BEHIND THE PRODUCT

By strategically applying three “weights” of NEOS softshell textiles to the Ultraz, we’ve ensured you get the right amount of protection where you need it, while simultaneously maintaining breathability and increasing weight-savings throughout. The position our bodies take on the bike—combined with the intended riding conditions—inform these material selections, knowing that deep-winter riding calls for absolute attention to detail in how your apparel fits and functions.

 

 

 

 

 

All the warmth and comfort you need to make late-year rides less of a trial

When you’re in the depths of that long time between autumn and mid-winter, the MILLE GT Winter Jacket is engineered to be your outer layer of choice.

Its breathable, medium-weight insulating layer that shields you from icy winds and everything from light rain, through sleet to hail gives you just the right degree of protection and freedom of movement.

The front panel is constructed using a softshell lining with a PU bonded membrane. Highly breathable, waterproof, 100% windproof and with powerful insulating properties, this flexible house-developed textile ensures your core stays fully protected from icy winter air, road spray, and rain. The tops of the arms and upper back are treated with NEOS Light, which has pared back the levels of insulation to focus instead on extra breathability and lower weight.

And to keep you from overheating as your effort levels rise, the underarms and back use ASSOS’ brushed bi-stretch RX material. The result of these strategically placed textiles is a jacket that’s been custom-made for cold winter conditions, yet will still let you adopt your natural body position on the road bike.

There’s a Triple Ramp Pocket system at the back which keeps your race cargo safe and dry, and your visibility is enhanced by the winter (3/3) climaCode graphic on the upper panel, and reflective strips on both sides of the center pocket.

As with all apparel in the MILLE line, the Winter Jacket is cut in ASSOS’ smooth, layering-friendly regularFit.

This is the variant of this jacket in ASSOS’ staple Black Series, but we also offer it in popular Lolly Red and the stand-out Visibility Green. So you can co-ordinate with the rest of your winter cycling wear and choose how much you stand out to other road users.
