EQUIPE RS Jersey S11

ASSOS EQUIPE RS Jersey S11

The ASSOS EQUIPE RS Jersey S11 is a WorldTour-proven short-sleeve race jersey that has been updated for the current season with even more aerodynamic sleeves, improved cooling, and reduced overall weight. Designed for hot conditions above +21 °C, it features the close-fitting racingFit cut that sits like a second skin in race mode. The body uses miniCheck Tex with an open 3D-knit structure for high breathability and UPF/LSF 25 at the front. The newly developed 550CX (warp-knit) sleeves are lighter, textured, and deliver UPF/LSF 35 along with aerodynamic advantages in aggressive riding positions. At the rear hem, PILtec Plug-In with micro-dot silicone keeps everything in place even when wet, while Triple Ramp Pockets reliably secure your on-the-go essentials.

Technical Details and Features

The miniCheck Tex front panel delivers excellent air circulation, stretch, and UPF/LSF 25 thanks to its open 3D structure, while the Stabilizer V11 back panel is extremely lightweight (UPF/LSF 15) and keeps the pockets from sagging. Due to the back panel's limited sun protection, ASSOS recommends applying sunscreen underneath the jersey when worn directly against the skin. The sleeves are made from the new 550CX warp-knit, combining a muscle-wrapping bi-stretch fit with inherent aero properties and UPF/LSF 35. Raw-edge-free, bonded finishes at the sleeves, hem, and zipper minimise transitions and keep the lines clean. The Triple Ramp Pockets integrate flexible panels as "lids" to keep food, your phone, and a mini pump securely and quietly in place. The composition and specifications (67%PL/22%PA/11%EA; >+21 °C; racingFit) are tailored for performance in warm conditions.

Intended Use and Benefits

This road race jersey really comes into its own during fast training rides, criteriums, and long alpine climbs on warm to hot Swiss summer days. The textured 550CX sleeves reduce drag at the leading edge, which is especially noticeable in a low, aggressive position. Thanks to PILtec Plug-In, the back stays put — even during sprints, out-of-the-saddle efforts, or in wet conditions — and the Triple Ramp Pockets offer practical storage without any bouncing around. The ultra-light Stabilizer V11 back panel actively cools, which is why sun protection is recommended underneath the back panel in strong sunlight. Testing also highlights the usability and stability of the pockets as a real plus, making the jersey highly practical even on long rides.

A note on fit and sizing: the racingFit silhouette is intentionally compressive and feels snug when standing, but sits precisely and comfortably on the bike. Available in sizes XS to XLG, the jersey covers the most common road cycling fits; ASSOS positions it as the go-to top layer for maximum speed. Independent tests report a measured weight of around 115 g in size S and confirm the pockets hold up well in real-world use. If you're between sizes and prefer a highly aerodynamic fit, you'll generally want to go with the smaller option — though your individual build is ultimately the deciding factor.
