DYORA R 2/3 Gilet S11

DYORA R 2/3 Gilet S11

The Assos DYORA R 2/3 Gilet S11 is a medium-weight, insulating women's cycling vest for intensive training in dry, cool weather during spring and autumn. The front features RX Thermotextil for noticeable warmth, while the lighter back panel Stabilizator V11 efficiently releases excess heat. An additional layer of OSMOS Medium at the stomach provides light compression and stabilisation without restricting freedom of movement on the bike. Three perforated stretch pockets offer practical storage space for gels, gloves or a light cap – easily accessible and well ventilated.

• RX front insulation, combined with breathable Stabilizator V11 back panel
• OSMOS Medium for light compression and comfortable warmth at the lower abdomen
• Aerodynamic AEPD 11 racingFit with zeroPressure Waist for comfortable hold
• struzzoKragen for well-dosed warmth at the neck without opening the zip
• Three Perforated Stretch Pockets for secure, ventilated storage space
• Versatile as midlayer over summer jersey or under wind/rain shells

Technical Details and Functions

The vest combines targeted body zone insulation with highly breathable ventilation: RX encases chest and upper back, OSMOS Medium extends thermal performance at the torso, and Stabilizator V11 limits vertical stretch so loaded pockets don't sag. The AEPD 11 racingFit fits like a second skin and offers 360-degree stability, ideal for high intensity and changing cadences. The zeroPressure Waist distributes pressure evenly in the waist area – noticeable when breathing in the drops or standing out of the saddle on short climbs. The softly insulating struzzoKragen actively regulates the microclimate at the neck without needing to open the zip. The three Perforated Stretch Pockets keep contents secure while the perforations improve rear ventilation.

Applications and Benefits

As part of the Assos 2/3 System, this women's vest is designed for transitional periods when it's cool in the morning and warmer during the day. It works solo over a summer jersey on flatter training rides around Zurich as well as a midlayer under a light shell on longer Alpine descents. Thanks to the breathable back, you're less likely to overheat during intervals or headwind sections, while the front insulation reliably protects the upper body. The vest integrates seamlessly into the Assos Layering System and can be combined with skin layer, long-sleeve jersey or rain jacket depending on conditions. This gives you a flexible solution for typical Swiss spring/autumn days without unnecessary bulk or rustling.

Additionally, the DYORA R 2/3 Gilet S11 stands out with a cycling-specific fit that remains stable in the drops and minimises bunching at the stomach. Current S11 generation reports emphasise the construction designed for high-intensity efforts with noticeable compression stability, as also described with the AEPD 11 Fit. In practice, this means: less flapping, less pocket bounce and a defined fit that proves itself even during pace changes. Combined with the stretchy materials, this creates a comfortable, low-volume layer that's barely noticeable – until you really need it.
