ASSOS DYORA RS BIB SHORTS

Assos has taken everything it learned making the men’s EQUIPE S9 racing collection and incorporated it into the DYORA RS collection, setting a new bar for women’s apparel. The DYORA RS bib shorts feature Assos’ proven A-Lock bracing system combined with the brand’s ergoBox, a square pattern that frames the chamois in the back to keep it steady. External rollBar bib straps further help keep the chamois in place. And speaking of the chamois, it offers maximum comfort, from its breathable waffle textile and microShock foam to Assos’ goldenGate technology, which allows the chamois to move with your body, reducing friction and letting you focus on the ride.

PACTIMO ASCENT AERO MESH JERSEY

The Ascent, one of Pactimo’s best-selling jerseys, has been completely revamped for 2020. Most noticeably, the collar sits lower on the front and tapers up to the back for a more comfortable fit at the neck. And because it’s the small details that set a high-end jersey apart, a YKK semi-automatic lock zipper allows for one-handed operation. This lightweight, race-cut version, the Ascent Aero Mesh, is ready to tackle hot summer days and steep climbs alike.
