Mille GT S11 EVO Team EF Long-Sleeve Jersey - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The long-sleeve GT S11 EVO is the more technically interesting version of the two for riders who spend time on exposed routes. The Eclipse sleeve fabric is the key differentiator — it extends UPF 50+ protection to the wrists at a weight that makes arm warmers feel redundant on moderate temperature days. The AirCell body construction is identical to the short sleeve, so you're working with the same open hexagonal knit breathability and bi-stretch performance in the panels that matter most for thermoregulation. PILtec hem finishing and triple ramp pocket engineering are unchanged. Against comparable long-sleeve replica jerseys from other brands, the Eclipse sleeve fabric and AirCell body combination represent a higher construction standard than most offerings at this price point."

The Assos Mille GT S11 EVO Team EF Long-Sleeve Jersey extends the GT S11 EVO platform's engineering across the full arm with Eclipse, a fabric specifically developed to deliver UPF 50+ sun protection at a weight that removes the thermal argument against sleeve length. On long rides in direct sun, the long-sleeve configuration eliminates the management overhead of arm warmers while adding meaningful protection from the shoulders to the wrists without generating heat retention in the process.

The AirCell main body fabric is carried over from the short-sleeve version without modification. Its open hexagonal circular knit structure generates active airflow across the chest and back panels during sustained output, and bi-stretch construction provides horizontal elasticity for fit conformity while maintaining vertical support to stabilize the rear pocket system under load. The fabric weight is aggressive enough that Assos recommends applying sunscreen beneath the main body panels — a functional specification that communicates the UV transmission properties of the knit as clearly as any rating would. Eclipse sleeves constructed from 86/14 polyester-elastane complement the AirCell body with a lighter, more elastic hand that wraps the arm without compression and cools through breathability rather than ventilation.

The simplified pocket construction reduces seam count while retaining the triple ramp system's core mechanics. Flexible panel lids and highly elastic upper construction allow the pockets to expand under a full nutrition load and return without sagging or positional shift. The Stabilizer V11 mesh back panel supports the pocket system's structure across extended efforts, and the PILtec plug-in hem tape anchors the rear hem with microdot silicone treatment that holds through sweat and sustained effort without the rigidity of a full silicone band. Material composition is consistent with the short-sleeve version across all panels: 80/20 polyester-elastane in the main body, 86/14 in the sleeves, 76/24 polyamide-elastane in the pockets, and 94/6 polyamide-elastane in the pocket ramps.

The EF Pro Cycling 2026 graphics replicate the team's WE RIDE IN PEACE aesthetic in a long-sleeve configuration suited for high-UV training days, early season riding, and routes where sun exposure is the primary environmental variable. For riders evaluating long-sleeve replica jerseys across brands, the Eclipse sleeve fabric's UPF 50+ rating combined with the AirCell body's thermal efficiency represents a construction pairing that most competitors at this price point do not match.
