Assos is FF-1
The collaboration with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport Team is a way for Assos to tap into some of the best engineering minds in the world, creating a licensed product collection and ultimately working towards a new era of comfort on the bike.
Windproof Fast Forward One shell vest
The GT Wind Vest is a year-round riding staple - it disappears in a back pocket, yet jumps into action when the weather turns.
A lightweight, packable vest is invaluable for long rides in variable conditions. Assos always throw one in a back pocket, just in case, as they take up no space, weigh practically nothing, and help fend off the chill of a ripping descent and biting wind.
The GT Wind vest is constructed with windproof Foil Ultra fabric for the front and back panels, seeing as its mini-ripstop composition is tough and creates an ultrathin barrier between you and the elements. The side panels are constructed with Sens Tex to give you a little added stretch and freedom of movement in the saddle. A tall, dual-layer collar seals out the drafts up top, a full-length camlock zipper promotes quick on-the-bike adjustments, and the regularFit strikes a fine balance between being layer-friendly and streamlined.
Features of the FF1 GT wind vest
Foil Ultra: This windproof, water-repellent fabric is Assos' secret weapon for regulating body temperature on fast descents and in changing conditions. It's a ripstop, lightweight 100% polyamide woven.
Sens Tex: This bi-stretch, comfortable material is applied to the side panels to provide stretch and breathability.
Dual-Layer Collar Construction: Ensures added protection, comfort, and freedom of movement at this vulnerable area.
Full-Length Zipper: Temperature regulation courtesy of an ultralight full-length zipper with camlock.
DWR: Treated with Durable Water Repellent treatment to add one more level of insurance against the elements.
regularFit: Optimized for total comfort in the riding position, with a more relaxed cut than the second-skin racingFit.
