Women's Summer SS Skin Layer Holy White 0

Women's Summer SS Skin Layer Holy White 0

The Assos Women’s Summer SS Skin Layer in Holy White is an ultralight summer base layer with a seamless construction and a women-specific cut, designed for maximum cooling in hot conditions. The combination of Polypropylen and Carbonfasern wicks moisture quickly away from the skin, acts antibacterial and provides a dry feel under the jersey. Thanks to Circular Seamless knitting without side seams and a raglan-like sleeve construction, freedom of movement is preserved and chafing is minimized. Compared with earlier skinFoil models, the current Skin-Layer generation is also conceived to be lighter, which further improves summer performance.

Technical details and functions

The material blend of Polypropylen and Carbonfasern has been deliberately arranged so that sweat is spread and transported away faster; as a result the skin stays noticeably drier and odor formation is reduced. The Circular Seamless construction results in a tubular, even knit without disruptive seams, which feels pleasantly soft even on long rides. Raglan sleeves that run up to the neck support natural shoulder movement and minimize fabric overlap under bib shorts straps. Independent tests on the summer Skin-Layer range confirm the very soft hand feel, the seamless tactile sensation and strong Feuchtigkeitsmanagement – with the caveat that the layer can cool down quickly after stops if it is still damp. Additionally, the current SS version is noticeably lighter than its predecessor, which makes the Schichtsystem particularly efficient in summer.

Use cases and benefits

This summer undershirt plays to its strengths on hot rides around Zurich, by the lake or on climbs into the pre-Alps, where constant Schweissableitung is decisive. Under Road-, Gravel- or Trail-jerseys it provides more stable Klimamanagement, reduces friction and keeps the core noticeably drier. It is also a sensible first layer for Indoor-Training, since breathability remains high and moisture is quickly distributed before it can build up in the jersey. The short sleeves offer a bit more coverage under straps compared with sleeveless options and thus reduce potential pressure points. Riders who are frequently out in very warm weather benefit from the quick drying between intensity changes and the low Packvolumen in a saddlebag setup.

Fit, size and care instructions

Size 0 is aimed at female riders who need the smallest option in the Assos sizing system and prefer a close-fitting Next-to-Skin fit. Thanks to the elastic, seamless construction, the shirt fits like a second skin without adding bulk, and works under a variety of jersey cuts. The construction is designed for high Bewegungsfreiheit, keeping layering comfortable on long summer rides. Assos backs the product with a 2‑year warranty and positions the Skin-Layer family as a noticeably lighter, more efficient evolution of the earlier skinFoils. For best performance we recommend changing the base layer promptly after sweat-inducing sessions so that thermal balance remains stable even after a stop.
