UMA GT wind jacket summer

UMA GT wind jacket summer

The UMA GT wind jacket summer is your lightweight protective layer for windy descents, cool morning starts and surprising summer gusts – developed specifically for female cyclists. Assos combines windproof, water-repellent Foil Ultra at the front with elastic Glossy inserts on the sides, so the jacket fits close while still breathing well. The regularFit is tailored specifically for women and stays pleasantly quiet on the bike thanks to its rustle-free cut. A continuous, self-locking Full-Length Zipper helps with temperature regulation, and the whole thing packs down extremely small – ideal for your jersey pocket. The surface is additionally treated with a DWR coating that helps with light precipitation.

Technical Details and Features

The heart of this wind jacket is the extremely lightweight ripstop fabric Foil Ultra, which reliably blocks wind while keeping pack size minimal. Side Glossy panels increase elasticity and support breathability, preventing heat buildup when climbs get longer or pace gets higher. The two-layer collar construction improves comfort in aero position, while flat seams reduce friction with additional layers. The jacket is cut as regularFit for women, allowing it to layer easily over jersey or base layer. Material composition varies by color: approximately 60% polyester, 28% polyamide, 12% elastane, with permanent water-repellent DWR finish.

Applications and Benefits

In Switzerland, the UMA GT wind jacket summer proves itself on cool Lake Zurich shoreline rides as well as fast Alpine descents or commuting through the Limmat Valley. As an all-season layer, it serves in summer as emergency protection against wind and drizzle, and in transitional seasons as an additional layer over jersey and base layer. Thanks to its very small pack size, it stays discreetly in your pocket until you need it, and can be put on in seconds. The quiet material minimizes flapping at the handlebars, which is pleasant on long descents. Since the coating is only intended for light precipitation, it stays focused on dry to variably moist conditions.

For context within the Assos family: The summer wind jacket described here uses the proven Foil Ultra/Glossy materials and women-specific regularFit with rustle-free construction. In the current C2 generation, the wind shells have been partially switched to Breaker, Ventamesh and Sens Super/Sens Super Light fabrics to further increase breathability and noise reduction. However, the basic technical concept remains the same: windproof front protection, elastic sides and packable design for versatile layering. This allows you to choose between generations and colors depending on season and personal preference, without compromising on versatility.
