Assos Jackets Information

The year 2001 has passed. Instead of zooming through the air in flying cars, we get our kicks cruising around on pedal-driven vehicles. Maybe life in the future isn’t quite what we expected it to be, but we cyclists vie for the 21st century with flashy componentry and techy bike clothing. Assos is always on the cutting edge of cycling apparel science, and this is evident in their finely crafted cycling jackets.

Assos winter cycling jackets have a perfectly sculpted look. Fabric panels are sewn together strategically to provide wind protection and stretch exactly where you need it, and to highlight the athletic physique with shiny materials, vibrant colors, and a calculated use of black. An amazing amount of thermal insulation is achieved with absolutely minimal weight and bulk. The low-volume fabrics trap heat, but also wick sweat from your skin to keep you dry, which helps to regulate body temperature. Men’s Assos jackets have external back pockets and pockets with zippered closures. On Assos women’s jackets, the rear pockets are angled for easy access while riding. Most cyclists count on an überlight shell to get them through surprise showers and chilly descents. Assos rain jackets and windproof shells are engineered to be among the lightest and most breathable in the sport. The fabrics are softer and quieter, so they will not rustle like plastic bags in the breeze.

The prototype for each Assos bike jacket is developed in what the manufacturer calls its textile laboratory. Assos takes innovation seriously, which means that they are dedicated to making pieces that enhance performance. To reach your peak you need to be comfortable, which is why Assos jackets are precisely cut to fit your body in the cycling position. When you first try your jacket on in the mirror, it might look too short in front, too long in back, and bunchy in the seams. As soon as you tuck down into an aggressive position, the material will smooth out, the sleeves will cover your wrists, and the bottom hem will sit exactly where you want it. The close fit provides freedom of movement and ensures that the fabrics work with your skin to keep you warm, dry, or out of the wind.

Thoughtful attention to the details of fit are integral to Assos design. Combine this with most advanced fabrics and chic style, and you have a jacket that will protect you through ages!
