Assos UMA GT spring/fall cycling shorts long S11 women blue

The Assos Uma GT Spring Fall Bib Tights S11 is a bibtight for the cool, dry days of late spring and early autumn. Medium insulation keeps your legs warm between +12 and +20 degrees, without overheating you the moment the sun comes out or you turn onto a climb.

The Uma GT belongs to the endurance line, so it is tuned for long rides and comfort over hours rather than short explosive efforts.

Assos Uma GT Spring Fall Bib Tights S11 at a glance

• POLAR fabric at 250 g/m2: medium-weight knit with a brushed inner face that holds warmth without building bulk.
• Temperature range +12 to +20 degrees: the gap between a short and a winter tight filled exactly.
• Breathability 4 out of 5: moisture can escape when the pace lifts, so you do not turn clammy on the descent.
• Uma GT S11 pad: 12 mm cushioning platform with 3D Waffle foam, anatomically shaped for long rides.
• rollBar: patented reinforcement from the Racing Series that keeps the pad stable while sprinting and climbing.
• goldenGate 2.0: a free-moving pad that follows your pedal stroke instead of working against it.
• zeroPressure waistband: soft and very elastic, no band digging into your stomach on long rides.
• Raw cut finish: flat finish at ankle and waist for a clean transition to socks, overshoes and jersey.

Warmth without bulk

The POLAR fabric weighs 250 grams per square metre and has a brushed inner face that traps a thin layer of air. That layer does the insulating work, while the outside stays compact and smooth. On a crisp September morning ride you notice it as warm legs without the sense of wearing an extra layer. For rides of three or four hours that is more pleasant than a thick winter tight you are too warm in after an hour.

Comfort over long distances

The Uma GT S11 pad is anatomically shaped and has a 12 mm cushioning platform with 3D Waffle foam: three layers of perforated material that absorb shock and let air through. The rollBar reinforcement keeps the pad in place when you get out of the saddle, and goldenGate 2.0 lets the pad move freely with your legs. On long rides that prevents the folds and pressure points you feel towards the end.

Meeting the rest of your kit

The raw cut finish at the ankles is slim and flat, with no elastic and no thick seam. As a result the leg does not bunch under an overshoe and does not ride up into your sock. The same finish sits at the waist, which helps under a jersey or jacket. The zeroPressure waistband spreads pressure across a wide area rather than pinching in a narrow band.

Good to know

This is an insulating tight, not a weatherproof one. Wind resistance and water resistance both score 1 out of 5, so in a cold headwind or rain you pair it with a wind short or choose from the winter line. If you regularly ride below 12 degrees, you will be warmer in a winter tight.

Material composition: main fabric 86% polyamide, 14% elastane; pad 85% polyester, 15% elastane.

Frequently asked questions about the Assos Uma GT Spring Fall Bib Tights S11

At what temperatures should I wear this bibtight?

Assos quotes +12 to +20 degrees in dry conditions. That is the typical spring and autumn weather in which a short is too cold and a winter tight is too warm. If you feel the cold quickly or ride at a steady pace, you will be happier at the bottom of that range in a winter tight.

Is this tight windproof or waterproof?

No. Wind resistance and water resistance both score 1 out of 5, because the tight is made to insulate and breathe. For a cold headwind or longer spells of rain you pull a wind short over the top or choose a tight from the winter line with a protective front panel.

How thick is the pad?

The Uma GT S11 pad has a 12 mm cushioning platform with three layers of perforated 3D Waffle foam. That is at the thicker end of the Assos range, intended for long endurance rides. The perforations let air through, so the pad does not turn warm and clammy.

What is the difference with the Uma GTV?

This is the Spring Fall version of the Uma GT platform, made for cool, dry conditions with medium insulation. The GTV line has a different build and its own pad. Look mainly at the temperature range and the pad thickness to decide which one suits your riding.

Does the leg ride up under overshoes?

No, that is what the raw cut finish is for. The leg ends in a flat edge with no elastic and no thick seam, so nothing bunches under an overshoe. That keeps the transition between tight, sock and shoe clean and prevents pressure points.
