R Winter Arm Warmers P1

Assos R Winter Arm Warmers P1

The Assos R Winter Arm Warmers P1 are designed for cool, wet days when you want to flexibly add and remove protective layers. The RX Extreme fabric offers a brushed, thermoregulating insulation with high breathability and is additionally water-repellent, so drizzle and spray water bead off better. Thanks to the sleek second-skin construction, the arm warmers can be easily worn under wind and rain layers and stowed away compactly in your jersey pocket when the weather changes. Ideal for spring, autumn and mild winter days in Swiss cycling life – from commuting to training rides in the Zurich lowlands.

Technical Details and Functions

The heart of the arm warmers is the RX Extreme warp-knit material, which stores heat, regulates moisture and enables longer dryness thanks to DWR treatment. The AEPD 11 racingFit follows a race-oriented cut that fits like a second skin and doesn't slip at high cadence. PILtec Plug-In ensures reliable fit: A micro-dotted silicone coating at the arm opening stabilizes arm warmers and jersey even in rain. Additionally, the raw-cut cuffs prevent bulky seams, making combining with jackets and gloves particularly comfortable. This maintains the balance of thermal protection, freedom of movement and breathability even in changeable Alpine weather.

Applications and Benefits

The R Winter Arm Warmers P1 show their strengths when the thermometer swings between fresh morning and milder midday temperatures. During road bike training, on gravel rides or daily commuting in the lowlands, they provide noticeable insulation without overheating. Combined with a wind vest or light rain jacket, they create very effective weather protection with minimal pack volume. If it stays dry or gets warmer, the arm warmers quickly go into the jersey pocket; if a shower approaches, they're ready for action again in no time. This makes them a practical choice for long base training sessions, brisk after-work rides and tours with changing elevation.

Fit, Care and Combination Tips

For a sporty-close fit, follow the Assos sizing system 0 to III; if you're between two sizes, choose tighter or slightly more comfortable depending on your compression preference. Washing at low temperature with sports detergent preserves the DWR treatment – please avoid fabric softener. For wet, windy days we recommend combining with a light wind or rain shell, which takes advantage of the layering benefit of the second-skin construction. On very cold days, you can usefully complement the arm warmers with an insulating winter jacket; when the weather clears, the duo of long-sleeve jersey and arm warmers is often enough. This keeps you flexible, warm and efficient on Swiss winter rides.
