Assos Women's UMA GT Half Shorts S11 Short

Casual coffee shop rides, indoor training, or days too unbearably hot for bib straps – the GT Half Shorts S11 are engineered for specific circumstances when bib straps are an unnecessary hindrance. The S11 generation updates the rider-favorite design with a lighter, more durable body textile that has a deeper, true-black color. That’s augmented at the waist with a front panel of Sens AIR, which adds stability, support, and breathability without any restriction. The hipClick fit design encompasses the entire waist to lock the shorts in place for secure comfort. Despite the changes, the shorts maintain breathability, and the new insert doubles down on cooling airflow with the addition of an ultralight panel in the front.
Features:

• The new QUARTZ textile is a lightweight, breathable warp knit with permanent odorControl. The true-black color doesn’t turn white or become transparent while stretching during normal use, and 80% of its content is from pre-consumer recycled polyamide. A band of Sens AIR across the lower stomach eliminates pressure in aggressive riding positions.
• Streamlined regularFit and body-contoured shaping reduce seams, eliminating friction for total comfort and easy layering.
• PILtec Plug-In: A patented bracing design adapted from the Racing Series. Stabilizes the insert and locks it in place as your weight transfers while sprinting, climbing, and cornering.
• hipClick:: A waist construction that combines elastic and mesh layers with a high, unrestrictive rise to stabilize the body panels and lock the insert in place.
• zeroPressure Waist: A soft, highly elastic waist construction that improves comfort and hold at the waist, minus any pressure or pinching.
• Shock-Absorb Damping Mono 12: Compressive foam layers in a 12mm endurance platform. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation.
• 3D Waffle: A patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
• GoldenGate 2.0: A free-floating construction that moves with your body rather than against it. New cut-outs on the wings reduce friction throughout the pedal stroke.
