Assos Rs.sturmprinz Evo Shell - Men's
It was a dark and stormy night, and though your den had a roaring fire, and a glass of scotch was more than enticing, your bike gave you a longing gaze when you pulled into the garage, and you knew in that moment that you couldn't leave it hanging in a gloomy corner among camping gear, and lawn care equipment while you indulgently sipped away in your leather armchair. And so you stepped inside, but just briefly, to change from your work clothes into your Assos Rs.sturmprinz Evo Shell so you can embark on a blustery ride through the countryside, protected from harsh elements, and illuminating the road with bright reflective pops to keep you and your trusty steed safe as motorists bustle down the road.
When Assos set out to create the Rs.sturmprinz the task wasn't taken lightly. It needed to be a jacket that could withstand wind and rain, maintain lightweight packability, exceptional protection, and perhaps most importantly, fit flawlessly. The result of their high demands was a rain jacket designed to be waterproof and work with cyclists who are riding in nature's harshest conditions. To make the Rs.sturmprinz the engineers at Assos created two new fabrics, the Triton V1 and Triton V2. Triton V1 is the tougher, heavier, more waterproof fabric, and it was used for the front panels. Triton V2 is lighter, more breathable and was used in back. The Swiss-made Triton fabric is a temperature-sensitive waterproof-breathable membrane. This means that when it's cold, the membrane is less breathable, which is good, as it will help hold in your body heat. When it's warm, the membrane is more breathable, and it reacts by increasing moisture transport for better breathability.
Like previous years, the Rs.sturmprinz Evo features an airVent system to continue ventilation of perspiration to keep your core primed at the perfect temperature for riding. On the inside, the seams are sealed to reinforce waterproofing, ensuring no water can creep its way in through joints and seams. Another vent is located parallel with the shoulder blades to keep heat expelling through this zone. Both the wrist and neck have adjustable seals that you can tighten down to keep out moisture and frosty breezes, or loosen it when you need additional venting. This allows you to create your own microclimate that best fits your needs.
Adding the support you need for a ride to the microclimate, the jacket features a center back pocket for storing essentials. The pocket is sealed with a reflective zipper that tackles both keeping moisture out for protecting valuables, and boosting visibility when the cloud cover and downpour lead to dim lighting. On both sides of the jacket you'll find pocket flaps that work as vents, or access to the pockets of your inner jersey underneath.
Mavic Ksyrium Pro Thermo Gloves - Men's
In Mavic's clothing line, if a piece of gear comes with the venerable Ksyrium label, it means that warmth is priority number one. The Ksyrium Pro Thermo Gloves are designed for riding on seriously chilly days, and while they aren't the absolute warmest glove Mavic makes (that'd be the Ksyrium Pro Thermo+), they will keep your fingers warm on all but the most frigid winter rides. True to its function, the Ksyrium looks almost like a standard winter glove at first glance. The synthetic shell is treated with a water-repellent DWR coating, and the gloves are loaded with lightweight PrimaLoft Sport insulation that stays warm even when it gets wet.
While the Thermo+ has a lobster-claw design to keep your fingers together for extra warmth, the Thermo keeps your fingers separated for increased mobility. Mavic included a soft microfiber insert on the thumb for breathability and glasses wiping, and the AX suede palm with micro-dot grip lamination adds durability without sacrificing bar feel. Touchscreen-compatible inserts at the fingertips let you snap a quick photo of the conditions, so you can show everyone how hardcore you are. The long cuff seals up with a hook-and-loop tab to keep heat in and moisture out, and reflective highlights on the fingers help you stand out even when the weather is less than ideal.

Assos nS.superLeggera Sleeveless Jersey - Men's
The new nS.superLeggera Sleeveless Jersey is the next generation of ultralight Assos sleeveless jerseys. However, the nS.superLeggera wasn't designed to eliminate your farmer's tan — it's for hot-weather multi-sport racing. A summer rider's best friend, this sleeveless jersey is a unisex amalgamation of Assos' greatest technologies and materials. Lightweight, super-wicking, and wind-blocking, the nS.superLeggera Sleeveless Jersey is perfect for a warm summer ride by the water.
The nS.superLeggera sleeveless jersey is constructed from five textiles, 19 patterns, and 12 components. The front panels use a heavier proprietary custom fabric called .vX121. Assos made the front thicker for insulation and wind-blocking where your torso needs it most. Wicking is primarily regulated by the rear and side panels of the jersey. The side panels are made of a four-way contour stretch fabric for proper fit. On the rear of the jersey, there's a center panel running from the neck to the waist hem. This is a stabilizer panel with purposely limited vertical stretch. The stabilizer panel is the spine of the jersey, and its function is to provide the Assos signature 'click-on' fit. Additionally, the spine prevents sags from loaded pockets and promotes stretch horizontally in order to follow the body in motion. The collar, armholes, and back of the neck are all made of the same stretchy two-layer mesh material for soft wicking comfort.
The jersey features a new pattern design that's created for the sleeveless riding application. The nS.superLeggera is pre-shaped and uses "ergonomic tailoring" to adapt to the body's position while riding. The jersey has a full front zipper, three rear pockets, a front safety pocket, and a permanent antibacterial treatment. The nS.superLeggera sleeveless jersey is also able to be coupled with an Assos interactive body insulator in order to work as a spring vest. Multi-use equals more bang for your buck.
The Assos nS.superLeggera Sleeveless Jersey is available in six sizes from Small to TIR, and in colors Black Volkanga, Blue Calypso, Red Swiss, White Panther, and Yellow Volt.

Etxeondo Orhi Bib Short - Men's
The last thing you need when you're giving it your all is an uncomfortable pair of bib shorts. Your legs are burning, you're cross-eyed, chewing your stem desperately trying to hold on to the wheel in front of you for dear life. One more thing, like some uncomfortable bibs you should have canned at the end of last season, might be the final straw that has you throwing in the towel on the effort. Instead, invest in a pair of bib's like Etxeondo's Orhi Bibs and enjoy a pain-free ride, at least garment-wise.

Louis Garneau Connector Short - Men's
There is one constant on any trail: regardless of if we're running shuttle laps or on a self-powered sidecountry adventure, the ability to move freely in the saddle while throwing the bike through corners and into questionable lines is a must. Louis Garneau's Connector Men's Shorts rise to the occasion, providing plenty of stretch for sketchy terrain that demands a bit of body English. The body material is also water-resistant, so it helps keep showers from damping your buzz, and the addition of a mesh rear panel helps keep lower back sweat from becoming a rear-facing racing stripe.
The shorts are equipped with a removable liner, which adds additional element of versatility by letting you choose your degree of saddle intimacy. If you're letting 6+ inches of rear suspension do the work, leave the Profile MTB insert at home; if you're setting out on a 29er hardtail or gravel bike tour, the chamois' varying topography of high-density foam might literally save your ass. In the event that body English does become a feature of a given ride, the chamois' beveled edges and four-way stretch construction help prevent irritation.
