ASSOS dealer in Orange County

ASSOS is a Swiss cycling clothing company known for its bib shorts and chamois. Its range can look confusing at first, but it follows a clear system. Veloaded Cyclery is a proud authorized ASSOS dealer in Orange County.

How the ASSOS range works

• Equipe (men) and Dyora (women). Racing-fit lines: close, compressive and built for fast, high-output riding. RS is the higher tier; R is the more accessible version.
• Mille (men) and UMA (women). Regular-fit endurance lines, with a softer, roomier cut for everyday and long-distance riding.
• GT, GTS and GTO. Endurance tiers: GT is the core level, GTS adds summer and aero-focused features, and GTO is the premium endurance option.

Dressing for Orange County

Most of the year, Orange County riding means warm days and cool mornings. A summer jersey and bib shorts cover most rides; a light vest or arm warmers handle coastal fog and early starts, then go in a pocket. Winter mornings inland and in the canyons can be genuinely cold, so a thermal layer and knee warmers earn their place. Sun protection matters year-round.

Racing fit or regular fit?

If you race or ride fast and like a compressive feel, start with Equipe or Dyora. If you ride long days and value comfort, start with Mille or UMA. Bib shorts are the most important piece of kit you'll buy, so try sizes on if you can. Ask what's available to try at the shop.
