Pants for cold weather and long-distance rides cover the knees even better than your previous model, made of weather-resistant fabrics. They have been further optimized and Assos has added new details that improve stability, require fewer seams and provide better support with high functionality.
Pre-shaped parts have been redesigned to reduce the number of seams. They've also dropped a few extra grams of weight without compromising the lightweight compression and long distance comfort that the MILLE series represents. The shorts also now feature a race-inspired X-Frame bib design that stabilizes the pads and shorts throughout the pedaling motion. The new model also has a MILLE GT C2 liner that adds extra comfort for long distance riding. So you can keep in shape or start basic training for the upcoming season in both fall and spring.
Features of the 3/4 pants with straps
OWN FABRIC
RX EVO fabric provides thermal insulation for moderately variable temperatures in spring and fall. The brushed inner fabric is incredibly soft on the skin, breathable and water-repellent, so moisture inside and out is no longer an issue. The "True Black" material stays black and doesn't fade even when stretched at the knee.
CONSTRUCTION/USE
The optimized regularFit cut offers absolute comfort on long rides in cooler temperatures. With an open waistband and less restrictive elastic waistband, the briefs are less cut in the waist and calves for a comfortable fit.
ENGINEERING
- X-Frame: the frame of the Equipe summer bibs is shaped like the letter A. It prevents sagging in the lower back and stabilizes the pad.
- zeroPressure Waist: New waistband design that offers even more comfort and support at the waist with soft, extremely stretchy material that does not exert pressure or pinch.
- Ultralight Leg Grippers: elastic woven edges provide a secure, pinch-free fit.
- Shock-Absorb Damping Mono: Compression layers of 11mm thick foam designed for durability. Thermo-molded fit reduces uncomfortable transitions and friction.
- goldenGate: A stitch pattern where the pad moves freely - with you instead of against you.
- 3D Waffle: Patented three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and doesn't add excess weight.
