MILLE GT Hashoogi WinterJacket S11

Assos MILLE GT Hashoogi WinterJacket S11

The MILLE GT Hashoogi WinterJacket S11 is a regularFit softshell jacket for long training rides and base miles in cold, changeable Swiss winter weather. The main AIRBLOCK‑EVO.916 material shields against wind and spray while remaining noticeably breathable, so you don't overheat even at higher speeds. On the sleeves, Assos combines exposed zones in NEOS Light with RX on the inside; on the back, RX EVO Plus increases moisture wicking without compromising weather protection. Raw-cut sleeve cuffs, the elastic struzzoKragen collar and Triple Ramp Pockets round off the practical details; available in sizes XS–3XL and in multiple colours depending on the season.

• AIRBLOCK‑EVO.916 softshell on the torso for storm-proof protection with increased breathability and elastic fit.
• Sleeve mix of NEOS Light outside and RX inside for wind/water-repellent shell with breathable warmth.
• Back panel in RX EVO Plus to optimise moisture management during winter intervals and climbs.
• bodySleeve AEPD cut construction, regularFit, raw-cut cuffs and ergonomic struzzoKragen collar for tension-free movement.
• Three Triple Ramp Pockets with internal fabric tabs and reflective details for better visibility.
• Material mix: 54% polyamide, 26% polyester, 20% elastane; equipped by the manufacturer with eco DWR.

Technical Details and Functions

The clever feature of the Hashoogi S11 is the material gradation: AIRBLOCK‑EVO.916 as the warmest variant of the AIRBLOCK family forms the weatherproof core, while NEOS Light on exposed sleeve areas keeps wind and moisture out and RX insulates on the inside. On the back, RX EVO Plus works as a breathable counterpart to quickly wick away moisture – ideal when you're switching between effort and recovery on rolling terrain. Assos doesn't provide official WP/MVP ratings for this jacket; however, for NEOS Light in other models, guideline values like >10,000 mm water column and MVP 27,000 g/m²/24 h are mentioned, which generally categorises the membrane's performance. The struzzoKragen collar stabilises the microclimate at the neck without forcing ventilation via zip, and the raw-cut cuffs avoid pressure points under winter gloves. The result is low volume, good protection and efficient thermoregulation for ambitious winter sessions.

Applications and Benefits

This jacket is made for cold, wet days from commute routes to long base rides on Swiss roads, when wind, drizzle and road grime come into play. Thanks to the breathable softshell combination, performance is maintained even during more intense sections, without feeling clammy or overheated. Assos recommends combining with winter baselayers and e.g. the MILLE/UMA GT Winter Bib Tights, allowing the system to be fine-tuned for temperatures around freezing point up to single-digit positive ranges. Reflective elements on the pockets provide visibility, while the contoured regularFit cut reduces flapping surfaces. Those who often ride with gloves benefit additionally from the friction-free, raw-cut sleeve cuffs.

Fit, Handling and Practical Experience

The S11 feels close-fitting and stable on the bike, without being as uncompromising as race cuts; however, it's noticeably pre-shaped for the riding position. This brings advantages during tempo sections, but can feel somewhat tighter when standing or at coffee stops – a deliberately chosen focus for sporty winter rides. In testing environments, breathability, rain protection and low volume are highlighted; some miss an additional, separately zippable security pocket and note that the sleeves are thermally less insulated, which can feel cool at very easy paces. For riders who tend to train at a brisk pace, this setup works well though, because moisture escapes faster and the arms stay drier as a result. The three Triple Ramp back pockets offer deep, easily accessible storage space, and contents remain stable even with spray water.

Care, Materials and Service Notes

The material mix of polyamide, polyester and elastane is easy to care for; for long service life, we recommend delicate wash cycle, minimal spinning and occasionally reactivating the DWR through gentle drying or suitable waterproofing refresh. All textiles used are either waterproof or treated with environmentally friendly water repellency, making the jacket more robust against winter spray water. Assos designates the Hashoogi S11 as part of a completely redesigned winter platform; details like bodySleeve AEPD, struzzoKragen collar and raw-cut cuffs are designed for friction-free layering. According to the manufacturer, there's a two-year warranty and crash policy; please note the respective manufacturer's conditions. This keeps the jacket a reliable element of your winter cycling kit for many seasons to come.
