Full details

The Assos Mille GT S11 Evo Jersey is designed for cyclists seeking a lightweight, breathable, and comfortable option for daily rides and warm weather cycling. Its key benefit is superior cooling and moisture management, keeping you dry and comfortable on long efforts. A minor caveat is its extreme lightness, which may necessitate sunscreen application under the body panels for sun protection. This jersey features ultralight AirCell fabric for cooling, a new Eclipse fabric on the sleeves for softness and UPF 50+ protection, and an optimized pocket system for secure storage.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the AirCell fabric?

The AirCell fabric is an ultralight circular knit with an open hexagon pattern specifically designed for extreme cooling and breathability, making it ideal for warm weather cycling.

Do the sleeves offer sun protection?

Yes, the sleeves feature the new Eclipse textile, which is a lightweight warp knit providing UPF 50+ protection against harmful UV rays.

How should I care for my Assos Mille GT S11 Evo Jersey?

Machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water (30°C/86°F) and mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron.

What does 'regularFit' mean for this jersey?

The regularFit is a streamlined, body-contoured fit designed for comfort and ease of layering. It aims to reduce seams and eliminate friction points without being overly tight like a race fit.

Why does Assos recommend sunscreen under the body panels?

Assos recommends sunscreen because the jersey's main body panels are extremely lightweight and highly breathable, which can allow more UV radiation to pass through compared to denser fabrics. Applying sunscreen provides an extra layer of protection for your skin.

How does the pocket system work?

The jersey features triple ramp pockets with flexible fabric panels that act as 'lids'. This design, combined with the Ultralight Stabilizer V11 back panel, helps to secure and stabilize pocket contents, preventing sag even when loaded.

Is this jersey suitable for cool weather?

The Assos Mille GT S11 Evo Jersey is primarily designed for warm to hot weather conditions due to its focus on extreme cooling and breathability. It offers minimal insulation and may be too cool for rides in mild or cooler temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Jersey feels too loose or baggy

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The regularFit is designed for comfort, but if excessive looseness is experienced, consider sizing down if the fit is uncomfortable or overly voluminous.

Pockets feel unstable or items fall out

Ensure items are placed correctly within the triple ramp pockets. The "lids" are designed to secure contents; ensure they are properly closed over the items. Check that the Ultralight Stabilizer V11 back panel is not damaged.

Fabric feels abrasive or causes irritation

Ensure the jersey is washed according to care instructions to soften the fabric. If irritation persists, consider wearing a thin, moisture-wicking base layer underneath. Check for any loose threads or rough seams.

UPF protection seems insufficient on sleeves

The UPF 50+ protection on the sleeves is effective, but it's recommended to apply sunscreen to exposed skin areas, especially under the body panels as noted by Assos, for complete sun protection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional breathability and cooling for warm conditions.
  • Lightweight construction enhances comfort and aerodynamics.
  • Secure and stable pocket system prevents items from bouncing.
  • Soft feel on the arms with added UPF 50+ protection from Eclipse sleeves.
  • Reduced seams and body-contouring fit minimize friction and irritation.

Cons

  • Extreme lightness may require sunscreen application under body panels.
  • The focus on lightweight materials might make it less durable for very rough use compared to heavier jerseys.
  • May be too cool for rides in mild or cooler temperatures.
  • Limited insulation properties due to its focus on summer performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jersey requires no specific setup as it is a ready-to-wear garment. Its compatibility is with standard cycling bib shorts and base layers. For care, it is recommended to machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water (30°C/86°F) and a mild detergent. Always use a garment bag to protect the fabric and fasten all zippers and closures before washing. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the technical properties of the textiles. Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, hang dry away from direct sunlight. Do not iron.
