Times have moved on when mountain bike clothing was overly baggy and rather ill-fitting. The TRAIL Cargo Shorts T3 are instead designed to eliminate excess bulk and yet maintain awesome freedom of movement, just what's needed when you're moving and reacting to ever-changing terrain. An update to the waist design improves the fit compared to previous models and pockets are now easier to access too, even for those with larger hands or when wearing gloves. The Type.OF11 fabric used for the shorts is highly abrasion resistant and with a bi-stretch woven construction. When pedalling uphill, traversing across trails, hitting downhills and just getting rowdy it provides fabulous freedom of movement. Comfort and freedom are further enhanced by Sens ST textile inserts. This lightweight fabric adds a touch of compression where needed and gives you outstanding breathability alongside a super-soft feel against the skin. Fast-drying, flexible, UPF50+ and with durable water repellent (DWR) treatment, these shorts protect you against all the elements. Assos has also been very meticulous with the fit of the Trail Cargo Shorts. The elasticated waist construction known as the AZPtech, ensures a smooth and comfortable feel, lessening pressure across the waist while still holding firm. The trim fit also prevents snagging on the saddle, leaving you free to move around the bike with ease. Meanwhile, the lower legs are relaxed to be suitable with or without pads, giving you the confidence to take on any trail feature.
Summer is for long rides, discovering new roads to ride, at home and abroad, and pursuing the goals you set back in the cold of winter. And it's here the MILLE GT Jersey C2 is the ideal pick. It's the combination of lightweight and breathable fabrics, refined fit and technical details that keep it, and you, ahead of the pack. Made for Performance Under a hot summer sky, the lightweight breathability of BIG DUAL Tex fabric body panels maintains your cool comfort. Both breathable and quick-wicking, it deals quickly with sweat build-up, leaving you always feeling fresh. For the sleeves, Assos uses their Push-Pull textile. This warp-knit fabric provides gentle compression and outstanding moisture management too, elevating comfort on any bike ride you're on. Both body and sleeves also offer sun protection with each giving UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+. Flap-Free Fit Performance and comfort are harmonised with Assos' regularFit. While not as tight as their RaceFit, it still features careful body-mapping of seams and panels, giving you a streamlined fit that is smooth, flexible and comfortable. While flapping of fabric is kept to a minimum, you can still move easily and it won't penalise you for a few extra calories ingested at the cafe stop. Whether you’re lining up for a summer race series, enjoying a day-long training ride into the mountains or a gentle social spin to catch a morning coffee, the MILLE GT Jersey C2 gets you there in style and comfort.
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.
Be it gravel riding, bike packing, gravel racing, all-terrain riding or generally having a great time exploring on two wheels, the MILLE GTC KIESPANZER Bib Shorts C2 have been created to keep you comfortable. When you go beyond the tarmac and head off the beaten track in search of new adventures they're an ideal companion. For rides that stretch from sunrise to sunset, the GTC KIESPANZER have plenty of extra storage. With easily accessible mesh pockets to the thighs and lower back, it's simple to grab the essentials you need, even on the go, without needing to rummage around in your frame bag, handlebar bag or saddlebag. Assos also add highly reflective stripes to the shorts, keeping you visible when your riding days start early before the sun has fully risen, and for when those last kilometres towards your camp or hostel for the night are shrouded in darkness. Built Tough. And Comfortable. With a focus on off-road and multi-day bike packing, Assos have used a combination of Type.429 fabric and 'Bunny Hop' side panels. The 'Bunny Hop' panels fit and feel like a regular performance textile, thanks to its woven polyamide/elastane blend, but it's highly abrasion-resistant too, fending off pulls and scratches from trail-side overgrowth. Meanwhile, Type.429 fabric delivers a snug flexible fit to ensure you enjoy a streamlined and flexible fit. It's also highly breathable, perfect for high summer rides and durable to resist the abuse of countless kilometres on the saddle. And with light compression, helps push back fatigue as your venture further and further into the wilds. Assos AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) Regular Fit Finding the perfect harmony of long-ride comfort and smooth, flexible fit, the Assos AEPD Regular Fit isn't so compressive as their RaceFit but it's certainly not going to slow you down. Tuned for comfort in the saddle and mobility off the bike. At the legs, the Silicone Leg Grippers are a robust version of their Superlight grippers. These provide a solid hold of the shorts, even across rough trails, and grip without the need for bulky grip applique MILLE GTC C2 Insert Tuned for the extra demands of rough off-road riding, the MILLE GTC C2 Insert features the Shock-Absorb Damping Twin system. This consists of MicroShock and FilterFoam in two layers and a total of 19mm of bump-absorbing gravel comfort. An odour-resistant top sheet also keeps you fresher when on the bike. 3D Waffle inserts keep bulk low and allow more air circulation and thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation. The kraterCooler design also sees perforations across the leading edge of the pad, drawing in cool air and boosting breathability. Lastly, there's the goldenGate. The unique stitching pattern allows the insert to 'float' allowing the pad to move with you for optimal comfort.
From the chill of misty early spring or autumn rides to the coolness of an early morning start to a long summer ride, the Spring Fall Arm Warmers provide just the right amount of warmth for comfort. However, once you've started to build some body heat, or the sun begins to arm the day, the aggressive moisture-wicking deals quickly with any sweat you generate, preventing it from pooling on the skin. Not only are they great for lightweight insulation, but the warmers also provide protection against the sun's rays during a clear sunny day of cycling. Assos' Circular Seamless technology gives a smooth, irritation-free fit, making them barely noticeable once you pull them on.
Taking feedback on their renowned T.LaalalaiShorts_s7, Assos have given their women's specific bib short design a new lease of life with improvements to fabrics, fit and convenience. The result of their hard work is the Women's UMA GTV Bib Shorts C2. When it comes to taking a quick nature break and getting going again, the 'Bisilick' twin magnetic closure system takes the fuss out of the situation. The old single front closure has been replaced by a twin magnetic closure to the back. This is more comfortable and secure when in the saddle but offers easy convenience for pit stops. Improvements have also been made to the fabrics. Ossidia fabric has been deployed, reducing overall weight while making no compromise to elasticity, compression, or UV protection (UPF50+). You'll also remain cool and fresh thanks to odour control and active cooling. These are permanent characteristics, permanently integrated into the material itself, not applied as a topical treatment The X-Frame bib design stabilises the UMA GT seat pad perfectly in place, ensuring comfort at all times and preventing irritation as you pedal. An updated AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) also realises even greater comfort, with a beautiful fit for all types of rider. Assos AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) Regular Fit Finding the perfect harmony of long-ride comfort and smooth, flexible fit, the Assos AEPD Regular Fit is based upon Assos' race models but it's more accommodating of different shapes and sizes. At the waist, the more forgiving zeroPressure design, with Tech Sheen Mesh insert across the abdomen, also keeps the shorts beautifully in place while allowing optimal flexibility for deep breathing and low riding positions. The comfort also extends to the Ultralight leg grippers. 6mm in depth and minus seams, they provide a secure non-bulge fit while giving a smooth and uninterrupted transition from shorts to skin. Women's UMA GT C2 Insert With 9mm of cushioning and the 'floating' design of goldenGate location to move the pad with your body not against you, the Women's UMA GT C2 pad is intensely comfortable, supportive and shock-absorbing. Compressive foam layers provide endurance-focused support on the saddle. The 3D Waffle design uses a three-layer construction, with perforated foams to enhance breathability and airflow. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation while the odour-resistant top sheet maintains freshness.
Epitomising Assos' 'self sponsorship' ethos, the MILLE GTO Jersey C2 gives you top-tier performance that will be the envy of even pro riders. From long-distance training efforts to the competitive thrills of racing to the demands of hot, mountainous sportives, it's a jersey you can trust to deliver what you need to perform. Flap-Free Fit Performance and comfort all start with the fit. In this case Assos' regularFit. The body-mapping of seams and panels gives you a streamlined fit that is smooth, flexible and comfortable. Furthermore, Assos also use set-in sleeves and darting at the collarbones to achieve a wrinkle-free fit across the shoulders and chest. It may feel tight when off the bike, but stretch to your bars and it suddenly makes sense. Elegance is the absence of flapping material. Performance Fabrics For the main body, Assos uses an advanced fabric with an ultrasoft feel. Called, Sens SN, this textile is now lighter, softer and more breathable than the previous versions of Sens textiles. With exceptional breathability, it ensures superb comfort on your long, hot days in the saddle. And with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 50+, you'll enjoy outstanding sun protection too. To the back, a Stabilizator V9 panel supports loaded pockets, preventing sagging and stretch. Meanwhile, the Push-Pull collar and sleeves offer a highly breathable and supportive fit. Raw-cut details at the sleeves, hem and zipper give the final touch, offering a streamlined and irritation-free fit. Lastly, befitting a jersey you'll love to wear from sunrise to sunset, reflective details ensure you're easier to see as light is low.
A premium cycling sock that merges elegant design and pure performance, the GTO Cycling Socks have been engineered from the ground up to ensure your feet, one of the key contact points with your bike, are kept comfortable on your longer cycling adventures. Comfort starts with the choice of lightweight and breathable textiles. Across the top of the foot, the structured material allows your skin to breathe, ensuring no sweat lingers to cause discomfort. For the cuff, Assos uses their luxurious Send ST fabric, delivering a lightweight fit that is barely noticeable. At the cuff, the raw-cut finish, with printed silicone gripper, keeps the socks flush and in place kilometre after kilometre. When pushing hard on the pedals, a lightly padded forefoot provides support and cushioning. And with a 15cm cuff height, these are socks that blend modernity and tradition.
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.
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.
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 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.
