Some cyclists swear by bibs, and Assos is looking to ring in the New Year Year with the new s7 line, the first update to the Swiss brand’s bibs in six years. The new line, which includes four models, is designed to be lighter and features fewer seams. It has softer compression and is designed to be even more breathable, which should be ideal on those long rides next year.

Fitting Performance
Assos has introduced a new pattern of cycling jersey that offers a fit between the brand’s SS.Uno and SS.Mille fits. Designed for athletes and those with larger body types the PerformanceFit jersey utilizes new fabric designed by the Assos Textile Lab.
The Type 151 fabric has less volume and is thus designed to react quickly to body temperatures, when riders perspire a lot the jersey reacts by speeding up the moisture transfer, and when riders cool it slows the evaporation process.
With a UV protection rating of 50+ this one will be good for a ride on a bright sunny day as well. It features zippered safety pockets with an inside opening for earphone cords, rear reflective visibility stripes and a covered full front zipper.
