If the weather is too mild for full winter kit but too chilly for shorts, the UMA GT Spring Fall Half Knickers C2 bridge the gap perfectly. It’s just what you need for much of your spring or autumn cycling. RX EVO Warmth In order to get the ideal balance of warmth, breathability and flexibility, Assos deploy their RX EVO textile. This cosy mid-weight material offers just the right level of insulation for spring and autumn rides. The brushed inner face traps body heat while excellent breathability prevents sweat build-up during harder riding. A water-repellent treatment also adds protection against damp roads and drizzle. Shaped for Comfort The women’s specific fit has been designed to offer comfort for rides of any length. The Assos regularFit strikes the perfect balance between streamlined performance and all-day comfort. Ultralight leg grippers see elastic woven through the leg bands, creating a secure hold minus restriction. Around the waist and hips, Assos have created their hipClick design. This combines elastic and mesh layers that give excellent comfort and full coverage. It also eliminates pressure and restriction while stabilising the knickers’ body panels and locks the seat insert in place. UMA GT C2 Seat Pad The women’s specific UMA GT C2 Seat Pad offers shock-absorbing support when you’re on the saddle. 9mm of compressive foam layers keep you comfortable on endurance rides, easing pressure across the sit bones. Thermoformed shaping also reduces irritation. You’ll also benefit from the 3D Waffle design. This 3-layer perforated foam offers increased breathability and reduced weight too. Lastly, the goldenGate stitching pattern holds the insert at the front and the back but allows it to float too, moving with your body rather than against it.
Using Assos' Linear Seamless technology, the ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Liner Gloves provide a silky-smooth fit and no seams between your fingers for enhanced comfort and dexterity. Raw-cut cuffs also add to the luxurious feel and allow a smooth fit with your jackets and jerseys as well as a smooth fit under winter gloves. Cool temperatures are combated via the insulating polypropylene and polyamide fibres, holding in warmth you generate when riding. And thanks to excellent breathability, your hands enjoy perfect temperature regulation whether you're riding fast or taking it slower. A tonal Assos logo knitted into the back of the hands provides a classy finishing touch to these versatile cycling gloves.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Long Sleeve Base 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.
