UMA GT Clima Evo Jacket - Women's

The only thing we really want while riding against brisk breezes is absolute windproofing and not much else, and the minimalist-minded Uma GT Clima Jacket Evo delivers exactly that. Unlike most ultralight windbreakers, the Uma GT Clima actually offers total windproof protection as well as water-resistance in case that breeze brings a bit of rain, too. Assos laminated the windproof membrane to a thin, stretchy mesh to ensure breathability and freedom of movement.

Cut in its body-mapped, women’s Regularfit, it offers plenty of room and is easy to put over existing base layers and jerseys but still gives a nod to aerodynamics while packing the ideal blend of protection without bulk. If you need to adjust the amount of airflow, a full-length Camlock zipper up front lets you easily adjust it to the conditions. One last little detail that you never really appreciate until you experience it is the beauty of its low-bulk design that easily fits in most pockets.
