RS Leg Warmers TARGA

RS Leg Warmers TARGA

The RS Leg Warmers TARGA from Assos are race-oriented leg warmers developed with feedback from WorldTour riders. The revised fit reduces pedaling drag and improves warmth protection on the outer thigh up to the hip. Practical ankle zippers make it easier to put on and take off while in the saddle and simplify stashing them on the go. A discreet skinGrip Finish with minimal silicone provides secure hold without pressure, while light compression and high breathability keep you comfortable throughout the training day. The TARGA version is available in Black and in sizes 0 to III, with a material composition of 63% polyamide, 20% elastane, 17% polyester.

Technical Details and Features

At the core is the OSMOS Medium fabric, a midweight, thermal warp-knit textile that combines active thermoregulation with high abrasion resistance and asymmetric stretch. Assos specifies a weight of 250 g/m² and UPF 50+ for OSMOS Medium; the material is developed in the in-house Textile Laboratory in Lugano. In the RS Leg Warmers TARGA this results in noticeable thermal performance alongside aggressive breathability, ideal for variable conditions. The racingFit construction sits close to the body without hindering the pedal stroke, creating an aerodynamic silhouette with light compression. The skinGrip finishes and the zippers at the ankle complete the function when quick layering and secure fit matter.

Use Cases and Benefits

These leg warmers are a strong choice for cool to changeable spring and autumn days on Swiss roads — from commuting through the Limmattal to fast intervals on the Uetliberg. Thanks to moderate insulation and high breathability, legs stay protected without overheating, which is especially helpful during intense training and hilly terrain. The ankle zippers make it easy to quickly stash them in the jersey pocket when the sun comes out or a climb warms you up. The secure fit from skinGrip prevents slipping under the bibshort, even on long descents on wet roads. Independent tests generally confirm Assos leg warmers offer very good fit and weather protection; the RS TARGA are positioned in the range as the more protective, race-oriented warmers.

Fit, Sizes and Service

The RS Leg Warmers TARGA are available in sizes 0, I, II, III and follow a sportily snug racingFit that sits optimally in riding position. For seamless layering the leg warmers are worn under the bibshort, where skinGrip and the anatomical cut provide stability. The material mix of polyamide, elastane and polyester supports comfortable compression and quick drying after sweat-inducing efforts. Assos also offers a 2‑year warranty as well as a Crash Policy; the manufacturer's terms apply. Current color: Black.
