With Assos there is no such item as a humble shoulder season knicker. There is more design and fabric technology in this UMA GT Spring Fall Half Knickers than one could reasonably expect, and it is matched by wonderful fit, function, and performance for the female cyclist who requires a seat pad equipped high quality knicker. Perfect for cool fall and spring rides where knee coverage and a touch of insulation are just the ticket, these knickers feature a blend of ultrasoft and insulating fabrics, along with Assos proven UMA GT EVO female-specific insert and signature fit.

To make a knicker that would meet the demands of spring and fall’s cooler and often variable conditions, the designers applied new textiles specifically for the task. Fleecy RX EVO makes up the majority of the paneling. The fabric is an evolution of the workhorse RX, and features an ECO water-repellent treatment for protection from light precipitation. The panels on the back of the legs are made up of RX Light for breathability in this high-flex zone, with both brushed-back textile weights remaining ultrasoft against the skin.

The fit is lightly compressive, which it needs to be to offer support, retain heat, and wick moisture, but not as tight as the Assos racingFit apparel. The fabric panels flex with each pedal stroke, as they’re both pre-shaped and sewn to fully wrap and support the upper and lower leg muscles while in motion. The chamois insert is the UMA GT for plush, total comfort on every ride , with support and high breathability from the 3D waffle foam. Every waistband should be supportive and comfortable, and the fold-over 2L Waist design is one of the best, It smoothly wraps across the abdominals for a secure, pressure-free fit, distributing support over a wider area and feeling gentle on the skin.
