When you talk about complex paneling and cutting lines in cycling apparel, it's almost always a conversation about bib shorts. But with the Assos ss.13 short sleeve jersey your upper body gets the treatment ordinarily reserved for your lower half. The heart and soul of the ss.13 is Assos' use of "Stretch-Stop Panel Framing" where key segments of the jersey are purposely made of inelastic material. Through its inelasticity, the jersey gets much-needed stability on your body. Throughout the middle of the back a breathable "3D Sensomesh" panel serves to support the back of the jersey and prevents it from stretching vertically. Think of this panel as a frame or a support. It's a vital component of the ss.13 to prevent the jersey as a whole from sagging. It's more comfortable, it looks like a million bucks, and it makes inserting/removing gear from your pockets a whole lot easier.

We've paired the ss.13 here with the Assos FI.Mille S5 bib short. The FI.Mille offers a bit less muscle compression, and a bit more all-around comfort in comparison to the Assos FI.13 S5 bib short. The short fabric has more lateral stretch to it, which gives it a better fit for larger bodies. And the chamois is built with a stabilizer to keep it from stretching (and causing saddle sores) on long rides.

By purchasing the Assos ss.13 jersey along with the FI.Mille S5 bib short here, you get a 5% savings in comparison to buying each piece alone. Just choose your size and color in the ss.13 and the FI.Mille S5 -- the savings is already built into our price.

Please keep in mind that the ss.13 is built with a slimmer fit than other Assos jerseys. Please choose one size larger than what you ordinarily wear in other Assos jerseys.
