By strategically applying three “weights” of NEOS softshell textiles to the Ultraz, Assos ensured you get the right amount
of protection where you need it, while simultaneously maintaining breathability and increasing weight-savings throughout. The position our bodies take on the bike—combined with the intended riding conditions—inform these material selections, knowing that deep-winter riding calls for absolute attention to detail in how your apparel fits and functions.
THE FINER DETAILS
FEATURED FABRICS
The front and upper-back panels feature our NEOS Light + RX Heavy double-layer twinDeck construction, using Assos' 3L windproof and breathable softshell and PU bonded membrane for added water-repellency. The sleeves also feature a twinDeck construction using NEOS Ultra + 652.RX for maximum protection. NEOS Medium, a 3L windproof and breathable softshell constructed with a PU bonded membrane, is used on the back panel.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT
The jacket’s classic yet trim regularFit offers a more relaxed cut while still accommodating additional layers. Its front and back panels are merged with raglan cut sleeves, with a stitch line that continues up to the neck for a full range of motion in the saddle. The 2W waistWave stitch construction on the waist preserves the natural stretch of the front panel’s textile, absent of elastic material.
WHEN/HOW TO USE IT
Pair with the ULTRAZ Winter Skin Layer, MILLE ULTRAZ Winter Bib Tights, and ULTRAZ ASSOSOIRES for winter’s worst conditions.
