Ready for Anything To the front of the Women's UMA GT Winter Jacket EVO, Assos deploy their NEOS Medium fabric, a softshell 3-layer thermal material. This provides a very effective barrier against bitterly cold winds and will shrug off rain and road spray too. While this front panel locks in warmth, a lighter-weight version of the same fabric, NEOS light, sits over the shoulders, outer arms and upper back. This is used to prevent overheating and to maintain a high level of breathability, keeping you comfortable if you ramp up the speed and intensity. Lastly, soft and fleecy RX fabric on the back and underarms provides warmth and breathability too, while also delivering an impeccable fit. This complements perfectly Assos' raglan sleeves that both works to reduce drag and allows complete freedom of movement. Practicality Built-in A long winter ride needs plenty of fuelling and so Assos give you three large capacity rear pockets, set at the perfect height and depth for easy access but still keeping the contents completely secure. The pockets are supported by Assos' S7 knit stabilisation, this single-stretch material supports the pockets vertically to prevent any sagging. For rides that finish late into the evening or start before sunrise, reflective details keep you visible on the road. Harsh winter weather won't slow you down when you pull on your UMA GT EVO Winter Cycling Jacket. Incredibly comfortable and highly protective across a wide range of conditions this is a winter-cycling tour-de-force.
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.
Setting the Pace for Comfort This isn't a jacket for taking it easy in. Rather, the aerodynamically efficient Women's DYORA RS Winter Cycling Jacket excels the harder you press on the pedals and the more watts you push out. Created for the pro-athlete and demanding year-round rider, Assos have carefully and precisely engineered every textile to be 'activated' with effort. It creates a winter-proof jacket with the very best balance of insulation and exceptional breathability, perfectly regulating body temperature during your long training rides and races. Engineered Excellence Its exceptional performance is made possible by its unique construction, material mix and a new breed of remarkably light softshell fabrics called SPHERE. This replaces Assos' long-running Stratagon and offers membrane-equipped materials of variable thicknesses to tune waterproofing and flexibility perfectly for cycling hard. The inner front panel is made of several ultrathin layers of SPHERE. It's akin to a mid-layer chest protector and is brilliant at wicking moisture away to the outer layers. Then comes 3-layer wind- and waterproof SPHERE Light to the outside. Brushed on the inside it provides both warmth and weather protection. A thicker and more insulating version of the same 3-layer material is used across the upper back and forearms, boosting warmth. To boost climate control, Assos have deployed their Diffusor “valves” at the shoulders, allowing air inside to prevent overheating. Moving to the back, OSMOS Heavy is the most insulating of Assos' brushed-backed materials. And the jacket’s built-in mid-layer is made with lighter, more breathable OSMOS Light while the upper arms are wrapped in windproof warp-knit 3L ZigZaggy Foam. Assos Layering System The Women's Dyora RS Winter Jacket forms part of a cycling layering system, engineered to work beautifully together. For most winter conditions it works perfectly as a stand-alone winter jacket. However, for extremely harsh conditions use it with an Assos Thermobooster Mid Layer for added insulation. For extra coverage in humid or extra-demanding weather, deploy your Clima Capsule Jacket over the top. Assos have thought of everything.
The softshell NEOS Medium material ensures the GT Winter Cycling Overshoes prevent your feet from suffering from the bite of colder winter temperatures. It's the same material as used for Assos' winterproof jackets so has been comprehensively tested and proven to keep off cold winds and to repel damp, drizzly conditions. This 3-layer softshell, with PU bonded membrane, also breathes well, keeping your feet comfortable during all levels of intensity during your ride. 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.

Temperature regulation, insulation and moisture control are all key performance characteristics of the latest ASSOSOIRES Winter Skin Layer. Worn as the base under your winter cycling outer and mid-layers, the blend of carbon and polypropylene yarns offers a significant improvement in both warmth and moisture control compared to its predecessors. Body warmth is maintained, heat is retained and at the same time, the yarns quickly draw moisture off your skin. This leaves you dry and comfortable and less prone to feeling cold from sweat build-up after harder efforts. 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. It's the perfect first layer of your winter cycling wardrobe.
It’s during the depths of winter that you’ll be creating the aerobic base to create the foundations of your summer fitness. But those cold, dark days can be motivation sappers. But with the Mille GT Winter Bib Tights c2 you have the warmth you can trust, boosting your motivation to get out and ride. RX EVO Plus In order to keep the bite of winter at bay, Assos use their warmest brushed back fabric, RX EVO Plus. The high-loft fleece inner feels luxuriously cosy against the skin and it does a brilliant job of holding onto body heat. Not just warm it breathes well too, creating a warm and dry microclimate inside. You’ll also benefit from the excellent odour resistance of RX EVO, maintaining freshness for longer. The asymmetric stretch also gives a brilliant fit as you pedal and the warp knit is also abrasion-resistant, offering long-term durability. Full Body Support To the upper of the tights, the Assos X-Frame design has been borrowed from the Equipe RSR summer bibs. This gives support for the lower part of the tights and stabilises the seat pad when you’re pedalling and moving. This leads to improved comfort on longer bike rides. Across the belly the zeroPressure Waist features a superbly soft and highly elastic material with a raw cut edge, giving you a flexible but firm fit without adding pressure or causing pinching. Shaped for Comfort This iteration of the Mille Winter tight has had a re-design to reduce seam numbers, leading to a reduction in weight, removing areas of irritation while maintaining just the right amount of compression and comfort. The Assos regularFit also strikes the perfect balance between streamlined performance and all-day comfort. It’s the perfect pick for your long base-building winter rides. MILLE GT C2 Seat Pad The Mille GT C2 Seat Pad offers shock-absorbing support when you’re on the saddle. 11mm 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 the insulating power of Assos’ warmest 290g/m² OSMOS Heavy material, the Winter Face Mask EVO offers all over warmth when you’re facing training rides in the freezing cold. The soft and cosy inner face feels great to wear while the abrasion-resistant outer makes it tough too. It also offers excellent thermoregulation, maintaining your warmth without overheating, Across the throat and chin, you’ll benefit from the extra weather protection of SPHERE 2-layer Ultra Hole membrane. This gives protection from road spray and the bite of windchill. It also features a four-way stretch fit and is perforated with micro-holes to increase breathability without sacrificing protection. TwinDeck construction also adds two-layer protection in vulnerable areas while the extended apron extends coverage below your jersey or jacket collar. A raw cut face opening provides a smooth and comfortable fit while the opening can be stretched over the chin to increase ventilation when you need it.
When it comes to cycling in winter, it’s the extremities, and particularly the hands, that are often the first to suffer from the arrival of lower temperatures. But with the Winter Gloves EVO, and their insulated construction, you have a reliable barrier against the cold. The excellent windproof performance also prevents heat loss, boosting comfort still further. While not waterproof, a water-repellent finish certainly fends off intermittent light rain and spray from damp roads. Assos have also improved the palm when compared to previous iterations. The microfibre material is now less prone to soak up moisture and just like the rest of the glove it’s also thermal, breathable and water-repellent. Touchscreen compatibility also means easy control of your phone and GPS devices without exposing your hands to the cold. Across the palm, padding provides pressure relief while the anatomic shape prevents bunching and improves bar grip and dexterity. Extended cuffs also prevent gaps between gloves and jacket sleeves, creating a secure seal against the cold.
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.
