Motivated to Ride. Whatever the Weather. The MILLE GT ULTRAZ Winter Jacket EVO gives you the extra motivation you need to face into the colder and damper weather conditions of winter training. It all starts with the unique and highly functional fabric mix. At the front and upper back, windproof NEOS Light textile is deployed. This lightweight 3-layer softshell features a PU bonded membrane, offering total wind protection and a high degree of water resistance. Snow, rain, road spray and biting winds are all easily fended off. Cold Out. Warm in. With the elements kept out, Assos turned to the job of keeping warmth inside. On the inside of the GT Ultraz is their soft and fleecy RX Heavy. This insulates you against the cold but just as importantly it allows sweat to escape. After all, it's no good being protected from the elements if you then get damp on the inside when cycling. To the back, 3-layer NEOS Medium fabric adds even more warmth to your ride.The sleeves use Assos' two-layer twinDeck construction, a protective outer matched with an insulating inner. And at the cuff, you’ll notice these two materials aren’t sewn together, which lets your gloves seamlessly integrate between the layers for streamlined comfort. As you'd expect of an Assos garment, the attention to detail, fabric choice and tailoring are all first-class. Warm and weather protective, while also breathable, this is a jacket to keep you on your bike and enjoying the outdoors when deep winter arrives.
Building upon the performance of the standard GT Winter Overshoes, these GT Ultraz Winter Cycling Overshoes double up the protection for increased warmth in the harshest of winter cycling conditions. The primary material used is Assos' own ThermoShell 3-layer softshell. This 3-layer softshell uses a PU-bonded membrane to give excellent protection against freezing winds and damp weather. A perforated circular knit face is also deployed to enhance breathability without sacrificing thermal protection. Construction is in two overlapping layers, this twinDeck construction giving a significant boost to warmth and weather protection. And with a DWR finish applied to the outside, your feet are kept cosy through extreme weathers. Practical features include a reverse Camlock zipper making your overshoes easy to pull on before and off after your rides. Assos' zeroCuff is a raw-cut edge at the top, creating a smooth and streamlined finish to the booties. Meanwhile, the grippy sportGrip across the sole provides extra traction when you're off the bike and gives a boost to durability.
In order to get the best balance of warmth and breathability, Assos have used a blend of wool and synthetic fibres for their Ultraz Winter Socks EVO. The wool yarns provide natural insulation against the cold, even when wet, and give them odour resistance too. Meanwhile, the synthetic yarns give the socks plenty of stretch and deal quickly with sweat, ensuring your feet remain fresh and dry. When it comes to insulation, this has been boosted across the forefoot, providing outstanding warmth during the coldest days on the bike. Seamless construction provides an irritation-free fit while compressive support keeps your socks firmly in place and prevents bunching.
Ultraz is Assos' range of products for the deepest and coldest of winter conditions and the ASSOSOIRES Ultraz Winter Gloves live up to that billing, with remarkable levels of insulation while keeping bulk to a minimum. The secret to their performance is the combination of twinDeck, a highly insulating double-layer fabric, and their membrane–backed Airblock windproof textile, thermal lining, and neoprene cuffs. Together these materials grab body heat and simply won't let it go. The high level of breathability prevents sweaty hands - vital for long-ride comfort as a build-up of sweat soon leads to rapid cooling - and excellent water-resistance keeps your hands protected should rain showers, sleet or snow arrive. Low in volume, these gloves feature extended neoprene cuffs—for that crucial jacket-to-glove intersection - and targeted palm padding throughout. As far as your hands are concerned, winter riding will never have been so comfortable.
Winter is where you lay the foundation for summer fitness and with the Women's UMA GT Ultraz Winter Bib Tights you've no excuses when it comes to getting those base miles racked up. Assos' most protective regularFit bib-tights, they feature a double-layer construction and a membrane-backed front panel to give you outstanding levels of insulation, weather protection and breathability. TwinDeck Protection Insulation and weather-protection start with the highly insulating brushed-back RX Heavy matched to an outer layer of ultrathin 2-layer softshell, with PU bonded membrane. This TwinDeck construction provides incredible warmth as well as a 100% windproof barrier and excellent water resistance. This particular lay-up is used across the leg and glute panels to fend off cold temperatures, rain, road spray and even snow. And Breathe Being warm is all well and good but cycling can soon cause a sweat. Don't deal with this excess moisture and you'll very quickly start to feel uncomfortable and chilly. To deal with this Assos deploy their highly breathable RX Light over the back of the legs, letting sweat easily escape before discomfort sets in. This also has the added benefit of being highly flexible, giving you smooth and unrestricted pedalling. Speaking of flexibility, the UMA GT Ultraz are tailored with Assos' women's regularFit. This offers a lightly compressive fit but one you'll find is easy to move about in. Every panel is shaped to flex and follow the body through the pedal stroke, offering the ultimate in flexibility and comfort. Women's UMA GT EVO Insert On the saddle, you'll enjoy the support and comfort of the women's specific Women's UMA GT EVO seat pad. Reversed seams offer unrivalled comfort when pedalling while 8mm Memory foam provides superb vibration damping and support across your sit bones. The patented 3-layer foam design, Assos call it 3D waffle, increases breathability and eliminates excess weight too. And lastly, the goldenGate technology gives you a pad that moves with you rather than acting against you.

If you're fueled by the adrenalin rush of high-speed downhills and the biggest booters, you'll certainly love the confidence-inspiring performance of the XULT DH FF Helmet. It's packed with features that promote safety and deliver unrivalled ventilation. Protection Evolved An evolution of the original XULT, this iteration has been redesigned with a sleek new outer shell, improved placement of ventilation channels, a silicone goggle-strap grip, and the inclusion of washable comfort lining. The result is even better comfort and performance for the DH rider who wants the most helmet for their money. X-Matter x FRP Shell In order to keep your head safer when you take a hard slam the Xult combines iXS' X-Matter and FRP technologies. The X-Matter design sees a safety rail sandwiched between the EPS and the outer shell. This consists of a series of inserts, engineered to act as a buffer between the outer shell and EPS foam liner. The X-Matter system both absorbs and dissipates impact energies but also offsets rotational forces in the event of a crash. Meanwhile, the FRP (fibre reinforced polymer) shell allows iXS to trim bulk and weight without compromising safety or durability. The lightweight nature of the shell also reduces the effects of rotational forces on the head and thus lessens the risk of brain injury. Vortex Ventilation System Rowdy riding will soon see you working up some heat. But that's not a problem thanks to the Vortex Ventilation System. Large external vents feed directly into large internal air channels and out to the rear exhaust vents. This creates a cool rush of air over the head and ensures warm, sweaty air doesn't hang around inside. The Xult full-face also comes equipped with an ergonomic padding system, with specially designed cheek padding, guaranteeing a high degree of riding comfort and a secure and comfortable fit.
