You can never tell with the weather - even when the forecast is good you can see a sudden cool wind pick up or you'll feel the chill as you descend off a high mountain peak. The MILLE GT Wind Vest C2 is made to be super packable, making sure you always have windproof protection to hand when cycling. Performance Perfected The team at Assos have improved the fit, with a more flexible wind-blocking front and elastic mesh rear panel offering a more snug fit that also rustles less when you're at speed. There's also an improved armhole elastic, reducing friction but maintaining a perfect fit. The updated mesh back also reduces weight, bringing the GT Wind Vest C2 in at an impressive 75 grams (size medium). Once the weather clears or you hit the warmth of the valley, it packs up easily into a jersey pocket. Featured Fabrics To the front of the gilet, Assos' Breaker fabric prevents cold winds from getting inside while a water-repellent finish shrugs off a light rain shower. To the back, tear-resistant and bi-stretch Ventamesh maintains excellent breathability and airflow, preventing you from overheating and getting too sweaty. Assos regularFit The MILLE GT Wind Vest C2 benefits from Assos' regularFit. It's streamlined enough to minimise wasted energy but has the space to allow easy movement and to fully enjoy carbo-loading at a mid-ride cafe stop.
Stripping the summer shell down to its bare essentials, the UMA GT Summer Wind Vest from Assos is perfect for when you need a little something extra but don’t want to overheat or be weighed down. Its form-fitted construction allows you to keep up those hard-won aero gains, while still being stretchy enough to allow for full freedom of movement through the Glossy fabric featuring in the side panels. Not only that, but it’s also extremely packable, which means you can pop it in the bottom of a bag or jersey pocket as a great just-in-case option should the wind pick up on a warm day. Never leave home without it.
To give a versatile and packable vest Assos have stripped back the garment to the essentials, using highly functional fabrics to deliver exceptional performance. The MILLE GT Wind Vest is made with Assos' Foil Ultra textile to the front. This lightweight fabric is windproof, water-repellent and breathable so you'll enjoy a nicely regulated micro-climate inside. Meanwhile, the side panels use 'Glossy' a warp-knit windproof textile which gives extra stretch to enhance the fit while still maintaining breathability. The combination strikes a balance of low pack weight and protection son you're happy to take the GT Vest on every ride without sacrificing too much space in pockets. In terms of the fit of the vest, this garment is less compressive than a racingFit, but more fitted than Assos' comfortFit. It bridges the gap between the two and provides the ideal balance between comfort, freedom of movement and performance.

It's Time to Shine on the Bike It's the microspheres of glass that give the Iridescent Reflective Cycling Gilet it's remarkable visibility after dark. Once caught in headlamps or under street lights these beads 'light up' so the jacket has a glow that catches the attention of other road users. It's a unique finish that has a distinctive 'oil slick' look during the day and brilliantly illuminated performance to keep you safe and seen on dark roads. Dazzling Windproof Protection Too It's not just about visibility though, the windproof fabric also ensures cold winds can't penetrate, leaving you nicely insulated against cold winds out on the road. Of course, when you're cycling you'll generate some sweat but thanks to breathable mesh zones you'll find yourself comfortable and dry as sweat has an easy escape route to the outside. The performance fit is close to the body but still allows easy movement and space for you to layer up underneath your jacket. Thanks to Ale's IIridescent Reflective Cycling Gilet you've got stunning style and performance during the day and gleaming reflectivity at night, keeping you safe and seen as you knock out hard training sessions during the darker days of autumn and winter.
The heart of the Women's Klimatik Elements Gilet is the Rainshell Antiacqua 2.5 fabric, a waterproof and highly breathable material perfectly suited to high-intensity activities, such as cycling. It's one thing to keep rain out but that's of no use if you get overwhelmed with sweat inside - this is the conundrum the Women's Klimatik Elements Gilet solves. It adds a layer of water and wind protection to your core but it won't hinder movement of sweat from base layers to the outside. The result is greater comfort as skin remains dry and won't cool from an excess of sweat. Bonded technology is used to construct the Gilet, this does away with traditional seam joining techniques, instead, a special tape is used, maintaining the stretch of the fabric while also boosting durability. Moreover, the smooth joins also guarantee no rubbing from the seams, enhancing your comfort.
