Assos Summer Skin P1 Base Layer

The Assos Summer NS Skin P1 Sleeveless Base Layer Top has been redesigned to be more elastic, more breathable, and 15% lighter. The sleeveless design eliminates the build-up of layers under second-skin competition jersey sleeves.

Features:

• Open structure with permanent odour control through carbon infusion and great breathability and cooling airflow
• Designed with a second-skin fit to ensure low-volume layering and moisture management close to the skin

The cut of Assos garments has been designed based on the position on the bicycle. Some Assos garments have been particularly conceived for users with an athletic build. Assos cuts are anatomical, based on the A.E.P.D system (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design), therefore Assos has designed its garments with the cyclist's protection and adaptation in mind but without exceeding pressure points for the cyclist. The best way to feel the anatomical precision of Assos is to dress in their garments and position yourself on the bicycle; you will feel how the clothing perfectly adapts to the cycling posture. Obviously, Assos does not make clothing comfortable to wear off the bicycle, this is a normal sensation among customers.

Purchasing an incorrect size (too large or too small) will result in comfort issues for the customer. A garment that is too large could cause irritation and discomfort due to folds or excess fabric, as in that case the Assos sizing system ALS would not function perfectly. If the garment is too small, we would excessively stretch the joints and seams, which would result in increased pressure and discomfort.

Usage tips:

• Never pull on the seams when putting on or taking off Assos garments
• Before getting on the bicycle, correctly position the clothing, especially the chamois and other pressure points, without forcing the seams or joints
• Assos bib shorts have been designed for cycling. Therefore, the straps may pull excessively when standing, on the bicycle the excessive pressure disappears, if not, check your sizing
• Avoid stretching the bib shorts excessively when urinating (for men). It is better to perform this action by stretching the garment from the belly and straps, always leaning forward to reduce tension on the seams
• Avoid riding close to branches and bushes, as this will undoubtedly damage your garments

Washing advice:

• Each time you wash Assos garments, try to do so separately from the rest of the laundry, thus avoiding friction with other fabrics and preserving the properties of Assos clothing
• Always separate dark clothing from white
• Before each wash, turn the clothing inside out
• Assos garments can be machine washed, but always use a protective bag and a delicate wash programme (maximum 30C)
• Do not use fabric softeners or aggressive products for the fabrics. Always use liquid and neutral soaps (e.g., Assos Active Wear Cleaner)
• Do not stretch or wring Assos garments even to remove excess water
• Never use a tumble dryer with Assos garments. Let your clothing air dry in a place not exposed to the sun

Storage:

• After each ride, store Assos garments in a well-ventilated place, although ideally, you should wash them immediately after cycling
• Do not dry or store garments in direct sunlight
• Never store garments in a damp and enclosed place (avoid plastic bags, sports bags, etc.)
• If you tend to sweat a lot, it is advisable to rinse the garment in cold water after each ride. This will protect the fibres from bacteria that could damage the fabric
