kit. Aero. Warm. Comfortable. Think of those early and late season races, where intensity is high but temperatures are on the wane. You'll more often than not begin with a gilet on, but be pulling it off when the speed picks up, then pulling it on again for a chilly descent - a definite hassle. When racing or training, the Equipe RS Spring Fall Aero reduces the need for such layering. This is all thanks to its lightweight two-layer, highly breathable, thermal body fabric locking in warmth. Meanwhile, unique cooling Diffusor 'air valves' to the front regulate the body temperature. These Assos-exclusive vents draw in air from the outside and allow it to circulate between the double-layer fabric, regulating body temperature while maintaining aerodynamics - no more having to unzip a jersey and spoil your aero tuck when you want to dump excess heat and humidity. Assos aeroFit As you'd expect of a cycling jersey with race-ready credentials, the Assos aeroFit delivers a very close to the body, compressive fit, ensuring no wasted energy or excess drag when you're in the pace-line. The sleeves are made with Assos' SONIC fabric, a lightly brushed insulating material that perfectly moulds to the arms and features ribbed detailing to improve aerodynamics. Raw cut edges ensure a smooth and streamlined transition from garment to skin. An aerodynamic insulated race jersey with the sleek, streamlined performance of your summer kit and added warmth for falling temperatures, the Equipe RS Spring Fall Aero Jersey is essential for the year-round racer.
It can be difficult to decide what to wear on the bike during the changeable conditions of spring and autumn. Full winter kit is often just too hot, too sweaty and leaves you damp and chilled when you stop. However, summer kit is too thin to offer the warmth needed even at higher intensities. The Women's UMA GT Spring Fall Jersey is Assos' answer. How does it balance warmth and breathability across a wide range of conditions though? It starts at the front where RX brushed back fabric adds a degree of insulating protection, trapping a layer of warm air against the body. Meanwhile, fast-drying and highly breathable Stripe Tex fabric to the back ensures you'll not become overwhelmed with cold sweat when riding hard. Warmth and protection can easily be tailored to suit, ideal during transitional seasons. Wear on its own for cool conditions or add base and outer shells to tailor to colder or wetter conditions. It also serves as the perfect jersey for race warm-ups or as an extra mid-layer in winter. Thanks to the regularFit of the Spring/Fall jersey you get a garment that is less compressive than a racingFit, but more fitted than the comfortFit. 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 but with the 'triple ramp’ pocket concept they prevent any contents from escaping while riding hard. Reflective accents are also there to keep you visible in the waning light of a spring or autumn evening training session. The Women's UMA GT Spring Fall Jersey is the perfect three-season jersey with a touch of warmth to keep off a chill but the breathability to cope with intensive efforts.
Cycling in cool autumnal and spring conditions can be difficult to dress for. You can soon be too hot and sweaty after harder efforts which then makes you cold when you back off the pace. And yet take it steady and you can soon feel a chill. The ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Skin Layer looks to address this dilemma. For a start, the carbon and polypropylene yarns offer significantly improved insulation and moisture management in comparison to previous models of Assos base layers. The technical blend of medium-weight fabrics balances both excellent insulation levels with an impressive ability to rapidly wick away sweat from the skin. The result is a smooth, insulating, and antibacterial short-sleeve first layer that keeps your core dry and protected under your outer layers. 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. Thanks to this construction it's some 11% lighter than it's Skinfoil predecessors too, making it less noticeable than ever before. It's the perfect first layer of your transitional season's cycling wardrobe.

In the transitional seasons of spring and autumn, getting warmth and comfort just right can be tricky and this applies to headwear too. The Spring Fall Headband is a brilliant accessory as you can wear it when you set off, preventing the shock of cold air to the ears and forehead, and then when you've warmed up its light and compact enough to easily slip into a jersey or jacket pocket. The open-top design means airflow can still cool your head and speed sweat removal from inside your helmet, but ears and forehead remain wonderfully cosy and warm, just like with a winter skull cap. Perfection.
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.
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.
When temperatures are perhaps a bit too cool for your shorts and warmers combination but you don't need the heavy insulation of full winter tights, the EQUIPE RS Spring/Fall Cycling Bib Tights S9 deliver just the right level of warmth along with excellent breathability. For the seasons that transition into and out of winter, they offer the comfort you need to tick off tough training sessions with ease. Warmth and Breathability in Harmony Made from fleece-backed OSMOS Light, the lowest volume of the OSMOS textile family, the EQUIPE RS give an instant feeling of comfort against the skin. Once you're up to speed, this fleecy inner traps air to create an insulating barrier against cool temperatures. Meanwhile, the abdomen and crotch panel panels that face into the wind, and bear the brunt of the elements, feature an additional layer of OSMOS Medium. This twinDeck construction provides added insulation while remaining highly breathable. Compression. Comfort. The Spring/Fall bib tights are not only warm but they provide excellent compression and support of your muscles. The use of double-layer fabrics provides a compressive structure, firmly wrapping your large muscle groups to encourage positive circulation and uniform warmth throughout. Keeping the tights comfortably in place is Assos' A-Lock Engineering bib design, featuring rollBar braces and ergoBox construction, creating a tight that's perfectly stabilised and holding the seat insert in the correct position at all times. The Carbon Xbib also incorporates an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat in the front. At the waist and hems, a raw-cut, stitch-free finish gives a smooth and flexible fit, ensuring you enjoy the utmost comfort and a smooth transition between tights and additional layers. Assos EQUIPE RS Insert Support and comfort on the saddle are provided by the EQUIPE RS Insert. In order to boost warmth, the ventilation holes from the summer version are removed but everything else remains just the same. The pad makes use of superAir microShock foam in a 3D waffle design. The shock-absorbing SuperAir foam is lightweight and quick to return to its original form, filling gaps each time you shift weight and change position on the saddle. The waffle design meanwhile, sees the use of three-layer perforated foam to increases breathability and reduce bulk. And with goldenGate technology, the unique design allows a more natural irritation-free movement when pedalling.
Leg warmers may seem a simple product, but not all leg warmers are created equal. The GT Spring Fall Leg Warmers C2 take a step up in comfort and performance thanks to their combination of anatomic design and a lightly compressive material that allows optimal pedalling flexibility as well as insulation. The RX EVO textile used in their construction feels luxuriously soft against the skin and the brushed inner also does a brilliant job of trapping warmth. It's breathable too, ensuring harder efforts don't level you soaked in sweat. With a single-seam and sculpted patterning, the fit is tuned for irritation-free pedalling. The anatomic fit sees curved tops to the warmers adding warmth to the outer thigh while further reinforcing the wrinkle-free fit. Raw-cut hems also negate the need for silicone grippers, giving a smooth, unobtrusive fit with your cycling shorts.
Chilly autumn and spring days, or even an early start during summer, can soon leave the knees feeling exposed and stiff. But thanks to the lightly insulated Spring Fall Knee Warmers you can add warmth to this vulnerable joint and keep muscles feeling supple and strong. Dealing quickly with sweat is just as vital for comfort too. And here too the knee warmers 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 knee warmers, making them barely noticeable once you pull them on.
