Assos Uma GT Wind Vest S11 Info

The Assos Uma GT Wind Vest S11 is built for the rides where the wind is the problem and the temperature could go either way — the vest covers the range from 53°F on a cool morning to warmer conditions where you just need to cut the headwind. It's part of the women's Endurance series, and the S11 generation brings a meaningful upgrade over its predecessor: the back panel now matches the front.

Both the front and back are covered in Buster, a close-knit woven textile rated 5/5 for windproofing with an Eco DWR finish that sheds light rain and road spray. Previous versions used a mesh back that left the rider exposed to wind from behind — the S11 closes that gap entirely. Side panels of Sens Air (75% polyamide / 25% elastane) add stretch and breathability in the less-exposed areas where you need to move freely, keeping the vest from feeling like a shell. The result is a vest that blocks wind in a complete wrap around the torso without sacrificing the mobility a rider needs in the saddle.

The double slide zipper runs two sliders independently — crack it from the bottom to vent during hard climbs, open just enough from the top to reach a jersey pocket underneath, or adjust both for precise temperature management. The main Buster fabric is 100% polyamide, and Assos has updated it to pack down smaller than the previous generation, making it realistic to carry in a jersey back pocket as backup when you're not sure the weather will hold. Regular fit layers cleanly over a base layer or jersey without bunching.

Design Benefits

  1. Full front-and-back Buster coverage — the S11's key upgrade over the previous generation: windproof protection extends across the entire back panel, not just the front.
  2. Sens Air side panels — elastic and breathable where you need to move, keeping the vest comfortable across a wide effort range without overheating.
  3. Double slide zipper — two-slider construction lets you vent from the bottom, access jersey pockets, or dial in coverage without fully unzipping.
  4. Improved packability — updated Buster textile packs to a smaller volume than the previous generation, making it a practical jersey-pocket carry.

Final Take

The Uma GT Wind Vest S11 is a well-considered piece of kit for riders who face variable conditions regularly — not just a cool-morning layer, but a vest that earns its place across a genuinely wide temperature range. The full Buster back is the upgrade that matters most, and the packability means it goes with you on rides where it might not be needed, just in case.

The RA Perspective

The Uma GT Wind Vest has always been a popular recommendation for riders who want the wind-blocking benefits of a jacket without the commitment of sleeves. The S11 update addresses the one thing that held back the previous version: the mesh back. We'd occasionally hear from customers that the vest did its job on the front but left them exposed to wind chill on longer descents or sustained headwinds from behind. Buster on the back panel solves that.

In practice, the vest works well across a wider range of conditions than the temperature numbers might suggest. The Sens Air side panels breathe enough that you can wear this through a hard climb without pulling it off — which means it actually stays on for the whole ride rather than ending up in a pocket after the first fifteen minutes.

The double slide zipper is the same design as the Mille GT Wind Jacket — two sliders that let you vent from the bottom, access jersey pockets, or manage coverage precisely. It's the kind of feature that sounds small until you're 30 miles in and trying to grab a gel without fully opening your vest.

At $140, it sits at a reasonable price point for Assos kit that solves a real problem. If you're regularly riding in conditions where you need wind protection but don't want full sleeves — spring mornings, coastal rides, anything with variable weather — this vest earns consistent use. The four colorways coordinate well with the rest of the Uma GT line.
