“Assos.” />

At Lepape, you’ll find a selection of 65 items for men and women: cycling shorts, jerseys, jackets, base layers, and accessories. Looking for an outfit for long rides, high-performance cycling, or winter conditions? The range of options and styles will help you find what you need.

Which Assos cycling shorts should I choose?

Length: Short cycling shorts are best for mild and warm weather. Long or three-quarter-length cycling shorts provide more coverage for your legs when temperatures drop. Check out the men’s short cycling shorts and long and three-quarter-length cycling shorts

The pad: also known as a chamois, it is the padded area of the cycling shorts that comes into contact with the saddle. Its characteristics vary by model and product line.

The straps: They keep the cycling shorts in place without putting pressure on the waist. The choice depends on your preferences and the design of the model.

Fit: The Uma GT and Dyora lines are designed for female cyclists. The Equipe fit is form-fitting and may not suit all body types. If you prefer a less snug fit, consider the Mille GT.

How do I choose my Assos size?

Assos clothing is designed to conform to the cyclist’s position on the bike. The fit varies by model: performance-oriented garments are generally more form-fitting, while endurance models feature a looser fit. A slight tightness in the fabric or straps when standing may be normal; the garment will sit differently once you’re in the riding position.

To choose your size, measure your chest circumference for a jersey or jacket, and your hip circumference for cycling shorts. Then compare your measurements to the size chart for the specific line and type of garment. If you’re unsure between two sizes, don’t automatically choose the larger one: check the size guide for that specific model.

Check out the official Assos size guide to compare measurements and fits. You can also ask our sales associates for advice at the Lepape Store in Paris.
