Which Assos bib shorts for cool weather?

Assos gives each bib a temperature range. All the summer models we carry — Equipe, Dyora, Mille, Uma and Tactica Kieskäfer — are rated above +21 °C. The Mille GTS Spring Fall S11 and the Tactica Spring Fall T5 (men’s and women’s) are rated +12 to +20 °C, and the Dyora R Spring Fall S11 is the warmest, rated +4 to +11 °C. None is a rain garment: Assos rates the Dyora R Spring Fall 2/5 for wind and water protection and the Mille GTS and Tactica Spring Fall 1/5 — they shed spray and light showers, not a downpour.

What is Assos’s Endurance Series (Mille and Uma)?

Mille | Endurance (men) and Uma | Endurance (women) are what Assos describes as its complete series for long-distance riding: streamlined regularFit cuts, ultra-plush inserts and muscle-hugging, temperature-regulating fabrics. Our Mille GT, GTS, GTO and GTS Spring Fall, and the Uma GT, GTV and GT Half Shorts, are in it. Assos rates these bibs 4/5 or 5/5 for endurance; for racing, look at Equipe | Racing (men) and Dyora | Racing (women).

What do S11, T5, C2, ST and 2/3 mean in Assos names?

S11, T5 and C2 are Assos generation names: S11 is the current generation of the Equipe/Dyora racing and Mille/Uma endurance bibs, T5 the current Tactica gravel range (Assos says the Tactica Kieskäfer T5 replaces the Mille GTC Kiespanzer C2), and C2 the earlier Mille/Uma generation, still on sale while stock lasts. Assos doesn’t explain the letters themselves. In our titles, “ST” means Assos’s Standard leg length (the Long version is 3 cm longer) and “2/3” is Assos’s spring-fall season code (1/3 summer, 3/3 winter).

How do Assos bib shorts fit, and which size should I pick?

Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, then factor in your height, with the fullest part of your hips as a third reference, and check Assos’s chart in the size guide. Assos cuts its bibs to mirror your body on the bike: it’s normal to feel the straps and fabric pull while standing, and the shorts “click” into place once you’re in the riding position.

GTS S11 · 9+4 mm

Assos’s Mille GTS S11 chamois (twin layer, 9 + 4 mm), with Shock-Absorb Damping System Twin, 3D Waffle and goldenGate 2.0.

DIAMOND Ultra + OSMOS Light

DIAMOND Ultra is Assos’s new 2-layer softshell membrane, the lightest of its DIAMOND family: highly elastic for a second-skin, pressure-free fit. OSMOS Light, the lightest of Assos’s OSMOS insulating fabrics, regulates temperature to prevent overheating.

regularFit

A streamlined regularFit for long training rides and cool-weather base miles, with the GTS line’s extra aerodynamics. Longer legs extend coverage down the thigh and a raw-cut waist reduces constriction. In Assos’s fit guide, regularFit is a balanced technical fit with moderately compressive fabrics: supportive without the tight feel of the Racing models.

rollBar

A patented bib-strap bracing adapted from Assos’s Racing Series. It stabilises the insert and locks it in place as your weight shifts when sprinting, climbing and cornering.

zeroPressure Waist

A soft, very elastic waist construction for comfort and hold at the waist without pressure or pinching.

PILtec Plug-In

A light, very breathable textile band at the leg opening. The microdot silicone is invisible from outside but holds the leg in place, wet or dry.

Shock-Absorb Damping System Twin (13 mm)

A dual-layer, 13 mm construction of fast-drying, high-density foams — 4 mm of targeted support on a 9 mm base. One layer absorbs shocks, the other damps micro-vibrations.

3D Waffle

A patented, three-layer perforated foam that adds breathability and removes excess weight (Assos).

goldenGate 2.0

A free-floating construction that moves with your body rather than against it; new cut-outs on the wings reduce friction through the pedal stroke (Assos).

Assos: measure the narrowest part of your waist, then factor in your height; use the fullest part of your hips as a third reference. Assos apparel is cut to mirror your body on the bike — it’s normal to feel bib straps and fabric pull while standing; in the riding position the garment clicks into place.

How to measure

Chest: around the fullest part, under the arms. Waist: around your natural waistline. Hips: around the fullest part. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
