Keeping you dry to the bone when the heavens open, Assos' Assosoires Rain Bootie is the perfect protection for your cycling footwear. Designed for performance it is impressively lightweight and the zip-free construction is incredibly waterproof.
When Fabian Cancellara rode to Gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics he wore the Assosoires Spring Fall Booties, ensuring that they performed at the highest level before being released to the public. They're designed to provide a good degree of protection in spring and autumn but with their wrinkle-free fit, they also enhance aerodynamic performance. The lightweight two-layer fabric maintains a reliable barrier against cold winds and shrugs off road spray and light rain while not compromising on breathability. The no-zip design reduces bulk, reduces seams where water could seep in and improves the aero fit. An overshoe for fast riding and racing in changeable weather conditions.
Extensive riding and testing in spring and autumn led Assos to create the ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Socks, marrying the lightweight comfort of your favourite summer socks with a touch of insulation to fend off cooler temperatures. To enhance moisture transfer the socks feature a unique hexagonal and square knit, it quickly wicks moisture through the yarns to the outer surface, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable inside your shoes. The seamless construction removes any irritation, a ribbed arch provides enhanced support across the foot and a reflective band up the back keeps you safe and seen in lower light conditions. With the spring/fall yellow climaCode you'll also know which socks to grab from your sock drawer.
Cycling in cool autumnal and spring conditions can be difficult to dress for. You can soon be too hot and sweaty after harder efforts which then makes you cold when you back off the pace. And yet take it steady and you can soon feel a chill. The ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Skin Layer looks to address this dilemma. For a start, the carbon and polypropylene yarns offer significantly improved insulation and moisture management in comparison to previous models of Assos base layers. The technical blend of medium-weight fabrics balances both excellent insulation levels with an impressive ability to rapidly wick away sweat from the skin. The result is a smooth, insulating, and antibacterial short-sleeve first layer that keeps your core dry and protected under your outer layers. 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. Thanks to this construction it's some 11% lighter than it's Skinfoil predecessors too, making it less noticeable than ever before. It's the perfect first layer of your transitional season's cycling wardrobe.
Whether you've pushed your endurance limits on an epic all-day bike ride or pushed through the pain barrier during an intense interval session, as soon as you hop off the bike it's time to begin the recovery process. And with the ASSOSOIRES Recovery Socks, recovery starts as soon as you pull them on. Assos uses their InfraRed yarns, featuring a high percentage of elastomer and blended with Lycra, to give graduated compression for your legs. It starts firm across the foot and ankle and gradually eases in pressure as it moves up the leg. This encourages circulation, flushing the muscles with blood, speeding waste removal and aiding overall recovery. The arch also benefits from a ribbed band, adding further support and improving breathability, while the seamless construction does away with unnecessary seams. These socks keep your feet cool and comfortable as you rest up.
Comfortable, supportive, warm and visible, the Assos ASSOSOIRES Winter Cycling Socks tick all the right boxes when it comes to cycling in winter. A unique cotton-wrapped elastomer blend provides a lightly compressive fit for brilliant comfort, while also keeping the foot and ankle warm. The blended knit is also exceptionally good at dealing with moisture build-up, transferring sweat through the yarns to the outside, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable inside your cycling shoes. The seamless construction removes any irritation, a ribbed arch provides enhanced support across the foot and, a reflective band up the back keeps you safe and seen in lower light conditions. With the winter blue climaCode, you'll also know which socks to grab from your sock drawer when winter hits.
To provide waterproof and breathable protection over the shoe box, the ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Toe Covers G2 use Assos' 3L NEOS Light softshell. This is a tried and trusted fabric used for many of their waterproof jackets and features an ultralight membrane to keep the elements out. All the overshoe's seams are taped too, ensuring cold winds, icy road spray and rain showers can't creep inside when you're pedalling. On the underside of the toe covers, you'll find a tough reinforced material that boosts both durability and grip. A silicone inner band holds the covers in place and raw-cut zeroCuffs ensure a smooth finish that won't spoil the look of your favourite road shoes.
Rather than a traditional 'tube' construction, Assos gives their ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Neck Foil triangle side panels to more closely follow the shape of your face and neck. And when used alongside the Circular Seamless construction, which removes the need for seams, this unique design of neck tube offers superb levels of comfort. The ultrasoft polypropylene fibres provide excellent levels of breathability so not only are you kept warm you won't get too hot and sweaty either. It's a winter cycling accessory that while not glamourous will add another level of comfort to your ride.
While it may seem counter-intuitive to wear a headband when it’s hot, the ultralight ASSOSOIRES Summer Headband makes perfect sense. Made from functional fibres, it deals with perspiration very efficiently, drawing it away from your skin so as to leave you dry and comfortable when the heat is on.
Made using their Circular Seamless tubular knit technology, the Assos ASSOSOIRES Neck Foil does away with seams to leave an ultrasoft and smooth feel against the skin. The polyamide yarns are incredibly good at wicking away moisture, giving you a breathable extra layer around the neck and head which leaves you dry and sweat-free come what may.
The ASSOSOIRES Robo Foil G2 Cap is made from hydrophobic fibres that pull moisture away from the skin while also pushing it to the outer surface of the cap where it can evaporate away. This keeps your head cooler and drier when compared to caps made from traditional polyester blends. The Circular Seamless technology eliminates side seams leaving a smooth and super soft feel against the skin. The ultraviolet protection factor of 30 keeps you nicely covered when the sun is beating down.
Using Assos' Linear Seamless technology, the ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Liner Gloves provide a silky-smooth fit and no seams between your fingers for enhanced comfort and dexterity. Raw-cut cuffs also add to the luxurious feel and allow a smooth fit with your jackets and jerseys as well as a smooth fit under winter gloves. Cool temperatures are combated via the insulating polypropylene and polyamide fibres, holding in warmth you generate when riding. And thanks to excellent breathability, your hands enjoy perfect temperature regulation whether you're riding fast or taking it slower. A tonal Assos logo knitted into the back of the hands provides a classy finishing touch to these versatile cycling gloves.
