Quick info: 9mm insert EQUIPE RS S9 no krater
ASSOS CLIMACODE 2.3 SPRING/FALL - color code yellow
ASSOS EQUIPE RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts bridge the gap between thermal bibtights and summer bibshorts. The thermal insulating, compressive textiles utilize the ASSOS S9 insert design platform. These thermal bibshorts provide warming comfort and protection and are extremely versatile. Utilized with essentials such as ASSOS knee warmers or leg warmers provides fine tuning for the perfect comfort range level.
Cool conditions of Spring and Fall don't always require full thermal bibtights. Enter the EQUIPE RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts S9—tuned for cool fall and spring riding conditions. ASSOS Spring/Fall equipment for cool days of early Fall and late Spring in Canada. Temperature range guide +10C to +20C. #equipmentnotclothing
Based on the summer ASSOS EQUIPE RS S9 bib short design, these thermal shorts include ASSOS A-Lock Engineering framework to brace the shorts and ensure they remain stabilized in the toughest riding environments. The thigh panels are constructed with ASSOS brushed-back Osmos Heavy textile and its technical two-in-one composition that provides several advantages.
The brushed interior is highly insulating, breathable and super soft against the skin. The warp-knit outer acts as the “shell” of the shorts, further supporting your leg muscles with its compressive structure. Together, these two components of the textile create a nice compressive hold on the legs, encouraging positive circulation and uniform warmth throughout. On the wind-facing front panel ASSOS Sphere Ultra textile is utilized with a double-layer twinDeck construction to lock out the icy cold air around the crotch area, while still remaining breathable.
The insert incorporates the race-proven EQUIPE RS S9 Insert—minus the kraterCooler ventilation holes—in the signature basalt colorway, equipped with superAir microShock foam, 3D waffle topsheet, along with the ASSOS-exclusive goldenGate technology and horizontal stabilizer in the rear.
TECHNOLOGY
A-Lock Engineering: S9 system of textiles and technologies working in harmony to stabilize the shorts and secure the insert in place.
Osmos Heavy: This warp-knit is the main bib short textile and the heaviest in our brushed Osmos family (290g/m2), featuring asymmetrical stretch and a soft, durable construction. High levels of insulation are derived from the brushed skin-facing side.
Sphere Ultra: Applied in our twinDeck double-layer construction on the front crotch panel for added thermal insulation. A patented 2L windproof, waterproof, and highly breathable softshell constructed with a PU bonded membrane for added water-repellency—maximizing insulation while minimizing bulk. Weight: 150g/m2; Elasticity: Bistretch.
rollBar: A patented bracing design that mimics a race car’s anti-sway bar by using the bib straps to stabilize the insert and lock it in place as your weight transfers from left to right while cornering.
ergoBox: A square pattern construction that effectively frames the insert in the back, boxing it in for added stability.
Butterfly Pattern: The primary textile panel fully wrapping the lower back and legs, coming together in the rear. Fewer seams leads to a more uniform hold, less weight, and greater comfort.
Carbon Xbib: A single section of elastic material—folded over on itself—forming a supportive A-frame that delivers limited vertical stretch in the rear. Above the “X” junction, a more flexible material is employed, incorporating an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat in the front.
Ultralight Leg Grippers: New Lycra leg band structure naturally grips the thigh—free of silicon treatment—to deliver a smooth, ultralight hold.
EQUIPE RS Insert (no krater): Race-spec elastic interface insert in 3D basalt colorway, minus the kraterCooler ventilation holes in the front.
superAir microShock foam: A lightweight open cell foam with a shock absorbing composition that returns to its original position, filling the gap every time pedalling position is changed in the saddle through the shift of weight.
3D waffle: A patented, three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
goldenGate: A patented technology that interrupts the stitching along both of the insert’s side panels, allowing a more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area.
Horizontal Stabilizer: A patented central stitch that secures the rear of the insert to the outer textile, eliminating shifting while pedaling out of the saddle.
