I’m someone that likes a little bit more coverage than the standard shorts length but I also want to stay cool in the summer months. These tights were the perfect compromise. While coming to around mid calf on my 5ft4 stature they were very cool and comfortable. The legs did not ride up at all. The chamois was also one of the best I’ve tried but admittedly I haven’t worn these for roses over 50 miles but I have every confidence they’ll hold up over longer distances. Worth the money. I’m a UK12 and ordered the large.
Product Details
Assos UMA GT C2 Summer Womens Half Knicker
Perfect for cool summer days or early starts, Assos’ UMA GT C2 Summer Women's Half Knicker sits mid-calf for more coverage than a short, but less than a full tight.
The regularFit uses shaped panels and contoured for comfort in the riding position with the hipClick waist holding the knicker in place without any undue pressure which means that toilet breaks are a bit easier as there are no bib straps to deal with. The UMA GT C2 pad is perfect for longer rides and has 9mm of padding and a 3D Waffle construction with perforations for improved breathability. Assos’ goldenGate design only attaches the insert to the tight at the front and rear, allowing the central section to float and move with the body whilst pedalling.
Features
- Calf length
- hipClick: A waist construction that combines elastic and mesh layers with a high, unrestrictive rise to stabilise the body panels and lock the insert in place
- Shock-Absorb Damping Mono 9: Compressive foam layers in a 9mm endurance platform
- Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation
- goldenGate: The stitching pattern anchors the front and back but lets the insert’s body float, letting it move with the body rather than against it
- 3D Waffle: A patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight
- UV protection
- regularFit

About Assos
Swiss precision. Half a century of obsession.
Assos of Switzerland was founded in 1976 by Toni Maier-Moussa with a single ambition: reinvent cycling apparel from the inside out. The Lycra cycling short, modern bibs, the chamois as we know it — all began here. Half a century later, the obsession with precision and ride feel hasn't moved an inch.
Assos still designs and engineers every piece in Switzerland. The brand operates its own laboratory, its own development pool of test riders, and its own assembly line for the most demanding garments in the range.
