Assos sV. emergency Vest

OK. We understand!

The first question we get asked when people spy this on the Assos displays is: 'What. Is. That?!'

It is often the case when someone does or suggests something that is a little new, a little different (take Darwinism for example) that eyebrows are raised and scorn pours forth. So we ask you to reserve your judgement on the Assos sV.emergency vest.

Assos are no strangers to thinking outside the box and the sV.emergency vest is testament to that. Designed to be a multi-purpose garment that will suit racing applications such as long descents after perspiration-producing climbs in summer, but that will be equally suited to chilly morning training rides or evening commutes in the autumn and spring. 

The sV.emergency vest is 'micro-volume chest protection' and is born of Assos' obsessive desire to reduce the volume of cycling garments while keeping them functional and protective. It is ergonomically shaped to contour to the body and is designed to be quick to take on and off for racing conditions and all but the most essential features have been eliminated to create a super-minimal, functional garment.

Keeping the cold air from your chest is an essential part of keeping warm. Cold air on your core causes the body to vaso-constrict at the extremeties, forcing blood to the core to preserve vital functions. By keeping your core warm, you reduce this effect thus keeping the whole body warmer for longer. The gilet therefore is an essential piece of clothing for any cyclist and should in this riders opinion, be in your back pocket for all but the hottest flat rides. Descending after a tough climb causes similar problems as the sweat evaporates from soggy jerseys, yet few of us will sacrifice the pocket space for this brilliant piece of kit.

Given that the Assos sV.emergency vest is half the size and considerably less bulky than other gilets, this pocket packing problem is all but nullified. If you really are a minimalist then this is for you. Add to its diminutive size the oversized reflective details around the edge of the whole vest and you have a garment that offers enhanced visibility and safety on those winter training rides.

The Assos sV.emergency vest is all about function rather than form and when you wear it, you'll know what we mean.
