Needing the loo when out on a ride for us girls is a bit of an annoyance and can often cause unnecessarily long mid-ride stops when trying to remove a hundred different jackets, jerseys and other winter layers! Imagine a world without this hassle, a world where weak-bladdered individuals can ride in peace. Many brands have previously attempted to eliminate this struggle using other techniques, like a singular front clip or a zip at the rear. This actually isn’t the first version of Assos’ clip bib shorts – the T.LaalalaiShorts_S7 were the first edition. The company has since changed from one clip to two clips at the rear and says, "the textile was also improved, shedding grams and gaining permanent odor-control and active cooling". Being a major part of its new Unlock Possible collection, the UMA GTV Bib shorts really stand out from the crowd.
The Swiss developed company Assos is a classic go-to on the road cycling scene but now, with a large movement in cycling towards off-road gravel biking, Assos is keeping up with the trends and catering for all. Designing the bulk of its kit in the Assos Lab, it ensures premium levels of comfort and body-shaping technology on pretty much all of its collections.
