Assos - Women's habujacketLaalalai Winter Jacket - Black Series

A pared back, jersey-like jacket with levels of warmth and protection you wouldn't expect 

The women’s specific habujacketLaalalai winter jacket shows ASSOS' product developers' technical ingenuity, the company claims.

A true winter jacket for cycling, it is incredibly light and compact which makes it supremely practical - and an undoubted pleasure to wear.

To achieve such advanced performance, this ASSOS women’s cycling jacket employs a selection of the smartest textiles the company has yet developed.

Front-facing Stratagon Light keeps you well protected from wind and rain at a minimal weight; the specially-developed RXO thermal fabric has such a low volume that you can fit the whole jacket into a jersey pocket. But the habujacketLaalalai's ability to keep its light feel in warmth of up to 15 degrees C, it’s rare that you will need to take it off.

With such performance and comfort, not to mention the stylish blackSeries colour scheme, it's possible you won't want to take it off in any case.

The jacket is also available in high-vis, bright National Red should you need something a little more noticeable.

GARMENT FEATURES 

stratagonLight: Windproof, water-resistant and breathable material developed alongside ASSOS' fabric suppliers to the manufacturer's specifications. The result is a series of highly effective and lightweight protective panels.

RXQ: A lighter weight RX fabric variant which has been used in areas where great breathability is key. Internal 3D air channels make it a perfect low volume insulator and temperature regulator.

Refined collar: A new design which employs a double layer of fabric for ideal fit and frictionless comfort; use of RXQ and stratagonLight offers insulation and windproofing.

ASSOS standard pockets with triple ramp concept: The pocket design has been thoroughly tested and features a new layout that ensures your contents are secure and stable regardless of how hard you exert yourself. Yellow internal accents denote the garment’s climaRange.

Arm pocket: Extra storage located on the right upper arm - a useful alternative location if winter gloves are making it more difficult for you to rummage around with your hands. There's enough space for a mobile phone.

Rear stabiliser: A two-way stretch material with minimal give in the vertical axis. The ASSOS rear stabiliser panel design allows for stable, high capacity pockets that won’t sag.

Enhanced safety trim: Added reflective visibility features alert other road users to your presence, yet have been incorporated without detracting from the jacket's looks.

Raglan cut sleeves: Sleeves that are integrated all the way into the shirt, rather than just being attached at the shoulder. They give you maximum freedom of movement and a slick, flowing fit. 

Raw-cut cuffs: A high-quality finish which eradicates the hem and uses the maker's maximum-comfort Sens Heavy Tex. An orange accent on the inner cuffs signals the garment’s climaRange capabilities.

Sunglasses holder: Specifically designed loop for secure storage of your sunglasses, located on the right arm. Compatible with a range of other models of cycling glasses besides ASSOS' own Zegho products.

Reflective zips: The fasteners on the two security pockets and the full-length front zip each incorporate reflective stitching to give you extra visibility.

Light-absorbing rear elastic hem: A wide, secure elastic hem that ensures a frictionless fit while riding; plus a reflective strip that absorbs light, resulting in added safety when faced by varying light conditions such as riding into a tunnel.
