Assos Trail Steinbeisser Jacket Black

The Assos Trail Steinbeisser jacket is made from Schloss Tex. This waterproof 3-layer Softshell fabric is durable and exceptionally breathable, making it an ideal material to choose from first for the design of a waterproof jacket. For the next phase of design, use the trailFit cut, as it is tight enough to prevent it from getting caught up in tree branches and boulders on trails, but loose enough to provide a free range of motion in the upper body. When you're in an upright position, you'll feel a slight tug on your chest and see the sleeves appear long, but when you extend your arms out to the handlebars and make a turn, you'll feel the jacket snap into place. From here, it uses a number of proven features for dirt roads, such as the longer rear hem to keep you protected from mud and wheel splash, longer sleeve edges with flexible panels to blend in smoothly with gloves, and the unique hood design to fit under the helmet to keep your head dry without obstructing your view with the addition of the NEOS Light stretch fabric panel. Finally, it incorporates fully sealed seams throughout the garment, front zipped pockets and a two-way zip. The result: a waterproof jacket for any adventure with a forecast of rain.

The Assos garments feature a specific cut which has been designed with your position on the bicycle in mind. Some Assos garments have been specially designed for users of athletic build. Assos garments have an anatomical fit, based on the AEPD system (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design), therefore Assos has designed their garments the cyclist's protection and adaptation in mind, but without overdoing on pressure points. The best way to feel Assos' anatomical precision is by wearing their garments and getting yourself in position on your bicycle. You will feel how the clothes adapt perfectly to your cycling posture. Obviously, Assos does not design clothing to be comfortable off the bike, this is a normal feeling among customers.
Purchasing the wrong size (too large or too small) will cause discomfort. A garment that is too large may cause irritation and discomfort due to folds or surpluses of the fabric, since in this case Assos' personal ALS sizing system would not work perfectly. If the garment is too small, the points of union and seams will stretch excessively, resulting in an increase in pressure and discomfort.
Suggestions for use:
- Never pull on seams when putting on or taking off Assos garments
- Before getting on the bicycle, properly put on your clothes, especially the seat pad and other pressure points, without forcing the seams or points of union
- Assos bib shorts are designed for cycling. This means the bib straps can be over stretched when standing up, on your bike this excessive pressure disappears, if this is not the case review your sizing
- Avoid over stretching the bib shorts when peeing (for men). It's best to do this by pulling the garment from the belly and the straps, always leaning forward to reduce tension on the seams
- Avoid cycling near branches and bushes, this will undoubtedly spoil your clothes

Washing advice:
- Each time you wash your Assos garments try to do so separately from the rest of your clothes, this way you will avoid friction with other fabrics and preserve the properties of your Assos garments
- Always separate dark clothes from whites
- Before each wash, turn the clothes inside out
- Assos clothes can be washed in the washing machine, but you must always use the protective bag and a washing program for delicate clothes (maximum 30C)
- Do not use fabric softeners or aggressive products. Always use liquid and neutral soaps (example, Assos Active Wear Cleaner)
- Do not stretch or squeeze Assos garments even to extract excess water
- Never use a tumble dryer with Assos garments. Let your clothes air dry, in a place not exposed to the sun

Storage:
- After each outing store your Assos garments in a well ventilated place, although it would be ideal to wash them immediately after getting off your bike
- Do not dry or store clothes in full sun
- Never store the garments in a humid and enclosed place (avoid plastic bags, sports bags, etc.)
- If you tend to sweat a lot, it is recommended that you rinse the garment in cold water after each use. This will protect the fabrics from bacteria that could damage them
