Assos Shell S7, Outer Gloves The Assos Gloves S7 were designed to be worn on their own for crisp winter days, alternatively they can be worn over the Assos Early Winter Gloves S7 when conditions get very cold. Like the Early Winter Gloves, the Shell Glove's shape is articulated to mirror the shape of your hand when it's grasping the handlebar. The shape places your index & middle fingers in one spot, & your ring & pinky fingers in another. The thumb is kept free to facilitate braking, shifting, & grip. The gloves were made using a strategic blend of polyamide, polyurethane, & spandex in order to block the wind, which keeps the arctic air from reaching your hands. An extended pull-on cuff stretches up well past your wrist, ensuring complete coverage when paired with Assos' jackets & skin Foil base layers.
