Assos Apparel

With the 160-gram Equipe RSR Bib Shorts S9, Assos started from scratch and re-engineered the platform as a whole—and came away with the lightest, most comfortable race-spec bib shorts to ever leave their laboratory. These bibs are made with Type 701kompressor material that delivers the perfect combination of compressive hold, durability, soft hand-feel, and the lowest weight possible. In other words, the material becomes your second skin, delivering phenomenal structural hold, breathability, and a silky smooth, uninterrupted wrap along the low back and thighs. Assos' new bracing system works together to stabilize the shorts and secure the insert in place. The S9 generation incorporates just two panels, with a primary “butterfly” panel fully wrapping the legs and converging in the rear to form the ergoBox structure. This design effectively frames the insert in place and provides you with an ultra-comfortable wrap that works in conjunction with Type 701 material for the best fit ever produced. The bib straps have also been redesigned using calibrated stretch throughout, with the rear section using a single section of elastic material—folded over on itself—forming an A-frame in the back. It delivers limited vertical stretch in order to add further stability. In the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to lay flat and wick moisture. Assos also focused on a single insert platform, which allowed the freedom to reassess what is most crucial to a streamlined, race-spec insert. They reduced the overall footprint to shed additional weight, employed superAir microShock foam with 3D waffle, incorporated the kraterCooler system to increase airflow up front, and took additional measures to anchor the insert at the rear with a patented horizontal stabilizer. The result? Total ASSOS comfort you’ve come to know and trust, stabilized more than ever.

The second generation of our rider-proven UMA, back with a more comfortable raw-cut sleeve construction, its classic regular fit, and limited-edition graphics. Why we made it Building on an every-ride staple for countless riders due to its regular fit, comfortable textiles, and unmistakable ASSOS style, this is UMA 2.0. It's back wearing a more comfortable raw-cut sleeve construction, its classic regular fit, and limited-edition graphics that fade from bold colorways back to ASSOS black.

The next generation in committed riders' bib shorts of choice, defined by its frictionless waist, refined air-cooling insert, and muscle-wrapping textile. We took this generational redesign as an opportunity to make the MILLE GT better at the things we loved about its predecessor, including our premium X-frame suspension carriage, a refined comfort waist fit, and a reduction in seams and weight (28% and 5g, respectively). The insert also got some attention, inheriting the increased ventilation of our GTS/GTO models and receiving 3mm of additional cushioning. We also updated the Odor Control Top Sheet Tex to the Sugar Blue colorway. - 80%PA 20%EA

The evolution of our superlight, packable waterproof rain jacket, featuring a more robust membrane and fewer seams throughout for increased protection during year-round training and racing. The TARGA stands in as the third iteration of our flagship EQUIPE RS Rain Jacket, returning with a more durable black membrane sandwiched in the middle of the 3L Schloss Tex material. In addition to being a touch more watertight, it also adds increased durability to this ASSOS-exclusive ultrathin softshell. We also removed the rear pocket slots, as the contents of your pockets are easily reached by unzipping the double-slider zipper from the bottom. This, in conjunction with the new stitchless reflective strip down the center of the back, ensures there are no points of water ingress along the back.

This is the second generation of our rider-proven MILLE, back with a more comfortable raw-cut sleeve construction, its classic regular fit, and limited-edition colorways. Why we made it Named after the movement of color, transitioning from vibrant tones back to ASSOS black. This is Shifter, the second generation of our MILLE SS platform, set apart by its comfortable raw-cut sleeve construction, classic regular fit, and limited-edition graphics. From pros who trust it for training to casual weekend riders, it redefines the standard, every-ride jersey.

Low-volume winter bib tights that merge targeted protection, maximum breathability, and an aerodynamic fit for riders going full gas in the coldest conditions. For cyclists who prefer winter training outdoors, these are less a pair of tights and more a well-engineered toolkit of solutions for the problems associated with cold-weather cycling. They keep you off the trainer and connected to the road with a suite of technologies combining our S9 racing platform with the next evolution of our Winter 3/3 seasonal innovations. The result is the best fitting and most supportively compressive weatherproof bib tights we've ever pulled on. Light precipitation, knifing wind so frigid you can see it, and chamois-stinging road spray—any of them can prematurely end a winter ride, but these tights are engineered to stop them all. Though OSMOS Heavy, a stretchy insulator, constitutes the tights' body, the key textiles are our membrane-equipped SPHERE Ultra and SPHERE Medium. The weatherproof SPHERE panels are situated on the knees, thighs, hips, crotch, and lower back. Taped seams and DWR treatment are further proof against watery ingress. Our aeroFit is the most aggressive, most aerodynamic, most compressive, and—simply—the fastest option in our racing line.

Competitive bib shorts that combine our most advanced S9 platform—developed with years of research and WorldTour feedback—with a female-specific design. Durable enough for daily use; engineered specifically for racing.

Superlight long-finger gloves for summer riding with high breathability, maximum grip, and touchscreen compatibility, recalibrated with a wrist cut that enables better freedom of movement. For the next generation of Race Series gloves, we revisited the wrist cut, eliminating material to carve out space for the wrists to bend in the riding position. Less volume, less wrinkling, less restriction. The construction and hand articulation remain the same, combining five different textiles, 10 panels, and three components in a curved, streamlined 3D shape that mimics the intricate anatomical structure of the hand as it grips the bars. The long finger model extends grip to the fingertips, providing increased control on the levers while descending or in the drops.

An ultralight summer base layer featuring a seamless design, female-specific fit, and carbon yarns to keep you dry and comfortable in the hottest conditions. Our product team is constantly refining the first-layer platform in the name of greater moisture management and overall comfort. Such is the case with the new Skin Layer family, taking the baton from our Skinfoils with its much lighter design, refined construction, and better-performing fiber blend. A new blend of carbon and polypropylene yarns have been strategically arranged to manage moisture, resulting in a breathable, antibacterial SS first layer that keeps you cool and dry from the base up. Our Circular Seamless construction is free of any irritating side seams, creating a uniform tubular knit that's ultrasoft against the skin. Seamless raglan-cut sleeves continue up to the neck for a greater range of motion.

An update to the classic leg warmer, featuring the return of our anatomical cut and our most pedal-friendly thermal material for dry, cool conditions. Though they're deceptively simple in theory, not all leg warmers are created equal. Our latest model proves the point with a return of our anatomic wrinkle-free shaping and a new, lightly compressive material that moves through the pedal stroke without shining white when stretched across the knee. - 86%PA 14%EA

With six years of technology developments and Assos’ most advanced race insert to date, the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 forges new ground, bringing unmatched stability and comfort to your most demanding speed-focused applications. These bibs employ A-Lock Engineering, Assos' new bracing system, comprising proprietary textiles and technologies working together to stabilize the shorts and secure the insert in place. The S9 generation incorporates just two panels, with a primary “butterfly” panel fully wrapping the legs and converging in the rear to form the ergoBox structure. This design effectively frames the insert in place and provides you with an ultra-comfortable wrap on your legs using our Type 441 textile, developed specifically for compressive hold and silky comfort. From here they added their unique rollBar, which mimics a race car’s anti-sway bar by using the bib straps to stabilize the insert as your weight transfers from left to right while cornering. Each strap is sewn into the seam directly above the insert, ensuring it’s under pre-loaded tension at all times. The bib straps have also been redesigned using calibrated stretch throughout, with the rear section using a single section of elastic material—folded over on itself—forming an A-frame in the back. It delivers limited vertical stretch in order to add further stability. In the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat. Assos also focused on a single insert platform, which allowed the freedom to reassess what is most crucial to a streamlined, race-spec insert. They reduced the overall footprint to shed additional weight, employed superAir microShock foam with 3D waffle, incorporated the kraterCooler system to increase airflow up front, and took additional measures to anchor the insert at the rear with a patented horizontal stabilizer. The result? Signature Assos comfort, stabilized.

The ideal sock for demanding rides in warmer climates, where breathability and targeted support are most crucial. To create an ultralight sock that’s as comfortable as it is supportive, Assos took a hard look at the yarns themselves. Testing in warm-weather conditions eventually led to Hydrogen, a buttery-soft microfiber that’s blended with Lycra to deliver a light compressive hold along the foot, ankle, and lower leg using a seamless construction. From there they targeted the arch, wrapping it with a ribbed band of airy mesh for further support and boosted breathability, along with a contrasting band along the Achilles for a clean finish.

Maximum thermal protection and body-mapped comfort in a long-sleeved base layer, tuned for the coldest, most demanding winter riding conditions. Building on our protective Winter LS Skin Layer, the Ultraz edition turns up the warmth and windblocking capabilities even further with its wool-blended knit. We see this as the ultimate defensive first layer in the most challenging winter conditions, as it goes into overdrive at the core level to keep you dry and your temperature stable. A robust arctic-tuned blend of polypropylene and wool are employed, serving as the ultimate next-to-skin foundation when maximum thermal- and windblocking-protection are most critical. The Ultraz relies on a Circular Seamless construction that's both ultrasoft and free of irritating side seams. The sleeves are sewn directly into the armholes to promote a full range of motion beneath additional layers.

A bib-free training and endurance cycling short that's at home on the road or aboard the indoor trainer. Bibs aren't for everyone, but their absence compounds the difficulty of dialing the perfect ride-tuned fit. The bib-free Zero-Pressure waist embodies our C2 AEPD click-fit ethos with a secure hold on the sides and back, and a panel insert on the front stretches to accommodate aggressive positioning on the bike and deep breathing during hard efforts. The updated insert inherited increased ventilation from our premium models, and 3mm of additional thickness increase long-ride comfort. - 80%PA 20%EA

A breathable, lightly insulated half knicker engineered for spring/fall conditions when tights are too warm and shorts are too cool. We engineered these knickers for fall and spring rides where knee coverage and a touch of insulation are just the ticket, as they feature a blend of ultrasoft and insulating fabrics, along with our proven female-specific insert and signature regularFit. RX EVO makes up the majority of the paneling. This brushed warp-knit fabric provides exceptional comfort, wicks moisture, adds high levels of insulation, and remains extremely flexible. The waist benefits from ultrasoft warp-knit Aerofit, which is knitted with an open structure for maximum ventilation and featuring high elasticity plus built-in odorControl. The knickers' fabric technology ensures that the fronts of your legs stay shielded from biting winds and cold air, while the backs benefit from added breathability. Its fold-over front panel design at the waist creates a smooth, pressure-free transition between the body and fabric.

The UMA GT Women’s Half Shorts set a new standard in on-the-bike comfort and female-specific design. The UMA GT Women’s Half Shorts blend several proven textiles and construction techniques to create a truly unique pair of shorts that are as fast as they are comfortable. Like our high-end Laalalai Shorts, they’re cut from Type.439 Diadema, a fabric chosen for its exceptional stretch, high-wicking, and compressive capabilities. Wind-tunnel tested and using our aerodynamic Fenomeno1 design, these are our some of our fastest women’s cycling shorts yet. The precise fit comes down to the waistband design, where we applied our breathable, ultrasoft Aerofit material at the front, using a fold-over construction that comfortably holds the shorts in place across the abdominals. We did the same at the lower legs, adding a secure, stay-put fit with an asymmetrical hold on the thighs. Compared to our Laalalai shorts, these are 2.5cm shorter in length. And in terms of the insert, we’ve sewn in the lightweight, breathable S7 EVO to deliver targeted support and all-day comfort.

A second-skin winter jacket built for training in cold conditions, the johDah equips you with the breathable insulation that actively regulates temperature and moisture-management based on your level of exertion. Maybe the aeroFit of our summer-weight RS series spoiled us, but we find the bulky, ill-fitting jackets available for winter cycling unacceptable. Realizing our race-fit ambitions required an all-new line of warm and weatherproof softshells, we developed the SPHERE series, which replace our Stratagon line. Various weights of SPHERE panels arrayed throughout the jacket's body create a winter-worthy second skin that responds to exertion and motion by breathing and regulating internal temperature. During easy efforts, the jacket warms; as effort ramps up, so does breathability and ventilation, maintaining a comfortable, dry microclimate, regardless of exertion and the external conditions. The johDah reacts to you like a literal second skin, as though it's an actual part of your body. The aeroFit tailoring does nothing to disabuse you of that impression. SPHERE membranes carry the bulk of duties with waterproof, windproof panels of varying insulation levels and stretch, but a key supporting cast drawing from our OSMOS thermal line and the 3L ZigZaggy Foam ensure breathable warmth in areas that aren't exposed to the elements. Our aeroFit is mapped to WorldTour bodies for the most aerodynamic, aggressive fit we've ever produced—restrictive on foot, but second-skin sleek in the saddle. Through the magic of textile engineering and targeted paneling, we've ensured that shielding against the elements no longer means sloppy tailoring.

The GT Winter Booties use the same membrane-backed NEOS material as our winterproof jackets, keeping your feet and ankles fully protected in cold winter conditions. For the past several seasons, we’ve been testing our jacket-proven NEOS softshells as worthy bootie textiles, knowing their waterproof, flexible, and breathable properties would also be favorable in a complementing overshoe. NEOS Medium is the primary textile used, as its 3L softshell with PU bonded membrane breathes, blocks wind and water, and adds big doses of insulation to your feet and ankles. The booties feature a reverse camlock zipper, while our zeroCuff creates the smoothest transition possible between your legs and the fabric, furthering the aerodynamic profile.

Maximum thermal protection and body-mapped comfort in a long-sleeved base layer, tuned for the coldest, most demanding winter conditions. Building on our protective Winter LS Skin Layer, the Ultraz edition turns up the warmth and windblocking capabilities even further with its wool-blended knit. We see this as the ultimate defensive first layer in the most challenging winter conditions, as it goes into overdrive at the core level to keep you dry and your temperature stable. A robust arctic-tuned blend of polypropylene and wool are employed, serving as the ultimate next-to-skin foundation when maximum thermal- and windblocking-protection are most critical. The Ultraz relies on a Circular Seamless construction that's both ultrasoft and free of irritating side seams, and the raglan sleeves promote a full range of motion beneath additional layers.

Thermal bib shorts for training and racing in the cool, dry conditions of spring and fall. These shorts are built for cyclists committed to the racing and training program, regardless of falling temperatures. BEHIND THE PRODUCT These bib shorts are appropriate for cooler temperatures that don’t yet warrant knee or full-leg coverage. The thermal insulation is reinforced with inclusions (the twinDeck construction on the crotch panel) and omissions (we left out the kraterCooler chamois ventilation in that same panel) designed to preserve core warmth without providing too much coverage. The balance of warmth and breathability recommend these shorts for tempo efforts and base miles in cool temperatures, and the addition of warmers—secured with the shorts’ Ultralight Leg Grippers—lets them follow the mercury still further down the thermometer.

The Stahlstern jersey is an ASSOS cycling badge of honor. Part of our single-run, limited-edition Cycling Art series. The Stahlstern is built on the evolved MILLE GT C2 EVO platform. We opened the front of the collar and updated the fit across the chest and throat, relieving pressure for easier breathing and less restriction. The sleeves and collar feature a new material that's almost 30% lighter than the previous jersey's sleeve material while retaining the highly elastic, wrapping fit and active moisture management. The new bonded hem and zipper reduce friction between layers and rippling across the stomach while in the riding position. - 73%PL 15%PA 12%EA

A long-sleeved base layer tuned for the cold, demanding conditions of winter riding, featuring an insulating knit structure and seamless construction to keep you dry and insulated from the base up. Temperature regulation is the key performance indicator of any base layer, and this is especially true for a winter version. But winter poses a specific host of challenges not found in other climaCodes, namely in the form of added cold air and your additional layers. This is where our new Winter LS Skin Layer fills the gap, tuned with a thicker knit "weight," taller collar, and more stretch than our Spring/Fall version for boosted insulation and flexibility under your outer apparel. A winter-tuned blend of carbon and polypropylene yarns—plus elastane— are employed, which draws moisture away from your skin and insulates your core, keeping you dry, insulated, and comfortable from the outset. The Winter Skin Layer relies on a Circular Seamless construction that's free of irritating side seams. The sleeves are sewn directly into the armhole to promote a full range of motion beneath additional layers.

An effective replacement for the thermal jersey/light vest combo we often resort to in early spring and late fall, eliminating the bulk of stacked zippers and the fuss of readjusting layers mid-ride. This "jacket" is the next evolutionary step for the ubiquitous thermal jersey. Its body features the same construction as our Winter Face Mask, a twinDeck model that stacks a breathable, moisture-managing, wind-cutting face fabric atop a soft, insulating inner material. Our patented Diffusor vents at the shoulders actively regulate body temperature when you're digging deep in the drops and unzipping isn't a viable option. When we write "regulate," we don't just mean by warming—when exertion ramps up, it's easy to overheat, even in the cold, so our Diffusor tech shuttles air through to vent body heat and internal moisture as exhaust when needed. Insulation and breathability wrap your core courtesy of the sandwich of our Rhombus and Push Pull textiles, while the lighter, more elastic SONIC-SN extends thermal protection the length of your arms with a soft, body-mapping ribbed texture. Our aeroFit is an aggressive, compressive, race-tuned cut, and it's complemented here with a ribbed rear hem that dials the waist fit and raw-cut, silicone-grip cuffs.

Lightly insulated knickers for cool conditions and long-distance riding, with extended knee coverage and stormproof textiles. Updated with features to enhance stability, reduce seams, and improve support. We redesigned the pre-shaped panels to reduce seam count, and we also shed grams without sacrificing the light compression and long-distance comfort MILLE embodies. The Knickers are updated with our race-inspired X-Frame bib design, which stabilizes the insert and body panels throughout the pedal motion and while cornering. The new model is also updated with our MILLE GT C2 insert, which adds 2mm of plush comfort for long rides maintaining form or building base miles for the coming season. - 86%PA 14%EA

A medium-weight, short-sleeve base layer tuned to keep your core lightly insulated and dry in cool conditions. This protective layer sets the foundation of our ASSOS Layering System, doing the job of keeping your upper half lightly insulated and dry in the cool, challenging conditions of spring and fall. Having been tested over and over again by our product team until we were finally satisfied, the Spring/Fall SS Skin Layer represents a total first-layer reset. A cool-weather-tuned blend of carbon and polypropylene yarns are employed to pull moisture away from your skin and insulate your core, keeping you dry, insulated, and comfortable from the outset. The thicker Circular Seamless construction introduces a tubular knit that's free of side seams, creating an ultrasoft, comfortable feel against the body. The sleeves are sewn directly into the armhole to promote a full range of motion beneath additional layers.

An elevated, race-tuned neck warmer to provide respite from the coldest weather and deliver core warmth. The perfect companion piece for winter rides, Assos has re-engineered their classic and ever-popular neck protector with the latest, ultra-luxe fabrics and re-tailored its construction for ergonomics. The result is indisputably high levels of comfort and warmth from this small yet hugely significant piece. Using Assos' latest combination of natural and synthetic yarns, this piece is a whizz at providing wind protection and just as deft at breathability.

Cycling socks with midweight insulation for riding in cold, low-light conditions. In cold weather, staying dry is imperative to staying warm, so we engineered a unique yarn that provides midweight insulation while transferring moisture like a summer sock, ensuring the added warmth isn't lost to clammy chill. We also added a strip of highly visible STL textile on the Achilles and a ring of Winter 3/3 blue around the arch, increasing your visibility on the road and your socks' visibility in a drawer of black cycling equipment. Cotton-wrapped elastomer provides soft, breathable insulation. STL (Spot The Light) incorporates photoluminescent threads to add light to your pedal stroke in low-light conditions. 160-needle construction eliminates seams for a frictionless fit that wraps in gently compressive support, preventing slumping or restrictive pinching at the cuff.

A midweight solution for the chilly, damp conditions of shoulder season cycling. The Spring Fall Leg Warmers are warmer and more water-repellent than our Leg Foils, but they don't have the higher insulation and premium finishing details of the RS version. They lock in body heat but banish moisture—the ideal blend for cool- to cold-weather cycling. RX Light is a staple thermal material for all the right reasons: lightly brushed, softly insulating, eminently breathable, water-repellent, and flexible enough to move unimpeded through the pedal stroke. A single-seam, body-mapping pattern hugs your muscles in warm comfort rather than stretching across your skin, providing a buttery compressive feel and wrinkle-free fit at the knees.

Light insulation, seamless comfort, and full-arm coverage in a long-sleeve base layer complete with a female-specific cut for the colder conditions encountered in late fall and early spring. It's crucial that our upper body gets an added boost against the elements during those cold fall and early spring conditions. As a solution, we developed the Spring/Fall LS Skin Layer, which has taken the torch from our iconic Skinfoil base layers with a completely revamped design and all-new blend of fibers. To start, we've lowered the weight by about 8% and used a tubular knit technology that's free of irritating side seams. A cool-weather-tuned blend of carbon and polypropylene yarns are employed to pull moisture away from your skin and insulate your core, keeping you dry, insulated, and comfortable from the outset. The thicker Circular Seamless construction introduces a tubular knit that's free of side seams, creating an ultrasoft, comfortable feel against the body. Our female-specific cut mirrors the body in the saddle, with raglan-cut sleeves continuing up to the neck for maximum range of motion.

Race-tuned warmers engineered to the specifications of our WorldTour riders for uncompromising comfort and premium finishing details. Our test riders and WorldTour athletes requested some changes to our standard Spring Fall Leg Warmers. This is the result. The OSMOS Medium material is the same used in our premium winter jackets and tights, and it provides better temperature regulation and durability than the RX Light material in our standard Spring Fall warmers. The RS warmers also include ankle zips so they're easier to strip in the saddle, and increased grip ensures they stay in place when you need them. Thermal insulation, moisture management, pedal-friendly stretch, active temperature regulation—OSMOS Medium checks all the boxes that make for good warmers. A single-seam, body-mapping pattern hugs your muscles in warm comfort rather than stretching across your skin, providing a buttery compressive feel and wrinkle-free fit at the knees.
