THE als CONCEPT

ASSOS offers a technically advanced apparel system in which every item is conceived and designed to complement one another and function together, allowing year-round, comfortable cycling. In the mid-seventies, ASSOS introduced a completely new generation of cycling apparel that made

CAP stingerCap_S7

thick, bulky, and heavy wool / acrylic garments obsolete. A new era of intelligent body insulation had begun. The year is divided into 7 riding seasons, from Spring to Winter plus.

CAP stingerCap_S7

The als objective is to keep your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s internal micro-climate stable, warm and dry under various conditions. The ASSOS als outfit chart is a guideline and varies according to your physique, metabolism, weight and heart rate.

The advantage of the ASSOS wardrobe is its versatility. To als yourself properly requires experience; it is up to you to experiment with different ASSOS garments in order to find your perfect, personal als according to the weather / riding conditions.

WHAT IS IT? Following the successful launch of the first three zegho models, we are introducing a NEW variant: mod. eXploit. Technically, it is based on the original zegho but features a NEW color shade for the lens, WITHOUT tunnelVision technology, and a NEW color scheme for the frame: black & gold

THE LENS The brown lens â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which incorporates a flat spectrum and a yellow component â&#x20AC;&#x201C; absorbs short wavelengths, so it enhances contrast and colour, making your surroundings stand out. Terrain details and potential road hazards are more visible. The lens also reduces blue light, which, being close to ultraviolet on the light spectrum, is potentially harmful to the human eye. zegho eXploit is recommended for medium to high light conditions. Compared to the black lens, it has slightly higher light transmission, making it a little more versatile and satisfactory for tunnel passages.

AT ASSOS WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO JOIN THE RUSVELO SCIENTIFIC & UNIQUE PROJECT. IT REPRESENTS AN IDEAL PARTNERSHIP BECAUSE WE SHARE THEIR MINDSET ON R&D AND THEIR APPRECIATION FOR CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY. THIS ENABLES US TO WORK WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM THAT CREATES THE DETERMINATION TO EXCEED EXPECTATIONS. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO RUSVELO AND ITS PROMOTERS FOR HAVING TAKEN THIS INITIATIVE TO ELEVATE AND REDEFINE THE PEAK OF HIGH PERFORMANCE CYCLING AND INVITING ASSOS TO BE A PART OF IT.

S13 NEWS

WHAT IS IT? The NEW generation of ASSOS bodyInsulators replaces the interactive series. It’s a complete construction platform change. No more preShaped panels. Instead, we opted for seamless, tubular construction. Why? Less expensive, less restrictive, more comfortable fit. Nevertheless, the garments’ performance is just as good, if not better, than the previous interactive models, thanks to the meticulously calibrated choice of the custom-designed yarn matrix.

ALS CLIMARANGE The skinFoil series of bodyInsulators comprises all you will need: Only seven models, covering the seven ALS climaRanges, from spring.1 to winterPlus.7. Each is designed to ideally complement your second layer of ASSOS jersey or jacket, making a perfect match!.

ASSOS bodyInsulators are fundamental to the proper functioning of your ALS. The bodyInsulator is your first, next-to-skin layer. It must fit properly, or your ASSOS outfit will not perform as it is designed to.

ALS TIPS The skinFoil series of bodyInsulators comprises all you will need: Only seven models, covering the seven ASSOS ALS climaRanges, from spring.1 to winterPlus.7. Each is designed to ideally complement your second layer of ASSOS jersey or jacket, making a perfect match! The beauty of the skinFoils is that you can experiment with them. You can try a heavier or lighter skinFoil under your chosen ASSOS jersey or jacket, allowing you to perfectly calibrate your outfit to your personal needs and preferences. Higher-intensity riding requires lighter outfits, and vice-versa.

TECHNOLOGY seamless, next-to-skin AEPD extreme elasticity = extreme body adaptation zeroPressure = total comfort bodyMap = different thickness, structure and or elasticity, depending on the body area, giving maximum performance, breathability and intelligent protection. intelligent body temperature regulation advanced push-pull effect antistatic, antibacterial

THE CONSTRUCTION Seamless construction allows for a pleasing, non-restrictive, total comfort fit. The textile has not been knit using flatbed technology; it is spun on tubular machines, much like a sock.

THE KEY FABRIC skinFoil yarns use an innovative polypropylene fiber blend that is extraordinarily light and able to absorb, transport and evaporate moisture quickly and efficiently. As well, its anti-odor fiber matrix is dermatologically tested and approved.

NEWS_S13

CONCLUSION High performance jerseys and jackets cannot reach 100% of their performance potential if the next-to-skin layer does not function properly. Thus, the new ASSOS skinFoil bodyInsulator series has been specifically designed to go with your ASSOS jersey or jacket, from both an ergonomic and a technical point of view, making it the perfect next-to-skin layer for ASSOS riders. You need it!

This is it! The successor to the intermediateEvo Lady. This is the brand new, next-generation successor to the legendary intermediateEvo longsleeve jersey. Before intermediate, this type of cycling jersey did not exist. Very simple in concept, very effective on the bike: it is a summer jersey with longsleeves and a protective airBlock front panel. With the introduction of the iJ.intermediate_s7, we have elevated its performance, lowered its volume and increased your comfort, providing ideally light protection against chilling winds without overheating.

ALS CLIMARANGE Outfit spring.1 and Outfit fall.4

HOW TO USE IT? The iJ.intermediate_s7 provides total comfort and light protection when temperatures are a bit chilly but not cold. Ideally suited for early morning rides or when riding in rapidly changing climatic conditions, such as in MTB.

ALS TIPS Always combine your iJ.intermediate_s7 with your ASSOS interactive bodyInsulator as the first, next-to-skin layer. ASSOS offers a specific bodyInsulator for each of our seven climaRanges. To extend the versatility of your iJ.intermediate_s7 equipment, combine it with a lighter or heavier bodyInsulator, choosing the one that best suits the riding conditions and your preferences.

THE CONSTRUCTION The iJ.intermediate_s7 features 6 different textiles, 17 patterns and 14 components. Using apparel engineering that follows the ASSOS philosophy of cycling-specific body-mapping pattern design and combining it with ASSOS AEPD know-how results in a piece of high performance technical body equipment. • Front panel: new stratagonUltra airBlock fabric. Advantages: Extreme stretch, extreme low volume, advanced breathability transmission factor. • Side and rear panels made out of the new ASSOS Type.vX121 summer fabric, as used on the new SS.Uno_s7. Advantage: SPEED! 34% faster drying process compared to the previous generation. This creates a better-performing body-temperature-regulation function. • Upper arms feature a brand new, superlight, fleecy type of insulation fabric. Nicely adhering, it keeps your arms cozy and well protected, and provides total freedom of movement. • NEW: the front collar features airBlock protection, too. • Full zip with upper part flap protection. • Three rear pockets. The center one is zippered and made of membrane incorporated fabric to give its contents light water protection. • WristWrap: Better and more stable fit of the sleeves thanks to this new ASSOS construction feature.

CAMPIONISSIMO AEPD ASSOS Ergonomic Pattern Design. racingCut, pre-shaped, tailored to fit you in the cycling position, it follows your movements without restriction. And, like all ASSOS Lady garments, specifically designed to fit the female body.

NEWS_S13

ATTENTION: It is very important for you to choose your correct size. Your intermediate_s7 must contour closely to your body. So, when standing upright, it may tug or pull, but drop into the cycling position and feel the intermediate click on — perfectly!

THE KEY FABRICS The airBlock stratagonUltra fabric used for the front panel is an exclusive R&D product of the ASSOS textile laboratory and its network of textile engineers. Engineered specifically for the demands of the ASSOS cycling body application and not commercially available, it represents the very latest, or shall we say next, development stage of thermo-response membrane fabrics: • Micro-thin two-layer memoryfoil shield composite • Impermeability: 11.200mm H2O • Nonporous, hydrophilic • Molecule gapping technology. It’s alive! • Flexible barrier function enables it to respond to your body temperature and perspiration level • Extremely low volume, thin and high tech. MADE IN SWITZERLAND!

CONCLUSION Performance equipment for ladies. A wardrobe must-have for ladies who ride a lot and demand total protection and comfort.
