To take on the demands of cool and changeable conditions Assos engineered two new textiles specifically for the task and used them for the Women's UMA GT Spring Fall Half Tights. First comes RX EVO, this is used across most of the tight, it's cosy and warm and features an ECO water–repellent treatment for extra comfort in damp, misty and drizzly conditions. Meanwhile, the back of the legs features RX Light, a highly breathable material with extra flexibility, ensuring you don't overheat and you also enjoy unrestricted pedalling. With a fold-over front panel design at the waist, you'll also enjoy a smooth, pressure-free transition between the body and fabric. Speaking of flexibility, the Women's UMA GT Spring Fall Half Tights have a lightly compressive fit and are cut with Assos' regularFit meaning they're performance orientated but not as tight as a pure race-bred garment. The high degree of stretch means the tights flex with your pedal stroke and the tailoring ensures you enjoy complete support and comfort of the upper leg muscles, knees, and calves while in motion. Meanwhile, when you're on the saddle, support is provided by the women's specific UMA S7 EVO pad, it features 8mm of memory foam, 3DWaffle, a patented, three-layer perforated foam and goldenGate technology to deliver exceptional comfort on any ride, long or short. Too mild for winter tights but too cold for shorts? It's here that the UMA GT Spring Fall Half Tights come into their own, balancing warmth, breathability and weather protection for those days when you're just not sure what spring or autumn cycling days have in store.
The Assos Women's UMA GT Spring/Fall Jacket is brilliant for cool and breezy days on the bike and, should the conditions turn to damp and drizzly, it's water-resistant too. A 3-layer softshell, with a NOES MILD membrane, provides complete protection from cold winds, rain showers, road-spray and plunging temperatures – all without sacrificing breathability. On the tops of the arm, a brushed bi-stretch RX material adds insulation, while the under arms and back-panel boost breathability with Type.157 – a breathable, circular-knit fabric. Designed with regularFit, the Assos Women's UMA GT Spring/Fall Jacket is built for optimal riding comfort, allowing room for additional layers, should you need them. The Triple Ramp rear pockets provide plenty of space for gels and bars on longer rides and, reflective accents ensure you're more visible when the light fades. The weather is hard to predict, but the Assos Women's UMA GT Spring/Fall Jacket will ensure you’re cycling comfortably through whatever spring or autumn has in store.
In the cooler air of spring and autumn, the front of the Assos TRAIL Spring/Fall Men's Jacket protects your body and shoulders with an all-new, ultra-soft material called RX TECH Melange. Brushed on the inside, it provides just the right level of insulation to keep you warm as you swoop and roll down free-flowing singletrack. Featuring the same textile technology as the Assos TRAIL jerseys, the light and flexible back-panel material adds breathability and pulls moisture away from the layers below. Inside, the sleeves feature a lightly brushed RX fabric for a touch of extra insulation. They also feature abrasion-resistant dyneRope - fifteen times stronger than steel, this fibre is blended with a black polyethene and is strategically placed to protect exposed areas. It covers the elbows for added protection against scratching, pulling and abrasion from trailside obstacles. The double-slider zip helps you regulate your ventilation from top or bottom and, the inside pocket is the perfect place for keys and other valuables. Assos' trailFit keeps the cut slim and trim so you're not slowed down but it still offers the stretch and flexibility you need to hit berms, kickers and rocky, rooty sections with unhindered freedom of movement and brimming with confidence.
Extensive riding and testing in spring and autumn led Assos to create the ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Socks, marrying the lightweight comfort of your favourite summer socks with a touch of insulation to fend off cooler temperatures. To enhance moisture transfer the socks feature a unique hexagonal and square knit, it quickly wicks moisture through the yarns to the outer surface, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable inside your shoes. The seamless construction removes any irritation, a ribbed arch provides enhanced support across the foot and a reflective band up the back keeps you safe and seen in lower light conditions. With the spring/fall yellow climaCode you'll also know which socks to grab from your sock drawer.
The Assos Women’s TRAIL Spring/Fall Jacket protects your torso and shoulders from the cool spring and autumn air, using RX TECH Melange – an all-new, ultra-soft material, brushed on the inside to keep you warm and insulated as you speed down the mountainside. Keeping you dry, the breathable back-panel pulls moisture from the layers below, using the same material and technology from the Assos TRAIL jersey range. Your arms will appreciate the extra insulation from the lightly brushed RX fabric inside the sleeves and, the dyneRope covered elbows will protect your arms from abrasion. The double-slider zip provides the option to ventilate from the top or bottom, while the inside pocket is the perfect place for keys and other valuables. With temperature changes often noticeable between the top and bottom of the trail, the Assos Women's TRAIL Spring/Fall Jacket is essential for your spring and autumn mountain bike kit bag.
There comes a point in the year when the seasons begin to transition and summer shorts are no longer warm enough and yet pulling on full winter tights isn't quite necessary. Enter the Equipe RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts S9 - cosy shorts for training and racing in the cooler conditions of autumn and spring. Warmth and Breathability in Harmony The thigh panels are made from Assos' heavyweight brushed-back Osmos Heavy material - super-soft against the skin, insulating and yet highly breathable, it ensures a perfect temperature whether it's a hard early-season race effort or a steady autumnal spin. The warp-knit outer provides support and compression of the muscles, encouraging circulation to the legs, vital to keep body warmth high. To the front, around your more sensitive areas, you'll also be happy to find windproof Sphere Ultra textile in a double-layer, locking out icy blasts while still maintaining breathability for comfort. Race Proven Comfort Keeping the shorts comfortably in place is Assos' A-Lock Engineering bib design, featuring rollBar braces, creating a short that's perfectly stabilised and holding the seat insert in the correct position at all times. Speaking of the seat pad, this is Assos' EQUIPE RS Insert. In order to boost warmth, the ventilation holes from the summer version are removed but everything else remains - the superAir microShock foam, 3D waffle and goldenGate technology - making for incredible comfort on the saddle. Wear them on their own or pair up with knee and leg warmers, the Equipe RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts S9 will see you comfortably through the cooler months of your cycling year.
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.
