From the snow-capped mountains of Switzerland comes some of cycling's most elite and stunning threads, and it should be no surprise that brands like Assos excel when it comes to winter-ready cycling clothing to keep you on the tarmac long after the temps take a dive for the winter. With lines like Bonka that take over winter with a head-on attitude, we know we can trust the frost-worthy fabrics of Assos, but sometimes we prefer a fit that's a little more accommodating than the race-worthy Bonka, which is why Assos crafted the Mille GT Winter Tight. These tights blend together warmth, flexibility, protection, and support, with a little more room for comfort than the Bonka, so you can get in your training rides and casual winter spins without skin-tight compression. The Mille GT are designed to pull on fast to eliminate as many barriers between you and your base miles as possible. We love the indescribably perfect fit of Assos' top-end Bonka Tights, which virtually disappear once you pull them on, but achieving that disappearing act requires a lot of patience and a little bit of struggle to situate the bibs just so. The Mille Tights, in contrast, feature what Assos describes in typical, camel-case style as comfortFit. Near as we can tell, comfortFit means a slightly more forgiving cut, especially through the bibs and rear yoke, which makes for a much quicker application that you don't necessarily need to be 100% awake for. While this may seem like a minor luxury, it certainly appeals to us on frigid winter mornings when we're already fumbling at the coffee pot and the floor pump and one more impediment may spell a preemptive end to the ride. Of course, this is still Assos, so comfortFit doesn't mean club fit. The attention to detail that made Assos' name is evident in details like the articulation down the back of the leg, which strategically tapers and combines panels of material for a fit through the back of the knee that's every bit as bunch-free as the Bonka ...   read more
