Investing in long term cycling clothing

There is no way around it.  Assos is expensive.  Up front.  But their clothing not only features the best cycling pad we have tried the fabrics are the highest quality and more functionally superior than any piece of gear we have tried, in any sport, period.  We have articles that have lasted nearly 20 years of use.  It is worth it if you want to ride centuries, in cold weather or just feel superhuman fast on sunny day.  Below are guidelines for colder weather.  The layers can be mixed and matched to create the perfect system for nearly any weather.  And yes, we have ridden thousands of miles in driving rain with their rain gear as well.
