Assos Equipe RS Winter bib tight - Black

Assos EQUIPE RS Winter Bib Tights S9 has made it possible to improve the legendary Bonka tights: the racing design, combined with the guarantee of total thermal insulation, keeps you in the saddle in the most extreme weather conditions, season after season. To begin with, the proven A-Lock Engineering system has been adapted to the tights. This support system guarantees total adherence to thicker fabrics, activating your muscles and wrapping them, hour after hour, with a light compressive grip. This new range of products keeps the chamois in place thanks to the ergoBox seams and the external rollBar shoulder straps, guaranteeing total support of the pelvis on the chamois, while you move in the saddle by shifting your body weight. When it comes to winter materials, our reliable double-layered twinDeck construction was used to protect the knees, thighs, crotch area and hips, combining the ultra-light, membrane-equipped double-layer SPHERE Ultra fabric with the offered insulation of the OSMOs Heavy combed fabric; for the outer back, the thicker SPHERE Medium fabric has been added. Developed in the laboratory, these rainproof and windproof fabrics allow for targeted protection in all areas of the body concerned, without ever compromising breathability. The EQUIPE RS chamois has been added to the chamois, tested for racing but without the kraterCooler ventilation holes, in the characteristic basalt color, equipped with superAir microShock foam, top layer in 3D waffle and exclusive ASSOS goldenGate technology.

•  
• A-Lock Engineering: S9 system of textiles and technologies working in harmony to stabilize the shorts and secure the insert in place.
• OSMOS Heavy: This warp-knit is the main textile and the heaviest in our brushed Osmos family (290g/m2), featuring asymmetrical stretch and a soft, durable construction. High levels of insulation are derived from the brushed skin-facing side.
• SPHERE Ultra: Applied in our twinDeck double-layer construction on the front crotch panel and in conjunction with OSMOS Heavy for added thermal insulation. A patented 2L windproof, waterproof, and highly breathable softshell constructed with a PU bonded membrane for added water-repellency—maximizing insulation while minimizing bulk. Weight: 140/m2; Breathability: MVP 40,000/m2/24h; Water Column: >10,000mm; Elasticity: 2-way stretch.
• SPHERE Medium: Used for the upper back panel, this is our thickest version of SPHERE. It’s a patented 3L windproof and highly breathable woven softshell constructed with a PU bonded membrane for added water-repellency. Weight: 320/m2; Breathability: MVP 20,000/m2/24h; Water Column: >10,000mm; Elasticity: 4-way stretch.
• twinDeck: Double-layer fabric construction boosts insulation throughout the tights, used in a combination of OSMOS Heavy and SPHERE Ultra.
• blasenSchutz: An abdomen and crotch panel made with our highly breathable, wind- and waterproof SPHERE Ultra material to increase comfort and warmth.
• rollBar: A patented bracing design that mimics a race car’s anti-sway bar by using the bib straps to stabilize the insert and lock it in place as your weight transfers from left to right while cornering.
• ergoBox: A square pattern construction that effectively frames the insert in the back, boxing it in for added stability.
• Carbon Xbib: A single section of elastic material—folded over on itself—forming a supportive A-frame that delivers limited vertical stretch in the rear. Above the “X” junction, a more flexible material is employed, incorporating an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat in the front.
• Taped Seams: Found the front panels, these increase the watertight properties of the tights.
• DWR: Treated with our Durable Water Repellent treatment to add one more level of insurance against the elements.
• waterBarrier: Our Geoprene outermost layer at the bottom of the leg that repels water and adheres to booties.
• EQUIPE RS Winter Insert: Race-spec elastic interface insert in 3D basalt colorway, minus the kraterCooler ventilation holes in the front.
• kukuPenthouse: A soft OSMOS Heavy layer added to the front part of the insert that supports the male anatomy, eliminates pressure, and increases ventilation.
• superAir microShock foam: A lightweight open cell foam with a shock absorbing composition that returns to its original position, filling the gap every time pedaling position is changed in the saddle through the shift of weight.
• 3D waffle: A patented, three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
• goldenGate: A patented technology that interrupts the stitching along both of the insert’s side panels, allowing a more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area.
• Reflective Bands: Placed on the backs of the calves for added visibility.
• aeroFit: Our trimmest, speed-focused fit that’s tighter and more compressive than our racingFit. May feel restrictive out of the riding position but feels like a second skin while riding.
• Color: black series.
