In order to extract the very best performance from yourself, you’ll want the best kit. And when it comes to slippery cycling jerseys, the EQUIPE RS Summer Jersey Prof Edition can certainly rank up amongst the best. The jersey has had every detail scrutinised and examined to optimise both fit and performance, benefiting you when it comes riding hard and fast in training and racing. The aeroFit is extremely close-fitting, and while it may feel restrictive off the bike, it really comes into its own when the pressure is on and you're pushing the power through the pedals. Functional Fabrics After the fit, we come to functional fabrics. First comes the technical miniCheck Tex fabric. This 3D knit fabric is extremely elastic to give you the close aero fit needed to go fast without wasting your hard-earned watts. But not just that, it's highly breathable too, ensuring you don't get overwhelmed with sweat when your race and training efforts intensify. Meanwhile, the rear of the jersey sees Assos' featherweight Stabilizer textile deployed. This holds the jersey smoothly in place thanks to its limited vertical stretch, keeping airflow smooth and uninterrupted. Lastly, taking into account a low and aggressive riding position, the raw bonded sleeves, yoke and pockets ensure smooth transitions while remaining incredibly flexible. Practicality Built-in While the Equipe RS is, of course, speed-focused, Assos haven't overlooked more practical requirements. An ultralight bonded cam-lock zipper to the front gives you control of ventilation, while the triple ramp pocket design allows very easy access to all your essentials. A lightweight taped waist keeps bulk low, the fit smooth and it's more durable than previous versions. Proven time again in the frenetic world of the pro peloton, the Assos EQUIPE RS Summer Jersey Prof Edition has certainly made its mark on the World Tour. And now you can enjoy the same benefits, minus team logos but with an added subtle but stylish fade print.
Part of the ASSOS Layering System, the ASSOSOIRES Summer Short Sleeve Skin Layer weighs in some 25% less than the Skinfoil base layer that preceded it. And with the Circular Seamless construction its brilliantly comfortable against the skin too, with no side seams to cause irritation. Then we come to moisture management, and here it's brilliant too. The blend of carbon and polypropylene provide a major step up in both breathability and sweat-wicking performance compared to previous generation base layers. And with anti-bacterial properties also present, it's a base layer that leaves you drier and fresher, even during the hottest and sweatiest of bike rides. To get the best out of your performance in the heat, it's the ideal start.
With the hands leading the way as you power through the air, it's an area ripe for making some aerodynamic gains. The RSR Speed Gloves have been created to complement the rest of the WorldTour proven EQUIPE RSR racing equipment and get you as many aero gains as possible. Those aero-gains begin with the use of the Windchannel Stripes material. This Lycra® blend warp knit gives an incredibly snug and smooth fit of the hands with little to no creasing. It's carefully deployed to reduce drag, particularly effective when you're on your aero-bar extensions during a time trial. Assos also give the gloves longer fingers and cuffs, further consolidating the aerodynamic second-skin fit. The bi-stretch property of Windchannel Stripe also offers light compression for greater comfort during high exertion efforts. The unpadded, high-grip palm offers a secure and natural feel on the bars while reducing weight. Lastly, raw-cut edges provide smooth transitions between glove and skin, enhancing streamlining and adding comfort.

With their development in the wind tunnel plus feedback and use by Pro riders in the WorldTour, you can be confident the RSR Speed Booties deliver meaningful gains when you're seeking a competitive advantage over your rivals. Starting at the ankles and cuffs, Assos use their aerodynamic Windchannel Stripes material. This Lycra® blend warp knit gives an incredibly snug and smooth fit with little to no creasing. As speeds increase it reduces drag to less than that of just your bare skin. The Zero Cuff design also gives an incredibly smooth fit, eliminating the ridge between shoe cover and skin. Over the front of the foot, you'll find EVA KANT material. The high-stretch characteristic of the fabric makes it ideal for aero applications, keeping the fit with your cycling shoes as snug as possible. And with wind- and waterproof protection, racing fast in inclement weather presents no problems.
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.

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.

To give a versatile and packable jacket, the MILLE GT Wind Jacket is made with Assos' Foil Ultra textile to the front. This lightweight fabric is windproof, water-repellent and breathable so you'll enjoy a nicely regulated micro-climate inside.

The combination strikes a balance of low pack weight and protection son you're happy to take the GT jacket on every ride without sacrificing too much space in your pockets. In terms of the fit of the jacket, this garment is less compressive than a racingFit, but more fitted than Assos' comfortFit. It bridges the gap between the two and provides the ideal balance between comfort, freedom of movement and performance.
The Winter Cap is made with Assos’ twinDeck double layer insulation system, holding securely onto the body heat you generate when cycling. Excellent breathability also prevents you from feeling a chill when you’re working up a sweat. The skull cap is of a circular seamless construction, giving it a snug but flexible fit.
