Assos Women’s UMA GT Half Shorts C2 Long

Assos Women’s UMA GT Half Shorts C2 (long)

If you prefer the flexibility and convenience of cycling in waist shorts but still want the finest level of performance, the Assos Women’s UMA GT Half Shorts C2 (long) are a top pick. the extra leg length also adds extra thigh coverage.

It may seem an easy task to make waist cycling shorts, and yes it’s easy to make ok ones, but far harder to make great ones that don’t pinch or add pressure. And you can rely on Assos to make great ones.

With the absence of bib straps to give support, Assos created their zeroPressure waist design, with comfort and flexibility at its core. The sides and back provide the firm fit needed for a non-slip fit. While across the belly a flexible panel allows for low riding positions and the deep breathing of harder efforts. 

You’ll also find a highly breathable mesh waistband extending upwards, ensuring there are no revealing gaps between your shorts and jersey.

Endurance Fit and Feel

With a focus on long training rides, endurance events, indoor training, and everyday cycling comfort, Assos chose to use their Type.429 fabric for the UMA GTs. This highly functional fabric delivers a snug flexible fit to ensure you slip through the air with ease.

It’s also highly breathable, perfect for high summer rides and durable to resist the abuse of countless kilometres on the saddle. And with light compression, helps push back fatigue as your rides get longer, matching the longer days of summer.

Assos AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) Regular Fit 

Finding the perfect harmony of long-ride comfort and smooth, flexible fit, the Assos AEPD Regular Fit is based upon Assos’ race models but it’s more accommodating of different shapes and sizes.

The comfort also extends to the leg grippers. 3.5mm in depth and using LYCRA® with woven silicone grip, they provide a secure non-bulge fit while giving a smooth and uninterrupted transition from shorts to skin.

Women’s UMA GT C2 Insert

With 9mm of cushioning and the ‘floating’ design of goldenGate location to move the pad with your body not against you, the Women’s UMA GT C2 pad is intensely comfortable, supportive and shock-absorbing. Compressive foam layers provide endurance-focused support on the saddle.

The 3D Waffle design uses a three-layer construction, with perforated foams to enhance breathability and airflow. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation while the odour-resistant top sheet maintains freshness.
