Assos Size Guide

Assos is towards the 'race' end of cycling clothing - it is created with hard riding in mind and is therefore primarily designed with a snug, aerodynamic fit.

When you get the fit right, it is fabulous. Assos themselves describe it as having 'a very slimming, anatomical cut' and diplomatically suggest that 'if your build is less than slim or if you like your fit looser, go up in size'!

If you are still unsure, feel free to contact us.

            Caps

            Much of Assos' headwear is one size fits all. However, if there is a choice of sizes on the product you're interested in, this is how to gauge it:

              VeloVixen Size     Assos Size     Head Size  
              Small 0 48-53cm / 18.8-20.8"
              Medium I 53-58cm / 20.9-22.8"
              Large II 58-63cm / 22.9-24.8"

              Measure around the circumference of your head where your cap would sit.
