AtEscapa, we know that when the cold weather sets in, a good base layer is essential for keeping your body warm and dry.

TheAssos Women’s Winter LS Skin Layer Long-Sleeve Base Layer is designed with a thicker, slightly heavier knit fabric, a higher neckline, and greater elasticity to provide enhanced insulation and flexibility under outer layers. It’s worth noting that the Assos Women’s Winter LS Skin Layer Long-Sleeve Base Layer is a complete departure from previous base layers, as it now features a completely redesigned cut and a new fiber blend. Its seamless circular knit construction eliminates those annoying side seams.

Features:

- Fabric composed of a blend of carbon, polypropylene, and elastane fibers designed for winter, as it wicks moisture away from the body and provides insulation in the torso area to keep you dry, protected, and comfortable from the start.

- Seamless circular-knit technology: This tubular fabric has 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 even under additional layers.

Sizing/Fit:

The cut of Assos garments is designed with the riding position in mind.

Some Assos garments are specifically designed for riders with an athletic build.

Assos cuts are anatomical, based on the A.E.P.D. (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) system; therefore, Assos has designed its garments with the cyclist’s protection and comfort in mind, without creating excessive pressure points.

The best way to experience Assos’s anatomical precision is to put on their garments and assume the riding position; you’ll feel how the clothing adapts perfectly to the cyclist’s posture.

Obviously, Assos does not make clothing that is comfortable to wear off the bike; this is a common perception among customers. Purchasing the wrong size (too large or too small) will result in comfort issues for the customer. A garment that is too large could cause irritation and discomfort due to folds or excess fabric. If the garment is too small, it will put excessive strain on the seams and stitching, leading to increased pressure and discomfort.

Tips for use:

· 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. That’s why the straps may feel too tight when you’re standing; the excessive pressure disappears once you’re on the bike. If this isn’t the case, check your size

· Avoid overstretching the shorts when urinating (for men). It’s best 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 mild, neutral liquid 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. Allow your clothing to air dry in a place out of direct sunlight

Storage:

· After each ride, store your Assos garments in a well-ventilated area, although 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’s recommended that you rinse the garment in cold water after each ride. This will protect the fibers from bacteria that could damage the fabric
