Winter-proof textiles and the feminine trailFit fit make the winter softshell jacket the new benchmark for winter functional clothing in mountain sports.
The new TRAIL Winter Softshell is a further developed version of the Spring/Fall Hoodie, the all-time favourite of many female cyclists. Thanks to improved heat retention and optimized protective functions, this jacket will become a faithful companion on all winter mountain rides. The main component of the jacket is the proven NEOS Medium. This three-layer softshell material has a sealed PU membrane, making it a highly active, water-repellent, heat-retaining and 100% windproof textile under which you are safely protected from icy winter air, rain and even snow. Assos have combined this winterproof shell with tailored fabric panels from the new RX EVO+ on the upper arms, side panels, back and hood suitable for wearing under a helmet to help wick moisture and maintain breathability. This combination acts like armor, protecting you from weather elements while still allowing airflow, keeping you warm and dry regardless of riding conditions and fluctuating performance phases. After selecting the materials, Assos set about optimising the details. Guidance was provided by the previous spring/fall model of the jacket, particularly in terms of the wetsuit-style hood, which offers integrated neck protection when zipped all the way up. The hood itself can be worn perfectly under the helmet thanks to its specially designed design and even features a slot for the strap, exclusively available from ASSOS klikThru. Unrestricted visibility and maximum wearing comfort are thus a matter of course. The elbows are covered by Assos wear-resistant dyneRope fabric, and the cargoZip on the left side allows you to easily reach the contents of the back pockets underneath. On the right front of the jacket, Assos has also included a simple side pocket for smaller items. The trailFit cut jacket is close-fitting and designed for trail bikes, but is also ideal for off-trail use. The 2-way zipper allows you to wear the jacket like a cape on the strenuous way to the summit or bring in air from above in the traditional way.
