Assos Mille GT Winter S11 EVO Winter Jacket

The previous GT Winter jacket was virtually perfect - but when it comes to winter cycling, the risks are too high to settle for "virtually". This is why Assos has further refined the design for this S11 EVO generation. The jacket has been updated with a revised panel layout for greater comfort in an upright cycling position and less tightness around the chest and shoulders. New additions of RX thermal fabric in the side panels, under the arms and around the collar improve breathability, which is essential on endurance winter rides.

This Mille GT Winter S11 EVO jacket also uses the tried-and-tested AIRBLOCK-EVO.916 material, a breathable, storm-resistant softshell that protects the front of your body from wind, rain and icy winter air, and complements it with ultra-stretchy AIRBLOCK-EVO.888 fabric on the sleeves. The back panel, made from highly insulating RX EVO Plus fabric, is thermoregulating and water-repellent, protecting your back and the contents of your pockets from rain and road spray.

In cold, wet winter conditions, pair this jacket with the GT HASHOOGI Winter S11 bib tight and the other items in the winter accessories range, depending on just how cold and wet it is.

AIRBLOCK-EVO.916 and AIRBLOCK-EVO.888
The main fabric used in this winter jacket is AIRBLOCK-EVO.916, a breathable, storm-resistant softshell that protects the front of your body from wind, rain and icy winter air. The sleeves feature ultra-stretchy AIRBLOCK-EVO.888 fabric for greater freedom of movement without compromising on protection.

RX EVO Plus back panel
The back panel is made from highly insulating RX EVO Plus, which is thermoregulatory and water-repellent to ensure your back and the contents of your back pockets remain protected from precipitation and road spray.

Updated fit
The cut has been adjusted for greater comfort in an upright cycling position and a slightly looser fit around the chest and shoulders than in the previous generation.

What is the difference between the Mille GT Winter S11 EVO and the Mille GT Ultraz Winter EVO jackets?
While both are winter jackets from Assos, they are designed for different levels of cold. The current Winter S11 EVO model is designed for cold, wet winter conditions and offers a refined fit and improved breathability. The Mille GT Ultraz Winter EVO jacket is the ultra-insulated version, designed for extreme cold up to around 0 degrees.

Is this the same jacket as the Mille GT Winter EVO (without S11)?
No, this is a newer S11 generation with an updated fit and the addition of RX thermal fabric for improved breathability. The Mille GT Winter EVO is the previous generation within the same range of winter jackets.

How can I best layer this jacket in cold, wet winter weather?
Assos recommends pairing the Mille GT Winter S11 EVO jacket with the GT HASHOOGI Winter S11 bib tight and the other items in the winter accessories range, depending on how cold and wet the conditions are.

Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is storm-proof and water-repellent thanks to the AIRBLOCK-EVO softshell and water-repellent RX EVO Plus back panel. In the event of prolonged, heavy rainfall, complete waterproofing cannot be guaranteed.
