So often we find ourselves reading about kit that’s essentially been designed for the professional ranks but is required to be sold to the masses to help the accounts balance. Many of these products are well designed, impressive even, but often not best suited to the kind of daily riding that most cyclists involve themselves in. Fit can be a challenge for us mere mortals, and the needs of racing, mean the clothing it produces can lack the practicality we need when out on the road. The latest evolution of Assos’ Mille/Uma GT continues to eschew the pro-peloton chat, with a range created for practicality and comfort.
We've reviewed a number of items from this Assos range over the years, the most recent of which was from Andy Turner who awarded four stars for the Assos Mille GTO LS jersey, and whilst Assos kit is not cheap, it features regularly in our buyer's guides, as despite the hefty price tag, it's generally very good kit. The Assos Mille C2 bib shorts were a top performer, in our best bib shorts guide.
