Assos - Equipe RS Aero Short-Sleeved Jersey - Black Series - Men's

The fast gets faster

Evolution has produced what ASSOS claims is the fastest-ever version of its Equipe short-sleeved Jersey.

Precise patterning and sharp finishing details deliver the next generation of ASSOS speed and race-ready comfort.

Improving on the venerable Equipe RS Jersey was no small task, so was approached by addressing the smallest details - those which add up when every second counts. The resulting Aero SS Jersey does just that, combining micro-adjusted patterning and sharp finishing touches. So now you have the next phase of ASSOS aerodynamics, one it's calling 'aeroFit'.

The development started with ASSOS applying its proven circular knit miniCheck Tex, a highly elastic 3D knit fabric that’s been specifically developed with breathability and moisture repelling qualities in mind. The back of the jersey incorporates ASSOS' Stabilizer textile, which secures the jersey with its limited vertical-stretch composition.

The jersey's developers were also persuaded in their choice of material by the aggressive position taken by speed-focused riders. It also had to be capable of being used to produce bonded sleeves, yoke, and pockets with joins as smooth and flexible as possible. The result is ASSOS' fine-gauge warp knit Push Pull textile, which offers high UV protection (UPF 50+) along with quick-drying, bi-stretch properties.

Beyond the more precise aeroFit patterning, extra purpose-driven details also help give you increased speed and comfort. It begins in the front with the ultralight bonded camlock zipper, taped waist, and the combination of raw + bonded sleeves for both comfort and hold. The jersey's back panels feature the proven triple ramp pockets to lock in your cargo, along with a lighter elastic on the hem for further weight savings.

Key Features

aeroFit: Our trimmest, speed-focused cut that’s tighter and more compressive than our racingFit. May feel restrictive out of the riding position but feels like a second skin while riding.

miniCheck Tex: Open 3D knit fabric that has truly exceptional breathability. Quick drying and superlight. UPF 25 despite weighing so little. Built-in odorControl for durability and hygiene.

Push Pull: The pockets and sleeves are made of ASSOS-developed Push Pull warp-knit textile with high UV protection (UPF 50+). Highly breathable, this fine gauge knit with bi-stretch is quick drying and very comfortable.

Stabiliser: This featherweight but strong material is perfect for creating a cooling panel on the back of the jersey. It helps you maintain your stability and alignment, and despite its minimal weight and volume, still offers UPF30 protection.

Triple Ramp Pockets: This special storage design features three textile-lidded pockets optimally located so you can get at them easily, yet they remain secure and stable. There's also an earphones hole in the right pocket, and the pockets are topped with micro-perforated bonded reflective material for visibility.

Bonded Zipper: Keep your cool courtesy of an ultralight bonded full-length zipper with camlock. Micro-injected neck tab stabilises the fabric to enable you to work the zipper with one hand.

Raw Cut + Bonded Sleeves: A smooth wrap front with bonded rear strikes the best balance between comfort and stability.

Taped Waist: Bonded edges give added refinement to the fit and improved aerodynamics.

Lightweight Rear Hem: A wide, secure elastic hem ensures a frictionless fit while riding, yet is lighter and more breathable than the shirt's previous generation.
