Assos Equipe RS Spring Fall S9 Bib Tights Black

The Assos Equipe RS Spring Fall S9 bib tights offer lightweight thermal insulation for spring and autumn training sessions. Made along the lines of the S9 generation, this garment offers great stability and comfort without friction during the moments of maximum effort on the bike. Its silhouette provides seamless support and even levels of insulation throughout the lower body during long rides, plus a virtually seamless transition between the skin and the hem of the lower legs. It features OSMOS Light, the lowest volume fabric in the OSMOS fleece-lined fabric family, as the main fabric. The brushed interior provides light insulation, breathability and softness to the touch. The knitted fabric on the outside acts as protection, thus offering additional muscle support thanks to its compression structure. Together, these two textile components create a pleasant leg support that promotes circulation and uniform warmth throughout the body. Since the front panel is the area that suffers the most from the wind on bad weather days, a second layer of OSMOS Medium fabric has been applied to the patented twinDeck design, cushioning chilly wind currents without compromising the breathability of the garment.

Made following the raceFit line of the S9 generation, this garment features the A-Lock Engineering system, which guarantees maximum stability and secures the position of the pad while pedaling.
The rollBar external shoulder straps and the ergonomic ergoBox structure form the perfect composition to offer the highest stability and comfort without friction during the moments of maximum effort on the bike. EQUIPE RS S9 chamois pad included.

The EQUIPE RS S9 chamois without kraterCooler holes: this is an elastic chamois designed for competitions with a 3D design in the basalt colour range that does not have kraterCooler ventilation holes on the front.

Chamois pad features:
- SuperAir microShock foam: Open-cell foam with a composition that absorbs moisture and allows it to return to its initial position, making it possible to fill the gap every time the pedals are repositioned en route by shifting weight
- 3D waffle cushioning system: Patented three-layer perforated foam increases breathability and reduces excess weight
- goldenGate: Patented technology that represses seams on both sides of the pad panels to provide three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, friction-prone area

Features:
- blasenSchutz: Panel positioned at the abdomen and crotch made with the twinDeck double-layer design to enhance insulation, using a combination of Fiamma and OSMOS Medium fabrics
- Material Carbon Xbib: Section of elastic material, folded on itself to create an A-shaped support, achieving a limited vertical support at the back. In addition, a more flexible material with an antibacterial carbon fabric is used at the top of the X-shaped junction to wick away moisture and prevent the garment from buckling
- Raw-Cut hemless edges: Seamless finish at the hips and hems for the smoothest, most streamlined transition possible between the bib shorts and the other layers you wear

The Assos garments feature a specific cut which has been designed with your position on the bicycle in mind. Some Assos garments have been specially designed for users of athletic build. Assos garments have an anatomical fit, based on the AEPD system (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design), therefore Assos has designed their garments the cyclist's protection and adaptation in mind, but without overdoing on pressure points. The best way to feel Assos' anatomical precision is by wearing their garments and getting yourself in position on your bicycle. You will feel how the clothes adapt perfectly to your cycling posture. Obviously, Assos does not design clothing to be comfortable off the bike, this is a normal feeling among customers.

Purchasing the wrong size (too large or too small) will cause discomfort. A garment that is too large may cause irritation and discomfort due to folds or surpluses of the fabric, since in this case Assos' personal ALS sizing system would not work perfectly. If the garment is too small, the points of union and seams will stretch excessively, resulting in an increase in pressure and discomfort.

Suggestions for use:
- Never pull on seams when putting on or taking off Assos garments
- Before getting on the bicycle, properly put on your clothes, especially the seat pad and other pressure points, without forcing the seams or points of union
- Assos bib shorts are designed for cycling. This means the bib straps can be over stretched when standing up, on your bike this excessive pressure disappears, if this is not the case review your sizing
- Avoid over stretching the bib shorts when peeing (for men). It's best to do this by pulling the garment from the belly and the straps, always leaning forward to reduce tension on the seams
- Avoid cycling near branches and bushes, this will undoubtedly spoil your clothes

Washing advice:
- Each time you wash your Assos garments try to do so separately from the rest of your clothes, this way you will avoid friction with other fabrics and preserve the properties of your Assos garments
- Always separate dark clothes from whites
- Before each wash, turn the clothes inside out
- Assos clothes can be washed in the washing machine, but you must always use the protective bag and a washing program for delicate clothes (maximum 30C)
- Do not use fabric softeners or aggressive products. Always use liquid and neutral soaps (example, Assos Active Wear Cleaner)
- Do not stretch or squeeze Assos garments even to extract excess water
- Never use a tumble dryer with Assos garments. Let your clothes air dry, in a place not exposed to the sun

Storage:
- After each outing store your Assos garments in a well ventilated place, although it would be ideal to wash them immediately after getting off your bike
- Do not dry or store clothes in direct sunlight
- Never store the garments in a humid and enclosed place (avoid plastic bags, sports bags, etc.)
- If you tend to sweat a lot, it is recommended that you rinse the garment in cold water after each use. This will protect the fabrics from bacteria that could damage them
