The fast gets faster with the evolution of the Equipe Jersey
Precise patterning and sharp finishing details deliver the next generation of Assos speed and race-ready comfort.
To improve on the venerable Equipe RS Jersey was no small task, something Assos approached
by addressing the smallest details - the ones that add up when every second counts.
The resulting Aero SS Jersey does just that, combining micro-adjusted patterning and
sharp finishing touches that have launched the next phase of Assos aerodynamics, one
Assos is calling aeroFit.
To begin, Assos applied their proven circular knit miniCheck Tex, which is a highly elastic 3D knit
fabric that’s been specifically developed with breathability and moisture transfer in mind.
At the rear, Assos have incorporated Stabilizer textile, which secures the jersey with its
limited vertical-stretch composition. The aggressive position speed-focused riders take
also informed their material choice for the new raw + bonded sleeves, yoke, and pockets,
which needed to be as buttery smooth and flexible as possible.
Fine-gauge warp knit Push Pull textile was just the ticket, providing high UV protection
(UPF 50+) along with its quick-drying, bi-stretch properties.
Beyond the more precise aeroFit patterning, additional purpose-driven details also
contribute to increased speed and comfort. It begins in the front with the ultralight bonded
camlock zipper, taped waist, and the combination of raw + bonded sleeves for both
comfort and hold. In the back Assos have employed the proven triple ramp pockets to lock in
your cargo, along with a lighter elastic on the hem for further weight savings.
Features of the Equipe RS Aero Jersey
- aeroFit: The trimmest, speed-focused cut that’s tighter and more compressive than Assos'
racingFit. May feel restrictive out of the riding position but feels like a second skin while
riding.
- miniCheck Tex: Open 3D knit fabric that has truly exceptional breathability. Quick drying
and superlight. UPF 25 despite weighing so little. Built-in odorControl for durability and
hygiene.
- Push Pull: The pockets and sleeves are made of the by Assos developed Push Pull warpknit
textile with high UV protection (UPF 50+). Highly breathable, this fine gauge knit
with bi-stretch is quick drying and very comfortable.
- Stabilizer: Featherweight but strong material, perfect for creating a cooling panel on
the back of the jersey. Maintains stability and alignment - and has UPF30 - despite its
minimal weight and volume.
- Triple Ramp Pockets: Assos storage design with three textile-lidded pockets optimally
located for ease of access; security and stability guaranteed. Earphones hole in right
pocket; micro-perforated bonded reflex for visibility.
- Bonded Zipper: Temperature regulation courtesy of an ultralight bonded full-length
zipper with camlock. Micro-injected neck tab stabilizes fabric to enable single-handed
zipper operation.
- Raw Cut + Bonded Sleeves: Smooth wrap front with bonded rear strikes the best
balance
between comfort and stability.
- Taped Waist: Bonded edges for added refinement to the fit and improved aerodynamics.
- Lightweight Rear Hem: A wide, secure elastic hem that ensures a frictionless fit while
riding. Lighter and more breathable than previous generation.
