...Assos is not only a superb brand in cycling wear.

The brand name is derived from Assos (Greek: Άσσος), also known as Behramkale or for short Behram, that is a small historically rich town in the Ayvacık district of the Çanakkale Province, Turkey.

 

Here is one of its products for women - the hk 434 used during rides in the European autumn:
