The Assos Ultraz Winter Gloves P1 are built for the harshest winter conditions, delivering maximum insulation and weather protection while maintaining the dexterity required for confident control on the bike. They form the top tier of Assos’s cold-weather hand protection system, engineered for sub-freezing temperatures, biting wind, and extended endurance rides where heat loss can quickly compromise performance. Despite their robust insulation package, the gloves maintain a streamlined shape that allows precise handling of braking and shifting without the bulky feel common in deep-winter gloves.
The Ultraz P1 construction uses a multi-layer softshell exterior paired with strategically reinforced windproof zones to create a reliable barrier against cold air penetration. Beneath that, a high-loft thermal lining traps warm air efficiently, forming a stable insulating layer that stays effective even during long stretches of steady effort. Moisture-wicking fibers pull sweat away from the skin to prevent internal dampness—a critical factor in extreme cold, where moisture rapidly accelerates heat loss. This layered approach results in a glove that maintains warmth on long descents, exposed ridgelines, and low-cadence winter base miles.
The palm is built around a durable synthetic microfiber that retains its suppleness in freezing temperatures. Targeted grip zones ensure traction on bars, hoods, and brake levers even when conditions are wet, while the material’s stability prevents bunching that could interfere with control. Padding is minimal and precisely placed, supporting sustained rides without muting bar feel. Finger articulation and panel shaping are optimized to reduce resistance when shifting and braking, making the gloves feel more responsive than their insulation level would suggest.... Read More
A long, protective cuff extends coverage past the wrist, creating a secure overlap with winter jackets to eliminate drafts and prevent cold air from entering the system. The cuff’s elasticity ensures a smooth, sealed interface without adding unnecessary bulk. Reinforced fingertips add durability and feature touchscreen compatibility—an essential detail when navigating devices during cold rides. Designed to withstand repeated use in severe conditions, the Ultraz Winter Gloves P1 retain their structure and insulation properties through wash cycles and full winter seasons.
For riders who refuse to retreat indoors when temperatures plunge, the Assos Ultraz Winter Gloves P1 deliver the highest-level cold-weather performance in the Assos line. They combine warmth, wind protection, breathability, and dexterity into a cohesive, highly capable winter system—ideal for deep-winter training blocks, long endurance miles, or any ride where the environment demands serious insulation.
