Taking the all-new SS. campionissimoJersey_evo7 out for a few dozen miles in the heat of summer tells us that, though Assos is often colloquially referred to as ""the shorts company,"" the Swiss brand knows a few things about jerseys, too. The SS. campionissimoJersey represents a new level of innovation in cycling tops, and not even Assos' SS. cento jersey pushed the boundaries this far. By combining an integrated skinFoil base layer, a proprietary new fabric, and an asymmetrical design ethos that only Assos could dream up, the SS. campionissimo does to jerseys what the T. campionissimo_S7 bibs did for cycling shorts: completely revolutionize the game, and force every other manufacturer to up their game in order to stay relevant.

This panel provides firm support across the shoulders and upper arms while the rest of the paneling allows for a more forgiving stretch. The result is a blend of structural compression across the shoulder and arm muscles -- which helps to reduce the gradual accumulation of fatigue from micro-oscillations caused by road noise travel... read more
