AquaRepel Thermal Leg Warmers feature excellent water repellent properties and in addition have the same insulating effect as GripGrab's Classic Leg Warmers. The front panel has an additional windproof membrane to protect the knees and shins from the cooling effect of rain and wind. This feature makes the warmers a perfect companion to windproof bib shorts in harsh riding conditions. Silicone elastic grippers at the top keep the warmers in place, while a second silicone gripper at the base makes it possible to position the water-repellent warmer over a waterproof overshoe to prevent wet feet.
The Classic Thermal Leg Warmers are both insulating and breathable making them ideal for cycling on cold days. Temperature is regulated thanks to a breathable brushed fleece fabric. A silicone elastic grip at the top of the leg warmer and diagonal stitch on the rear panel behind the knee ensures maximum comfort.
The Pro SL Arm Leg Warmer IIs are made with a windproof and breathable material which keeps cold winds out while still allowing your skin to breathe when you're pushing hard on the pedals. Not only that, but a DWR finish is also applied to fend off light rain, drizzle and sharp showers, letting you ride longer in comfort. With a soft and fleecy inner face, you'll also enjoy cosy warmth when temperatures are low. Pair them with your favourite all-weather cycling shorts for versatile comfort any season of the year.
Due to their lightweight textiles and outstanding moisture control, Assos recommend their RS Superléger Cycling Socks for outdoor rides where temperatures start to rise above 30 degrees Celsius. They're also ideally suited to the hot and sweaty demands of indoor training. Thanks to InfraRed Yarns, featuring a high percentage of elastomer and blended with LYCRA®, the RS Superléger also provide a compressive fit for a boost to comfort and to promote circulation. Comfort is also enhanced via the 240-needle construction that delivers a seamless fit, removing areas of friction and irritation. A 360-degree Ribbed Arch gives extra support inside your cycling shoes too. Lastly, an elastic cuff provides a smooth transition between your socks and skin.
Taking their outstanding RS and RSR Bib Shorts S9, Assos have made changes to fabrics to maintain the fabulous comfort but deliver extra helpings of ventilation alongside a reduction in weight. For hot summer days spent tackling alpine ascents or the demands of intense indoor training sessions, they're the perfect pick. Low on weight. High on Ventilation. With fewer seams used in their construction and the use of ultralight and highly breathable materials, you'll enjoy greater comfort and fresher, cooler leg muscles when the mercury rises. The full-wrap Butterfly panel is carried over from the standard S9s but here super-light Breezer Tex is deployed. This woven fabric has a mesh-like structure, allowing for enhanced airflow inwards and outstanding breathability outwards. Other front and rear panels are made in OSSIDIA warp-knit material. This provides a firm compressive hold of your key muscle groups, and thanks to excellent abrasion resistance ensure excellent durability on the saddle. Meanwhile, the bib straps use a lighter elastic, reducing weight and minimising sweat absorption. A-Lock Engineering Assos apply the same S9 A-Lock Engineering for these Superléger shorts. This compromises a two-panel design made into a unique butterfly' panel design, snugly wrapping the legs and back to create a brand new ergoBox structure. This holds the insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and frictionless comfort no matter how intense your efforts. At the waist, raw-cut edges give a smooth transition between body and fabric, ensuring more comfort and less pressure. Raw-cut edges are also utilised at the leg openings, with minimal silicone grippers to keep your shorts in place with minimal weight and pressure. S9 SUNDECK Seat Insert An evolution of the EQUIPE RS insert, the S9 SUNDECK enjoys a reduction in weight for less bulk. Assos' whirlKrater system is also deployed. This uses strategically placed holes throughout the pad to boost airflow, creating a pad that minimises sweat absorption and boosts breathability. You'll also have the benefits of the standard RS pad. Shock-absorbing SuperAir microShock foam, in a 3D waffle design, is 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.
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.
With the NS Skin Layer Superleger Base Layer, you have a super-quick wicking later that fits smoothly under your race jersey or for use as your only upper body layer for the sweat and intensity of indoor training and racing. With the functional mesh textile offering active cooling, odour control, and rapid-wicking properties it's ideal for summer’s extreme heat. The fit of the Superléger is specifically tailored to work with your most aerodynamic jerseys, ensuring it's as unobtrusive as possible. The Circular Seamless tubular knit technology gives a smooth, second-skin fit that's free of areas of irritation while also offering light compression for extra comfort. The sleeveless design removes unnecessary bulk too (and incidentally ensures the Push Pull aerodynamic sleeves of Assos summer cycling jerseys work optimally too).
The Superléger Short Sleeve Cycling Base Layer has its focus on two specific areas of cycling. Firstly, it's created for the specific demands of indoor training and racing. Worn as your only top layer during indoor training, it optimises moisture-wicking performance, ventilation and breathability, keeping you cooler as you generate increased levels of body heat and sweat. The body-mapped design makes use of two types of open mesh, promoting both airflow and moisture management. You'll also find the second area in which it excels is the hottest days of outdoor cycling. Paired with the lightest race jersey in your kit drawer, the blend of polypropylene yarns have been carefully engineered to offer extra moisture control and a lightly compressive fit for added comfort as the mercury rises. When it comes to fit, the Superléger uses Circular Seamless tubular knit technology to give a smooth, second-skin fit that's free of areas of irritation. Set-in sleeves are also used to allow for the optimal movement level, whether your main layer or under a cycling jersey.
With feedback from WorldTour cyclists, the RS Leg Warmers TARGA offer race-ready performance that offers uncompromising comfort, warmth, and ease of removal. Warmth comes by the way of Assos' mid-weight OSMOS Medium textile. This is ideally suited to the cool, but not freezing, conditions of spring and autumn, or even a cool summer morning. It's breathable too, ensuring higher tempo efforts don't leave your legs drenched in sweat. The fit has been refined to reduce pedalling restrictions and there's greater thermal protection on the outside of the upper thigh and into the hip area. The combination of the stretch materials and Assos' raceFit gives a smooth, compressive fit that allows for easy mobility. If you're planning to spend the whole ride in your warmers, the low bulk skinGrip silicone gripper keeps them securely in place. But if you do decide to remove your warmers as you warm up, the ankle zipper makes this a much easier affair.
When you're mountain bike legend Greg Minnaar you know a thing or two about what you want from your MTB kit. And that experience has been fully utilised in the development of the Legacy Mountain Bike Pants. When you're riding steep and technical terrain and getting way over the back wheel, the stretch panels across the thigh, the top of the seat and waist area waist and around the ankle make sure you enjoy the total freedom needed to move and react to the quickly changing terrain. The pre-curved leg construction also takes into account aggressive riding positions while a raised back waistband offers extended coverage. Trail-ready durability comes by the way of an abrasion-resistant seat panel, toughening up an area prone to rubbing from the saddle and muddy grit. And to combat chain rub, an abrasion-resistant Amara synthetic leather is used to the ankle on the chainring side. The pants are easily adjusted for the perfect fit via Velcro® waist tabs - cinch in and shred. The double snap closure at the waist also adds a reassuringly secure fit. Whether racing your mates or racing Greg Minnaar, these modern MTB trousers won't let you down when you're heading downhill.
The aim with the Valegro Road Cycling Helmet (WG11) was to engineer a helmet with optimal levels of ventilation but without compromising on safety. To achieve this aim the Valegro is made using patented MIT Technology. MIT uses a polycarbonate shell fused to an impact-absorbing inner EPS liner. By directly joining the layers together shock absorption is improved. At the same time, this engineered solution has allowed Kask to give the Valegro 37 vents without effecting strength and protection. With it's highly vented design air is able to rush inside and warm, damp air easily exhausts to the rear. A highly breathable and quick-wicking interior pad system sees head to pad contact reduced by 70% facilitating even more airflow to your scalp, keeping you cooler as you turn up the power. WG11 Safety Test The Valegro passes the stringent WG11 test. This focuses on protection from rotational impact forces, measuring rotational kinematics from both oblique and normal impacts. With this safety test passed, you can be sure the Valegro has you covered should you be unfortunate enough to fall from your bike. Kask Octo-Fit The Kask Octo-Fit offers both excellent security and a precise fit. A rubberised Micro Dial adjuster provides an improved finger grip for adjustment. Floating cradle contact and supports are designed to oscillate freely through 180° allowing a perfect fit on any shaped head. The Skeletal Brackets of the cradle have been designed and refined to provide the best fit and support whilst being as light as possible. Resistex® padding Fast-wicking and quick-drying Resistex® padding draws moisture away from your head to keep you drier as your more intense efforts create heat and sweat. This works with the engineered airflow to boost all-ride comfort and the pads are washable to ensure freshness.
