The TiburuGiletLlalai Vest marks the first women's specific gilet from Assos. Its cut is designed for the female physique while preventing unwanted bunching when the pockets are full and in the cycling position. This fit and its innovative and high-quality materials, ensure that this vest is able to follow your every movement while offering excellent levels of ventilation during the variable weather conditions of spring and fall. Assos crafted this vest based on its highly successful falkenZahn but redesigned its materials and design to be more breathable and packable. It did so by revising its side panels, shoulders, and the rear utilizing the same high-performance fabric used in the equipe jersey. On the front, panels are constructed with twinDeck foil insulation to keep you protected on the chilliest descents. TwinDeck is a dual layer construction of Assos' RXQ and Tibet fabrics. This allows the best features of both materials so the vest is breathable and packable, while better able to adjust to fluctuating temperatures during the shoulder seasons. RXQ, thanks to its brushed surface and checkered structure, provides excellent thermal regulation and wicks moisture, while Tibet is a circular polypropylene knit, that works with the RXQ to further add thermal insulation and manage sweat. Assos built this jersey for racing and has every intention that it'll see competition and spirited rides and as such, it employs its racingFit. RacingFit is tighter and slightly more compressive than its regularFit and comfortFit so it'll fit like a second skin when in the cycling position, leaving it to feel slightly restrictive while off the bike. This ensures more comfort during higher efforts and less wind drag. A taped waist allows for minimal seams for less bulk and does a better job retaining heat. When it's time to head up that climb again, an easy to use cam lock zip with a welded bottom seam reduces friction and makes opening the vest for climate control effortless. T...   read more
