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.
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.

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.

It can be difficult to decide what to wear during spring and autumn, full winter kit can leave you too hot, too sweaty and then easily chilled when you stop, while summer kit is too thin to offer the warmth needed even at higher intensities. The Assos Mille GT Spring Fall Jersey aims to solve that dilemma. To the front, RX brushed back fabric adds a degree of insulating protection, trapping a layer of warm air, while fast-drying and highly breathable Stripe Tex fabric to the back ensure you'll not become overloaded with cold sweat when riding hard. Warmth can easily be tailored to suit during transitional seasons, and it serves as the perfect jersey for race warm-ups or as an extra mid-layer in the winter. Thanks to a regular fit of the Mille GT Jersey you get a garment that is less compressive than a racing fit, but more fitted than the comfort fit. 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, alongside a 'triple ramp’ pocket concept that prevents any contents from escaping while riding hard. This is the perfect three-season jersey with a touch of warmth to keep off a chill but the breathability to cope with intensive efforts.
