Assos

Uma GT Spring/Fall Airblock Vest - Women's

We live in a time of really, really nice cycling gear, and Assos seems to consistently be one of the front-runners when it comes to combining performance, fit, and style into a single piece on the tarmac, so it's no surprise that once again the brand is at the forefront with its latest winter women's wear. Pieces like the Uma GT Spring/Fall Airblock Vest drive the point home. It combines the regular UMA fit—form-fitting with room for layering—with in-house fabrics that excel in the variable conditions we meet during the shoulder seasons.

The vest begins with NEOS MILD fabric at the front, which is a three-layer softshell with a bonded polyurethane membrane to protect you from showers and gusts without compromising on flexible stretch that you need for freedom of movement on the bike. This is married to brushed RX fabric at the back panels, which provides extra breathability and stretch to prevent overheating on punchy climbs that ask for major efforts. The back also features a Pocket Slot system that enables you to reach through to your jersey or jacket pockets underneath, so you can access your goodies without unzipping.
