Lightly insulating tights with a racing cut for the pre-winter seasons, they are developed on the S9 platform to guarantee maximum stability and friction-free comfort when pedaling at full throttle.
While the EQUIPE RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts and Leggings combination offers the same coverage and versatility, there are days when wearing a classic full-body tight is unparalleled. The seamless cut hugs and provides consistent levels of thermal insulation to the legs during long duration training sessions, avoiding any friction between fabric and skin near the leg hem.
Technology overview
The peculiarities
Fabrics : The main fabric used for these tights is OSMOS Light, the lightest version of the OSMOS brushed winter fabric family. The brushed side on the inside is highly insulating, breathable and extremely soft in contact with the skin. The compactness of the warp-knit fabric guarantees resistance to abrasion and supports the leg muscles thanks to the overall structure. Together, these two components of the fabric create a pleasant compressive seal on the legs, promoting circulation and keeping the heat evenly distributed on the legs. Since the front panel is more exposed to the air, Assos has applied a second layer of our OSMOS Medium fabric, a patented two-layer construction called twinDeck, which blocks cold air while maintaining breathability.
Construction/Fit : Developed on the S9 raceFit platform, these tights feature the A-Lock Engineering system to offer maximum stability and keep the pad in place while you pedal. This is combined with the rollBar braces and the ergoBox system which, during intense efforts, ensure friction-free comfort and stability with every shift of body weight on the saddle.
-
blasenSchutz : Panel covering the abdomen and groin area, made with the twinDeck two-layer construction to increase thermal insulation, used in combination with Fiamma and OSMOS Medium.
-
Carbon Above the
- Seamless raw cut finish for waist and hems, which avoids any friction between fabric and skin.
-
Pad (without kraterCooler holes) : Race-specific elastic in three-dimensional basalt color, without the kraterCooler ventilation holes on the front.
-
superAir microShock foam : Ultra-light open-cell foam, capable of cushioning blows and quickly restoring its original thickness, following the shift in body weight every time you change position in the saddle.
-
3D waffle : Patented three-layer perforated foam, which increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
-
goldenGate : Patented technology that avoids sewing the seat pad to the shorts laterally, offering more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this delicate part subject to rotational movements.
