Women's Spring Fall SS Skin Layer

Assos Women's Spring Fall SS Skin Layer

The Assos Women's Spring Fall SS Skin Layer is a medium-weight short-sleeved base layer that reliably insulates and keeps the upper body dry in cool spring and autumn weather. The female-specific fit developed specifically for women sits close to the body and functions as the first layer in the proven ASSOS Layering System. Thanks to the low-seam Circular Seamless construction, the material sits comfortably on the skin and minimizes friction under jersey and jacket. The fiber blend with carbon and polypropylene yarns efficiently wicks moisture and supports stable body temperature on the bike. Composition according to manufacturer: 71% polypropylene, 22% polyamide, 4% elastane, 3% carbon fiber.

• Circular Seamless: tubular knit design without disruptive side seams
• Carbon-polypropylene blend for fast moisture management and comfortable insulation performance
• Raglan sleeves for great freedom of movement in riding position
• Female-specific fit tailored to female ergonomics
• Developed for cool Spring/Fall conditions in Swiss cycling
• Ideal as first layer under jersey, gilet or jacket

Technical Details and Functions

The slightly thicker Circular Seamless construction creates a soft, even wearing feel because side seams are eliminated and friction is significantly reduced. The blend of carbon and polypropylene yarns is designed for cooler days and quickly draws sweat away from the skin, so you feel dry and comfortable faster. The women-specific cut hugs the body in riding position, while raglan sleeves extending to the neck provide natural shoulder freedom. This keeps the first layer compact under jersey or jacket without adding bulk, and supports consistent microclimate regulation in changeable conditions. Composition and construction principles are manufacturer-verified and tailored to the ASSOS Layering System.

Applications and Benefits

This short-sleeved skin layer shows its strengths on cool morning rides, windy transition days and long descents after intense climbs. Worn under a Spring/Fall jersey or light jacket, it reduces the cooling effect of riding wind because moisture is wicked away faster and the upper body stays better insulated. In Swiss practice, this works both on commutes through Zurich and on brisk rides over rolling terrain or early alpine passes. The close-fitting cut supports layering, so additional layers above lie cleanly and can fully deploy their function. At the same time, the low-seam construction ensures high wearing comfort during long hours in the saddle.

The Women's Spring Fall SS Skin Layer is part of a clearly structured series with seasonal variants that makes layering intuitive: Summer for hot days, Spring/Fall for cool transitions and Winter for the cold period. This allows the base layer to be easily adapted to weather and intensity without losing the familiar wearing feel. Specialist media regularly highlight the performance of the ASSOS Skin Layer line, particularly in terms of comfort and warmth-to-weight ratio in cool conditions. For targeted combination, the manufacturer recommends wearing under matching Spring/Fall jerseys or jackets with the same system logic.
