Assos Mille GT Spring Fall c2 3/4 Bib Shorts Black

The Assos Mille GT Spring Fall c2 3/4 bib shorts offer light insulation and maximum comfort on long distance rides in cold weather. They feature rain and splash resistant fabrics, with additional coverage beyond the knees. The pre-modelled panels have been redesigned to reduce the number of seams and the weight has been reduced without sacrificing the light compression and long-distance comfort that characterises the Mille line. This model features the race-oriented X-Frame bib design, which stabilises the chamois and body panels throughout the pedal stroke and during turns. They include the Mille GT c2 chamois pad, which adds 2mm of padding for long rides to maintain fitness or to prepare for the next season. RX EVO fabric provides mid-weight thermal insulation for moderate and variable temperatures common in spring and autumn. Their quilted inner layer has a soft feel with ECO breathability and water repellency that manages both internal and external moisture. The aerodynamic regularFit cut provides comfort during long-distance training and on long routes. The longer leg length extends thigh protection, while the hemless waistband reduces the uncomfortable feeling of tightness.

Mille GT c2 chamois pad: Pad that combines compressive layers of foam with a tough, shock-absorbing structure for excellent comfort throughout the ride.

Chamois pad features:
- Shock-Absorb Damping Mono: Compressive foam layers combined in a tough 11mm thick structure that cushions impacts. The shape is thermoformed to reduce roughness and irritation
- goldenGate: Sewing pattern that secures the front and back of the pad, but omits the body of the pad, allowing the pad to float and move along with your body rather than offering resistance
- 3D Waffle: This is a patented three-layer perforated foam cushioning system that increases breathability and reduces excess weight

Features:
- X-Frame: A-frame bib structure inherited from the Equipe RSR Summer bib shorts. This technology prevents loosening of the garment at the lower back and stabilises the chamois and main panel
- zeroPressure Waist: Waistband design incorporating a soft, high stretch material to increase comfort and support at the waist, while reducing any tightness or compression
- Ultralight Leg Grippers: Elastic treatment incorporated between the fibres of the bands provides a secure hold without offering resistance

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
