MILLE GT Wind Vest C2

Assos MILLE GT Wind Vest C2

The MILLE GT Wind Vest C2 is your uncomplicated protective layer for changeable conditions on Swiss roads and alpine passes. It combines a windproof front with a highly breathable mesh back while remaining surprisingly quiet without rustling. At just around 75 g (size M), it quickly disappears into your jersey pocket and is instantly ready for descents or cool mornings. The revised fit provides more freedom of movement and less friction when layering over your jersey.

• Windproof Breaker front with water-repellent treatment; back made from tear-resistant, bi-elastic Ventamesh for maximum air exchange.
• Ultra-light and packable: approx. 75 g (size M) for minimal space in your jersey pocket.
• Quiet, close-fitting regularFit for stable positioning without flapping.
• Optimised elastic arm openings reduce friction and avoid overlapping with jersey hems.
• Sizes XS–3XL; material mix 87% polyamide / 13% elastane.
• Designed for layering over the MILLE GT Jersey during descents, cool or slightly damp conditions.

Technical Details and Features

The front is made from Breaker textile with durable water-repellent treatment that shields against headwind and light precipitation. On the back, Assos uses Ventamesh, a tear-resistant, bi-elastic mesh that efficiently dissipates body heat and prevents overheating. The anatomically placed regularFit follows your riding position and reduces friction between layers thanks to targeted seam placement. Revised arm openings provide more elasticity and prevent overlapping with your jersey hems. With its ultra-light construction, the vest can be stored compactly and is immediately ready for action when the weather changes.

Applications and Benefits

This vest is ideal for fast descents on road bikes, fresh morning commutes in the city, and longer passes when the air becomes noticeably cooler at altitude. The windproof front reduces heat loss while the breathable back allows moisture to escape quickly. This keeps you flexible during transitional weather without having to reach for a heavy jacket immediately. When drizzle or road spray appears, the water-repellent treatment provides additional safety margin. Thanks to the regularFit and optimised arm openings, layering over a MILLE GT Jersey works particularly comfortably.

Variants, Fit and Construction

The MILLE GT Wind Vest C2 is available in three variants, covering different style preferences without changing its functional core. The size range from XS to 3XL allows precise adjustment to your build, with the fit being close to the body but not race-tight. Assos positions this vest in the MILLE GT Endurance line, which means a balanced combination of protection, breathability and weight. Additionally, the 2-year warranty and stated crash policy underscore the durability and service philosophy of the manufacturer. If you want to combine minimal bulk with maximum benefit, this vest is a reliable, everyday solution for tours throughout Switzerland.

Material and Care Instructions (practical tips)

The mix of 87% polyamide and 13% elastane provides the necessary robustness at the front and the elasticity for slip-free fit. Thanks to the water-repellent treatment, light rain initially beads off while the airy back panel supports moisture transport. For long service life, it's recommended to dry the vest promptly after sweaty rides and not to crumple it permanently when storing. This keeps the fibres and DWR treatment performing longer, and the vest is always ready for the next descent.
