Assos Assosoires Spring Fall LS Skin Layer base layer

Spring/Fall LS Skin Layer - a base layer for colder conditions encountered in late fall and early spring, with full-arm coverage, seamless comfort, and a new medium-weight yarn blend

Light insulation and full-arm coverage are just the ticket during those cold fall and spring conditions, where it’s crucial our upper body gets an added boost against the elements. This is where the Spring/Fall LS Skin Layer jumps in, fine-tuned to give you that extra body-insulating comfort when the temperature drops.

For those familiar with the iconic Skinfoil base layers, Skin Layer has taken the torch with a completely revamped design and all-new blend of fibers. To start, it’s about 8% lighter than before and uses a Circular Seamless construction, free of irritating side seams. This creates a smooth tubular knit that’s ultrasoft against the skin. A cool-weather-tuned blend of carbon and polypropylene yarns are now used, which effectively pulls moisture away from your skin and insulates your core. Assos also bumped up the neck height by 3cm from the short-sleeve version—just one of many small details Assos'd like to call out that shows the level of detail they take to tune the base layers to specific conditions.

Features

• Knit with a circular seamless construction for the smoothest, frictionless feel next to your skin.

• Fits, sleeve lengths, and knit structures that match your body and the conditions of your ride.
• Composition: 71% polypropylene, 22% polyamide, 4% elastane, 3% carbon fiber.
