Here is a quick look at part of the new fall/winter line from Assos that we’ll have stocked the beginning of next September. The great thing about Assos is that they make such high quality and high performing clothing that they don’t come out with new clothing every year. For example the current rain jacket has been around for longer than I can remember. Same with the leg and arm warmers. So when Assos does come out with something new, it’s worth taking a second look.
Last year Assos made some changes to a few pieces of their fall/winter line and added a few new items. Mainly the tights and knickers were totally revamped and we can tell you from many thousands of miles so far that they are amazing. The fit is super ergonomic and they do what they are supposed to, keep the cyclist comfortable in adverse weather.
That being said, here is what’s new for next fall/winter…
RAIN.
The back of the sturmPrinz. This flap you see here is not a pocket but serves two purposes. One is to offer extra ventilation and the other is to offer access to the jersey pockets underneath. No more pulling the jacket halfway up your back to grab your ham and cheese sandwich!
And then there is this guy. The Assos climaSchutz. This is a very re-worked version of the current climaJet jacket. We have a feeling that this will be our best selling rain jacket next year hands down. This is meant to be more of a stow-able rain jacket. It will come in a vest version as well.
Another look at the sJ.climaSchutz
Again, like the rS.sturmPrinz, the sJ.climaSchutz allows easy access to jersey pockets.
More vents on the side and under arm…
the Assos rainBootie S7. We are very much looking forward to these. We know a few guys who have been testing these for over a year and the feedback is great news to our ears. They have a tighter cuff on the top of the booty to keep water from running down the leg and into the shoes. They seem to be very durable if you keep walking around to a minimum of course. They will come in 3 sizes.
The LL.fugu S5 bib tights. If you ride in Antarctica these are your tights. Meant to pair with the Fugu jacket, these are the warmest looking bib tights we have ever seen. Not really made for Northern California so we’ll have to take a riding trip somewhere frigid just to get the chance to ride in them! We’ll have them in stock but in limited numbers, so if you want a pair, get in touch with us now. Assos won’t be bringing many into the states the first year…
Another look at the LL.fugu tight. We’ll have more pictures when we get out to Switzerland again next month.
The back of the iJ.tiburu jersey.
The iJ.bonka.6 jacket. Think of this as an updated AirJack. It will come in Black, White, Red (shown), Blue Calypso and Yellow Volt.
Back of the iJ.bonka.6 jacket. 3 BIG pockets plus a large zippered pocket.
The new Assos winterBootie S7. In black and white (shown) and 3 sizes.
These are the Assos fuguBootie. Hardcore, cold and wet bootie. In person these looked amazing, more thought put into a bootie than we’ve ever seen ever before…
The new Assos earlyWinterGloves S7. Again, they feel warm without being bulky. Two colors, black and white (shown). XXS-XLG
