Assos – Mille GT Men’s Wind Jacket – Visibility Green

 

Windproof, lightweight shell jacket designed for maximum protection with minimum bulk

A windproof outer shell is essential gear for most cyclists. It’s become a staple part of their riding arsenal, so ASSOS has now patterned a pared-down windproof shell jacket as part of the MILLE GT collection to provide essential protection.

The has been brought firmly into the ASSOS stable at a very fair price, yet it features signature ASSOS performance. On the front of this jacket the manufacturer has fitted its proprietary Foil Ultra textile borrowed from other race-tuned, year-round pieces in the shells range.

The side panels incorporate the high stretch and breathability of ASSOS’ own Glossy textile, while the dual layer collar construction makes this area more elastic and so keeps you more comfortable while riding.

Those same cyclists who never leave without a windproof shell also value packability. They demand an ASSOS windproof jacket that can easily be stowed in their pocket while riding. This windproof riding jacket from the MILLE GT collection meets those demands. Cut in the company’s regularFit, this is a comfort-focused, easy-to-throw-on piece for essential protection, minimum volume and maximum performance.
