Made for the demands of mild but windy weather, the Guardian Air Jacket is ideal for when you want to ride light without interrupting your flow. Thanks to its light and stretchy fabric, the Guardian lets you move with ease, keeping you nimble over technical terrain. Meanwhile, highly durable Cordura® backed up by reinforced Ripstop zones offers trail-ready durability, fending off, cuts, scrapes and general wear and tear. While you're pushing your MTB limits you'll soon be generating some heat and sweat. But thanks to the quick-wicking performance and excellent breathability you're not going to end a riding session wet through. The jacket also boasts underarm venting, improving airflow where it's needed. For days that see low clouds and light rain hanging in the air, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish provides protection. And there's also a hood to slip under your MTB helmet when you need some extra coverage. Lycra wrist cuffs provide a snug and secure fit, sealing out the elements too.
Training in wet and windy weather is as much about keeping sweat-free as it is about keeping the elements out. In both respects, the Chrono Pro Neoshell® Jacket really excels and this is thanks to the remarkable Polartec® Neoshell® fabric. Both windproof and waterproof, this fabric won't let you down when the rain begins to fall but thanks to the air-permeable membrane it lets your skin breathe, leaving you dry and comfortable even during the hardest of cycling efforts. With waterproof zippers and a fully seam-sealed construction water is unable to seep inside either. Tailored with a close to the body fit, the Chrono Pro is also efficient through the air, ensuring no energy is wasted on your long autumn and winter rides. As shorter days and darker mornings and evenings arrive you'll also benefit from the genuine 3M Reflective highlights, enhancing visibility as darkness falls while a chest pocket provides convenient storage.
Cold weather needn't resign you to an indoor training session, with the warmth of the women's Chrono Pro Alpha® Cycling Jacket you can enjoy cold, crisp days on the bike. The warmth is all down to the combination of Polartec® Windbloc® fabric and Polartec® Alpha® Direct Active insulation. Windbloc prevents cold winds penetrating the jacket and robbing body heat while the Alpha® Direct Active insulation is remarkably light but incredibly good at retaining warmth, trapping a layer of air to protect you from the icy tentacles of cold weather. A Durable Water Repellant (DWR) coating provides extra protection on dull and damp days too. Cold days tend to be more demanding on energy levels and so the female-specific form-fitting silhouette prevents excess fabric catching the wind and so saving those energy-stores for the last few miles to home. Speaking of energy, the Expandable Storage Pockets provide ample space for gels and bars to keep you fuelled and for long days that finish in the dark the 3M Reflective highlights add visual pop to enhance visibility when the daylight fades.
While the Foil Ultra main fabric gives you excellent emergency protection from wind and rain showers, the side panels are constructed using 'Glossy', a warp knit fabric that adds stretch and breathability to the jacket. Meanwhile, the double layer of fabric at the neck is highly elastic and comfortable, sealing out the elements from the upper chest. Assos have also been careful to design this garment to be as quiet as possible with a rustle-free fabric. Thanks to the regularFit of the Blitzjacket Mille GT you get a garment that is less compressive than a racingFit, but more fitted than the comfortFit. It nicely bridges the gap between the two fits and provides the ideal balance between comfort and performance. Assos have stripped back the construction of this jacket so you get pure performance with no fuss. The windproof and water repellent finish, plus a comfortable fit make it ideal for commuting or racking up the miles in training. Pop it on before a chilly descent, riding out on a chilly morning or to battle a spring shower.
When it comes to cycling during the transitional seasons of the year you need equipment which can offer both versatile weather protection and comfort whether riding fast or slow. The MILLE GT jacket spring fall is engineered to cope with a wide variety of conditions by using technical fabrics to combat any eventuality. Firstly comes Neos Mild fabric, a patented 3 layer windproof and highly breathable 4-ways stretch softshell fabric, it uses a PU bonded membrane to give a high degree of water-repellency. Next, extra breathability is taken care of by Assos' proven circular-knit Triangle textile, deployed on the back panel, ensuring you don't feel cold and clammy on the inside. Then the arms are made with RX fabric, the lightly brushed inner face provides both comfort and insulation. Taken together these fabrics provide a jacket which can be used for faster, more intense rides in cold winter weather or steady rides in cooler spring conditions, keeping you at an optimal temperature and perfectly protected. The Assos regularFit fits beautifully when you drop into a riding position and it gives space for easy layering and complete mobility. Raglan sleeves eliminate shoulder seams and allow a greater degree of motion while a triangulated abdominal pattern ensures the smoothest of fits around the waist.

The Women's Habu LaaLaLai Jacket utilises Assos' in-house Stratagon material on the front for added protection from the elements, repelling wind and providing warmth, ideally suited for cold early winter rides. Key refinements on this version include the addition of a new cuff design, with revised taping and welding to reduce the hems and increase comfort. More specifically, this design features tighter cuffs to increase the warmth in your hands but these are easily rolled back on the fly. Designed as a second layer garment the jacket acts as a perfect insulator under an outer shell, and the temperature range can be fine-tuned with the use of differing weight base layers. You can perfectly tune your early Winter outfit to perfectly match your physiology, the intensity of your ride and your local weather conditions. This is the ultimate, high performance insulating jacket offering adaptable cold weather performance and a refined on the bike fit for female cyclists. It's the ideal garment to build a comprehensive winter riding wardrobe around.
Even in the height of summer, any road cyclist will tell you that leaving home without something windproof is a mistake. Thankfully, Assos know this and have created the female-specific UMA GT Wind Jacket to keep you defended without letting you overheat via a surprisingly low volume. On the front, the Foil Ultra fabric is light and racey enough to compete with the best of them, while the Glossy textile on the side panels adds plenty of stretch, offering complete freedom of movement despite sitting close to the body. It’s also wonderfully breathable, as you’d expect, to keep you cool and wick sweat away from the bod quickly and effectively. Of course, you don’t always want to be wearing the jacket on calmer warm days, and so it’s good news that the immense packability of the UMA GT Wind Jacket allows you to slip it into a pocket or bag until you need it. There really is no reason not to leave home with it just in case, perfect for the whole year round.
The Assos Women's UMA GT Spring/Fall Jacket is brilliant for cool and breezy days on the bike and, should the conditions turn to damp and drizzly, it's water-resistant too. A 3-layer softshell, with a NOES MILD membrane, provides complete protection from cold winds, rain showers, road-spray and plunging temperatures – all without sacrificing breathability. On the tops of the arm, a brushed bi-stretch RX material adds insulation, while the under arms and back-panel boost breathability with Type.157 – a breathable, circular-knit fabric. Designed with regularFit, the Assos Women's UMA GT Spring/Fall Jacket is built for optimal riding comfort, allowing room for additional layers, should you need them. The Triple Ramp rear pockets provide plenty of space for gels and bars on longer rides and, reflective accents ensure you're more visible when the light fades.

In the cooler air of spring and autumn, the front of the Assos TRAIL Spring/Fall Men's Jacket protects your body and shoulders with an all-new, ultra-soft material called RX TECH Melange.

Come spring and autumn, temperatures may not be as extreme as the depths of winter, but a short sleeve jersey, arm warmers, and gilet may not cut it when it comes to comfort and warmth. The Equipe RS Spring Fall Jacket is there to fill the gap in those hard to dress for transitional months. Made from Push-Pull exterior and more insulating Rhombus on the inside, the twinDeck construction offers an incredible combination of insulation and breathability. This is then complemented by Assos' unique and exclusive Diffusor 'air-valve' system on the shoulders - these vents draw in cooling air to circulate between the two layers, preventing overheating and regulating body temperature. When you're on the limit, there's now no need to unzip to cool the body and you can remain low and aero - perfect for racing. The Equipe RS Spring/Fall collection is designed to allow riders to train harder (higher HR and watts) at lower temperatures while maintaining that perfect micro-climate - not too clammy, not too cold, not too hot. Assos aeroFit As you'd expect of a cycling jacket with race-ready credentials, the Assos aeroFit delivers a very close to the body, compressive fit to ensure reduced excess drag and no wasted energy when you're in the pace-line. The sleeves are made with Assos' SONIC fabric, a lightly brushed insulating fabric that perfectly moulds to the arms and features ribbed detailing to improve aerodynamics. Raw cut edges ensure a low profile fit with gloves and maintains the aerodynamics of the body. Whether it's testing fitness in fast and furious early season races or slow and steady autumn training, whatever your ride you'll remain perfectly comfortable when you pull on the Equipe RS Spring Fall Jacket during the transitional seasons of the year.
With the rs.sturmPrinz EVO Windproof jacket the objective was to create the ideal rain and wind-protective jacket for high-performance cycling, no holds barred and no corners cut by the accountants. However, Assos' aim was not to make a 100% waterproof jacket. Why not? Because 100% waterproof also means 100% impermeable - sweat builds up and can't escape. Not what you want. The evaporation process must be proactive, it mustn't be slowed excessively by your protective shell - which ultimately leads to cold and chills. To this end the rs.sturmPrinz EVO protects but also breathes incredibly well-maintaining body temperature and comfort. Assos have calibrated and optimised the balance between insulation and protection, without jeopardising your performance, giving you a functional, intelligently engineered, cycling-specific anti-rain device that works! This has been achieved through the use of exclusive TRITON fabric, specifically engineered by Assos for the rs.sturmPrinz jacket. The sturmPrinz use two versions of TRITON. The front panel features TRITON V1, a robust fabric engineered to be more resistant, and the back panel uses the lighter, more breathable TRITON V2. Ergonomically shaped to fit your body in the cycling position the jacket sits close and then follows your movements. Thanks to the high-performance TRITON fabric, ASSOS have been able to tailor the jacket closer to the body, resulting in less volume and no “balloon effect,” providing total freedom of movement. This is a jacket ideally suited for hard riding and racing on-the-rivet when the rain is incessant.
