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.

If you're racing and training in damp conditions, then you definitely want to pull on the Speedskin Silicone Booties, they're designed to keep rain out and ensure slippery aerodynamics is kept to the fore. The silicone lycra fabric and high cut of the booties give them a smooth and slippery passage through the air while reduced seams and a sealed ankle seam lessens the chance of water ingress. A YKK rear zipper makes the booties easier to get on and off at the start and end of your training session or race.
The 2nd Skin Mesh Short Sleeve Base Layer is a next-to-the-skin layer, dedicated to one thing - dealing quickly with sweat. As you generate heat and perspiration, the large surface area of the mesh is extremely effective at drawing excess moisture off the skin. This quick-wicking action will keep you feeling drier and more comfortable, both as your effort-levels increase and temperatures peak. Seams are kept to a minimum to avoid chafing, while graduated knits are used to add a graphic effect for when you unzip your jersey.

We can officially only rate these warmers at UPF 50+, but in our laboratory tests they actually blocked 99.8 percent of damaging UV rays. We used a polyester base that is not only more effective than nylon at blocking UV rays but is also much better at keeping you dry, which means these skins are better in both cooler and warmer conditions. We’ve kept the construction very clean to eliminate seams that can rub, and we used our double-sided silicone elastic to make sure they stay in place. They fold up extremely small, so they’re great to stick in your pockets for your next big mountain day.Solare fabric keeps the chill off without causing overheating,UPF 50+ protection,Polyester based for excellent moisture management,Double-side silicone elastic at top for excellent grip.
