Assos' entry level windproof jacket the Blitzjacket Mille GT is highly packable, lightweight, but at the same time, using Foil Ultra fabric, you get windproof, water-repellent protection. Ideal to take with you on every ride when the weather is fickle

While the Foil Ultra main fabric gives you excellent emergency protection from wind and rain showers, the side panels are constructed using 'Glossy', a warp knit fabric that adds stretch and breathability to the jacket. Meanwhile, the double layer of fabric at the neck is highly elastic and comfortable, sealing out the elements from the upper chest. Assos have also been careful to design this garment to be as quiet as possible with a rustle-free fabric.

Thanks to the regularFit of the Blitzjacket Mille GT you get a garment that is less compressive than a racingFit, but more fitted than the comfortFit. It nicely bridges the gap between the two fits and provides the ideal balance between comfort and performance.

Assos have stripped back the construction of this jacket so you get pure performance with no fuss. The windproof and water repellent finish, plus a comfortable fit make it ideal for commuting or racking up the miles in training. Pop it on before a chilly descent, riding out on a chilly morning or to battle a spring shower.

About the Assos brand

Assos are one of the world's pioneers and specialists in producing high quality cycling clothes and accessories. They are located in a region of Switzerland that has maintained a long standing tradition in first class textile engineering. In the 1970's, Toni Maier-Moussa, founder and chairman of Assos accidently invented lycra cycling clothing, whilst trying to create the ultimate bicycle. During the wind tunnel tests of the first ever carbon-fibre bike, Toni inadvertently found that lycra downhill ski racing suits had much less drag than the woolen-knitted cycling clothes of the time. To this day Assos firmly believe in total product competence, delivering optimum function and comfort, by researching and making its cycling clothing and accessories from the very best materials.
