For a cold descent or an impending heavy shower the Assos Schlosshund Equipe RS Jacket provides the protection you need to keep riding. At no more than 170 grams it's also easily packed away when not needed.

Developed from the legendary rS.sturmprinz jacket this new Schlosshund Équipe RS Jacket has a race-bred fit and makes use of the newly devloped Schloss soft-shell fabric to create a waterproof race jacket with minimal weight and easy packability. The fabric is both waterproof and windproof and thanks to the use of fewer panels and thus less seams (all taped) water has less areas to ingress and greater warmth is kept in. 

Assos also borrow practical features from the heavier sturmPrinz jacket such as the silicon elastic waistband that holds the jacket firmly in place and the taped wrists and neck to minimize friction. You will also find two rear 'pocket slots' that serve to give easy access to jersey pockets, vital for grabbing a mid ride energy boost, while at the same time acting to enable excellent airflow, keeping you fresh on the inside of the jacket.

As befits a jacket designed for racing the Schlosshund Équipe RS gets Assos' racingFit. This means when riding at speed in harsh conditions you'll still have a garment that doesn't add significant drag, saving energy for the finish.  It may feel odd and restrictive when not on the bike but drop into your racing position and it all makes sense. 

When riding and racing in wet and windy conditions the ultralight and easily packable Schlosshund Équipe RS Jacket is easily grabbed from a jersey pocket. With its racingFit, minimal panels and seams and high-tech fabric this is the jacket to keep you riding no matter what the weather. 

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.
