Assos Mille GT Wind Vest

Assos Mille GT Wind Vest Info

A good vest is a four-season garment. Assos designed their Mille GT Wind Vest to work year ‘round, because weather conditions don’t only change daily, not only hourly, but every minute. You want to be warm without being hot—the moment you start noticing sweat developing, you remove it, the moment you start to feel cool, put it on.

GT is short for Gran Tourismo. It’s Assos-speak for everyday riding and the everyday rider. It works for every rider every day, with a fit that is close without being tight, a marked benefit for a garment designed to go over everything else. And, thanks to it being Assos, it is also designed to easily fit in one of your jersey pockets. They know that a good wind vest needs to fit in a pocket without overstuffing. After all, it needs to share that space with food, tools, wallet, possibly a pump.

The vest is similar to the Mille GT Wind Jacket. The front, back, and exterior collar are built out of FoilUltra, a fabric Assos has been using in jackets for some time. It’s light, thin, windproof, and packs small. The side panels are Assos’ Glossy stretch textile, which is light, thin, and breathable. The collar is lined with two-way stretch fabric for both comfort and to retain shape.

Everyone needs a good wind vest to expand their wardrobe. It extends the temperature range of everything you have. The Assos Mille GT Wind Vest is something you’ll want in your pocket for much of your daily riding.
