Description
The Assos Equipe R Spring Fall Gilet S11 is a sleeveless cycling vest with midweight insulation for cool, dry rides between +12 and +20 degrees. It protects your chest and stomach while you train or race hard, while your back stays open to let heat out.
Exactly that combination makes it versatile: loose over a summer jersey at fresh temperatures, or as an extra layer over a thermal jersey and under a wind or rain jacket when it gets colder and wetter.
Assos Equipe R Spring Fall Gilet S11 at a glance
- Midweight RX on the chest and upper back: a soft, brushed insulating fabric that keeps your core warm without making you sweat.
- OSMOS Medium over the stomach: breathable warp knit that carries the insulation through and gives compressive support.
- Breathable back panel: Stabilizator V11 blocks vertical stretch so your pockets do not sag, and lets excess heat out.
- Breathability 4 out of 5: designed to prevent overheating during hard efforts.
- AEPD 11 racingFit: second-skin cut with compression all round, without flapping material at speed.
- zeroPressure waist: soft, highly elastic waistband that does not pinch or press into your sides.
- struzzoKragen collar: soft insulation that regulates your warmth without you having to open the zip.
- Three perforated stretch pockets: they hold the contents tightly and let air through at the same time.
Warm where it counts, open where it has to be
A gilet is only useful if it insulates in exactly the right places. That is why the chest and upper back are in midweight RX, a soft brushed insulating fabric with a durable warp knit construction. OSMOS Medium carries on over the stomach, extending the warmth with a breathable structure and giving compressive support. The Stabilizator V11 back panel stays light and lets heat out, so you do not overheat on a hard climb.
Versatile in the shoulder seasons
This vest is made for the weeks when the temperature changes twice within one ride. Loose over a summer jersey it gives just enough protection on a fresh start or a cool descent. When it gets colder and wetter, you can wear it as an extra warm layer over a thermal jersey or under a wind or rain jacket. That way you do not have to buy a new jacket for every change in temperature.
Race fit without pressure points
The AEPD 11 racingFit wraps your body in 360 degree compression and stability, developed with feedback from the WorldTour. The zeroPressure waistband of soft, highly elastic material supports without squeezing, even when you spend hours in the aero position. The struzzoKragen regulates your microclimate without you having to open the zip and expose your throat to the cold air.
Practical on the road
At the back are three perforated stretch pockets. The highly elastic material stretches around the contents and keeps them stable, while the perforations let extra air through. The back panel blocks the vertical stretch, so full pockets do not start to sag on a long ride.
Good to know
This is an insulating vest, not a wind vest: windproofing and waterproofing both score 1 out of 5. For cold headwind or rain you combine it with a wind jacket or shell. The race fit is tight; if you want to wear layers underneath, bear that in mind when choosing your size.
Material composition: 68% polyamide, 16% polyester, 16% elastane.
Frequently asked questions about the Assos Equipe R Spring Fall Gilet S11
Is this cycling vest windproof?
No, this is an insulating vest, not a wind vest. Windproofing scores 1 out of 5, because the emphasis is on breathable warmth in dry, cool conditions. For cold headwind or descents in the rain you combine it with a wind jacket or shell over it.
At what temperatures do I wear it?
Assos states +12 to +20 degrees, in dry, cool conditions. That is the classic spring and autumn weather in which a jacket is too warm and a jersey alone too cold. At lower temperatures you use it as a mid layer under a wind or rain jacket.
Can I wear it over a winter jacket or under a shell?
It is meant to be worn over a summer jersey in cool conditions, or as an extra warm layer over a thermal layer and under a wind or rain jacket when it gets colder and wetter. Because of the tight race fit it works better as a mid layer than as an outer layer over a thick jacket.
How does it fit?
Tight. The AEPD 11 racingFit is a second-skin cut with compression all round, designed for the position on the bike. So it is meant to sit close to the body. If you want to wear several layers underneath, consider a size up.
Do the pockets sag when I fill them?
No, the back panel is designed for that. Stabilizator V11 blocks the vertical stretch of the fabric, so your pockets do not sag when you put a gel, phone or wind jacket in them. The pockets themselves are perforated and highly elastic, which makes them hold the contents tightly.
