Assos MILLE GT Spring Fall Jacket - Ritterkapsel - blackSeries

A price-point mid-weight jacket

Designed to work in the unpredictable weather of spring and fall

What’s different?
At Assos they like to set the bar high, and what way better to push ourselves than create a jacket that’s deft at performing in the wide delta of conditions found in spring and fall? That is exactly what Assos have achieved with this jacket. As a stalwart in the MILLE GT collection, this jacket employs a specifically engineered fabric that is both windproof and water-resistant, while still being lightweight and breathable at a great price.
Taking design and engineering inspiration from the iconic falkenZahn gilet, the all-new hydrophilic membrane on the front panels of this jacket give increased wind and water resistance to protect you when the weather is bad. Knowing that spring and fall riding also sees the mercury rise, they have included opulent RX brushed fabric on the lower of the front of this jacket to elevate breathability and comfort–its brushed finish also doubles as supreme insulation when needed. Taking the breathability of the jacket to the next level they have used their lightweight summer jersey Stripe Tex fabric on the arms.
Lightweight, protective and breathable, this jacket is the zenith of engineering abilities. For you, it’s a jacket that will keep you warm on those chilly mornings without running the risk of overheating as the temperature and ride intensity increases. Sounds like a good call for any ride carried out away from the heat of summer.

When to use?
From chilly spring mornings to warm autumnal afternoons, this jacket is ideal for all your spring and fall rides. Race-tuned and form fitting, it is perfect for fast-paced early season chain gangs too. Pair it with a spring/fall baselayer, but if the forecast is predicting rain then add the MILLE GT wind vest, wind jacket or clima jacket to your pocket so you’re prepared for everything that the weather in these seasons can throw at you.
