UMA GT 1/3 HalfKnickersC2

UMA GT 1/3 HalfKnickersC2

The UMA GT 1/3 HalfKnickersC2 are 3/4-length women's cycling shorts without straps for long rides in warm conditions when you want more UV protection and coverage than with shorts. Assos relies here on the new hipClick construction at the waist, which sits securely and fixes the pad – completely without straps and without squeezing. The lightweight, breathable Type.429 fabric offers pleasant compression and remains comfortable even on long Alpine passes in Switzerland. The designation 1/3 at Assos stands for the summer line, i.e. for use from warm temperatures, which clearly positions these knickers.

• hipClick waistband: secure fit and pad fixation without straps, ideal for comfort on long distances.
• Lightweight Type.429 fabric with breathable, lightly compressive support and integrated odorControl.
• Additional Tech Sheen Mesh panels for tailored muscle stability.
• UMA GT C2 seat pad with Shock-Absorb Damping Mono 9, goldenGate and 3D Waffle for long-distance comfort.
• Ultralight Leg Grippers ensure secure hold without pinching.
• Color: blackSeries, sizes from XS to 2XL for wide fit coverage.

Technical details and features

The core material Type.429 combines high elasticity with efficient moisture management and a light compression that noticeably supports your legs even on rolling terrain around Lake Zurich. Complementing this, Tech Sheen Mesh panels encase the muscles and refine the fit with a comfortably stabilizing effect. The optimized regularFit targets all-day comfort, while the new waist design supports the abdominal area and keeps the knickers securely in position. The UMA GT C2 pad relies on 9 mm dense damping foam, a free-moving goldenGate construction and the perforated 3D Waffle foam layer to distribute pressure peaks and keep breathability high.

Use cases and benefits

These 3/4 knickers show their strengths when you want more coverage for knees and calves and added UV protection in warm summer weather, without sacrificing airflow. They are suitable for long base rides on Lake Zurich, extended tours over gentle passes in the Swiss Mittelland or relaxed holiday kilometers in Ticino. The 3/4 length is also practical on cooler summer mornings or in changing conditions when shorts are too little but tights are too much. For the transitional season, an independent test of the spring/fall sister model shows how the hipClick design stabilizes a bandless fit – an approach that in this summer variant is tuned for lightness and breathability.

Additional notes on fit and features

The UMA GT 1/3 HalfKnickersC2 fit as a sportily comfortable regularFit and are tuned for a rather more upright, less aggressive riding position. The hipClick waistband keeps the panels and the pad reliably in place, which is noticeable on long climbs and with changing cadence. The leg finish with Ultralight Leg Grippers lies flat and avoids pressure edges under overshoes or socks. Material-wise Assos uses 80% polyamide and 20% elastane – a combination that unites durability, moisture management and stretch for everyday time in the saddle.
