- RacingFit: the Liberty jersey is a great example of how good Assos is at making high-performance cycling clothing, using fabrics that have been created with the sole aim of being used for this purpose. Shaped to fit your body in the cycling position, this fabric feels fitted and adapts to any movement thanks to its Aero Racing bodymapping performance

The Assos garment cut is designed to stay in place while you're on your bike. Some Assos garments have been specifically designed for those with an athletic shape. The Assos fits are anatomical, as per the AEPD system (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design), so Assos has designed its clothing thinking about protection and adaptation to a cyclist without exceeding pressure points. The best way to feel the anatomical precision of Assos is to put on their clothes and get into position on a bike; you will feel like the clothes are perfectly suited to the riding position. Obviously, Assos doesn't made nice outfits to wear off-bike, this is a common opinion among customers.
Buying the wrong size (too big or too small) will cause problems in the customer's comfort. An item that is too big can cause irritations and discomfort from folds or surplus fabric, as this would stop the Assos ALS sizing system from working properly. With an item that is too small, we put excessive strain on the joins and seams, which increases pressure and discomfort.

Advice for use:
- Don't pull seams when you put on or take off Assos clothes
- Before getting onto your bike, put clothing on properly, especially bands and other pressure points, without forcing seams or joins.
- The Assos bibtights are designed for bike riding That means that the straps can be pulled too much when we stand up, when you get on the bike, the pressure should disappear, if not, then you need a different size
- Don't pull the bibtights too much when you use the toilet (for men). For this, it's better to pull the garment from the stomach area and straps, always leaning forward to reduce tension on the seams
- Avoid cycling near branches and bushes, as this is likely to break the clothing

Washing advice:
Every time you wash Assos garments, try to do this separately from other garments, this way you can avoid friction and preserve the properties of the Assos clothing
- Always separate lights and darks
- Before each wash, turn clothing inside out
- Assos clothing can be machine-washed, but always use a protective bag or delicate wash programme (maximum 30 degrees)
- Don't use fabric conditioner or aggressive products Always use neutral liquid soaps (Assos Active Wear Cleaner, for example)
- Don't stretch or squeeze Assos garments to extract excess water
- Don't use any kind of dryer on Assos clothes Leave your clothes to air dry, in a place that's sheltered from the sun

Storage:
- After every use, store the Assos garment in a well-ventilated place, although it would be ideal to wash it straight after your bike ride
- Don't dry or keep your item in direct sunlight
- Never leave garments in damp, closed places (avoid plastic bags, sports bags etc.)
- If you usually sweat a lot, you should rinse the garment in cold water after each bike ride This will protect the material from bacteria that could damage it
