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.
