Assos Mille GT Wind S11 Gilet: Essential All-Season ProtectionElevate your ride with the Assos Mille GT Wind S11 Gilet, the definitive choice for cyclists who demand versatile, high-performance protection against the elements. Engineered for every season, this indispensable windproof vest is more than just a barrier against the chill, it´s a sophisticated piece of cycling equipment designed to enhance comfort, performance, and convenience on every ride. Whether you´re facing a brisk morning start, a blustery descent, or unpredictable weather, the Mille GT Wind S11 Gilet is the reliable companion that ensures you can focus on the road ahead.The newest generation of GT Wind Vest does so much more than just block a cool breeze.Its main textile, the new Buster, is now deployed on the front and the back, replacing the mesh back of the previous version with full protection against wind and rain.Buster also packs down to a lower volume than the previous textile, so the vest itself is easier to stow in a jersey pocket when conditions improve.The addition of a double-slider zipper also increases utility, letting you vent from top or bottom and easily access jersey pockets underneath.Crafted with Assos´s signature `regularFit`, the Mille GT Wind S11 Gilet offers a streamlined yet less aggressive silhouette than a pure racing cut. This provides the perfect balance of aerodynamic efficiency and long-distance comfort, making it ideal for everything from intense training sessions to leisurely weekend explorations. The fit is optimized to layer perfectly over a summer jersey without feeling restrictive, allowing for a full range of motion.A key evolution in the S11 generation is the comprehensive 360-degree protection. By utilizing the advanced main textile across both the front and rear panels, this gilet provides a complete shield against wind and light precipitation, preventing core temperature from dropping during fast descents or when the weather turns. Despite this enhanced protection, the gilet maintains exceptional breathability thanks to strategically placed side panels that allow excess heat and moisture to escape, preventing overheating during hard efforts.Practicality is at the heart of its design. The ultra-lightweight and highly packable construction means it can be compressed into a tiny bundle, disappearing into a rear jersey pocket with ease. This always-on-you capability makes it a non-negotiable piece of kit for rides where conditions are variable. Furthermore, the innovative double-slider zipper is a game-changer, offering unmatched versatility. Unzip from the bottom for easy access to your jersey pockets without fully opening the vest, or unzip from the top for a quick blast of cooling air on a long climb. A high collar provides additional protection for your neck, and reflective details enhance your visibility in low-light conditions, adding a crucial layer of safety.Key Features:* Full 360° windproof and water-repellent protection for the torso.* Exceptionally lightweight and highly packable for easy storage in a jersey pocket.* Optimized `regularFit` for a comfortable, streamlined experience on long rides.* Breathable side panels ensure excellent thermal regulation and prevent overheating.* Innovative double-slider zipper allows for customized ventilation and easy pocket access.* High protective collar to shield the neck from wind chill.* Reflective elements to increase visibility and safety in dim lighting.Attributes:* Men* WindproofComposition:-Main Fabric 100%PA.Sides, Back Neck 75%PA 25%EA
