When the cold sets in, a good base layer is essential for keeping your body warm and dry; that’s why Escapa offers you a wide selection of the best brands.

The Assos Women's Ultraz Winter LS Skin Layer Long-Sleeve Base Layer offers greater wind resistance and heat retention than the Winter LS Skin Layer on which it is based, thanks to its knit fabric with a blend of wool fibers. It works directly on the core to help keep you dry and at a stable temperature.The Assos Women's Ultraz Winter LS Skin Layer Long-Sleeve Base Layer featuresa seamless circular knit design that is ultra-soft against the skin, meaning you can forget about those annoying side seams.

Fabric composed of a blend of solid polypropylene and wool fibers designed for the most extreme cold, resulting in the ultimate base layer when maximum thermal protection and wind resistance are needed. 

Seamless circular knit technology: this is a tubular fabric with no side seams, providing an ultra-soft, comfortable feel against the skin

Set-in sleeves: the sleeves are sewn directly into the armholes, allowing for full range of motion under additional layers

Care instructions:

· Never pull on the seams when putting on or taking off Assos garments

· Before getting on the bike, make sure your clothing is properly positioned, especially the chamois and other pressure points, without straining the seams or seams

· Assos cycling shorts are designed for cycling. This is why the straps may feel tight when standing; the excessive pressure disappears when on the bike. If this is not the case, check your size

· Avoid overstretching the shorts when urinating (for men). It is better to do this by pulling the garment from the waistband and the straps, always leaning forward to reduce tension on the seams

· Avoid riding near branches and bushes, as this will undoubtedly damage your clothing

Washing tip:

· Whenever you wash Assos garments, try to wash them separately from the rest of your laundry; this will prevent friction with other fabrics and preserve the properties of your Assos clothing

· Always separate dark clothes from light ones

· Before each wash, turn the garments inside out

· Assos garments can be machine-washed, but always use the protective bag and a delicate cycle (maximum 30°C)

· Do not use fabric softeners or harsh detergents. Always use liquid, neutral detergents (e.g., Assos Active Wear Cleaner)

· Do not stretch or wring out Assos garments, even to remove excess water

· Never use a dryer on Assos garments. Let your clothes air dry in a place not exposed to direct sunlight

Storage:

· After each ride, store Assos garments in a well-ventilated area, though ideally you should wash them immediately after riding

· Do not dry or store garments in direct sunlight

· Never store garments in a damp, enclosed space (avoid plastic bags, gym bags, etc.)

· If you tend to sweat a lot, it is recommended that you rinse the garment in cold water after each ride. This will protect the fibers from bacteria that could damage the fabric.
