Assos Mille GT Spring/Fall Bib Knickers S11

The Assos Mille GT Spring/Fall Bib Knickers S11 solve a specific problem in shoulder-season riding: the temperature where full-length tights feel like overkill, but shorts or leg warmers leave your upper legs and core exposed to a chill you'll feel for the rest of the ride. The three-quarter-length knicker has always been the classic answer to that gap, and Assos updates the format here with modern technical details, midweight insulation, raw-cut cuffs, and a more comfortable endurance insert.

The main fabric is POLAR, a new thermoregulating textile made from over 50% pre-consumer recycled material. It's softer and more elastic than the material on the previous generation of GT Knickers, and it's breathable enough to avoid the clammy chill that comes from overheating mid-ride, since intensity and temperature both shift over the course of a long ride. A lightly brushed inner face traps warmth close to the skin without adding bulk, which is the balance a knicker needs to strike when it's covering less leg than a full tight but is still expected to keep you warm.

The raw-cut cuffs and stabilizing rollBar bib strap construction are both borrowed from Assos's Racing Series, bringing performance-level stability to a piece built primarily for endurance comfort. The chamois insert includes a Sundeck panel designed to reduce moisture retention, which matters on rides where you're managing temperature swings and don't want dampness adding to the chill. The Mille GT Spring/Fall Bib Knickers S11 come in Blackseries and are built for riders who want warmth on their upper legs and core during cool, dry rides without committing to full leg coverage.
