Jacket Assos Schlosshund Équipe RS orange

The Assos Schlosshund Équipe RS jacket has supreme waterproof performance. Designed to protect the cyclist in all conditions. The Assos Equipe RS is the lightest waterproof jacket ever made by the Swiss company. It has a special three-layer fabric that is flexible and has a waterproof membrane. A top-of-the-range jacket that combines maximum wind and rain protection and great breathability. Assos has launched the principle of "activate your body and your equipment", which focusses on attaining and maintaining body temperature at an optimum level for cycling performance. The Equipe RS material is designed to "maintain a constant temperature, regardless of weather conditions".



Features:
- Schloss Tex: a specially-designed fabric that is soft, lightweight and waterproof. Stretchy, extremely comfortable and highly packable, this 3-layer construction has excellent abrasion resistance and relies on a hydrophilic membrane
- ‘Pocket slots': there are two cleverly positioned openings on the lower rear panel that allow access to your jersey or jacket pockets. They serve a double purpose as ventilation slots, as well as allowing manoeuvre-free access to the contents of your pocket.
- Racingfit: the fit of a garment is key for performance. Racingfit is used when we need a garment to perform well in the most extreme conditions, like during a race. Unlike regularFit and comfortFit, RacingFit is tighter and lightly more compressing. It will feel like a second skin as you ride, although it will probably feel restricting when you're not in the riding position. That means that it will bring improved performance, more comfort and less resistance.
- Reflective: this highly reflective material is included in the rear of the jacket. Along with the lolliRed colour, this improves visibility even in the most extreme weather conditions.
- Sealed seams: the seam construction with tape improves waterproofing.
- Internal and external silicone on the elasticated lower back seam: Added for stability and fit, these silicone grips provide great fit regardless of how hard you're pedalling
- Ultra lightweight and compact: With limited pocket space and the need to carry the essentials, we have diligently worked to create products with the lowest possible weight and a great packing capacity. Since no one wants to feel like a pack horse on journeys in changeable conditions, we have strived to find a balance between weight, volume and performance. The focus is always on making garments that exceed expectations, as your back-pocket insurance policy. This approach involves minimal volume and minimal seams.

Advice for use:
- Don't pull seams when you put on or take off Assos clothes
- Before getting onto your bike, put clothing on properly, especially bands and other pressure points, without forcing seams or joins.
- The Assos bibtights are designed for bike riding That means that the straps can be pulled too much when we stand up, when you get on the bike, the pressure should disappear, if not, then you need a different size
- Don't pull the bibtights too much when you use the toilet (for men). For this, it's better to pull the garment from the stomach area and straps, always leaning forward to reduce tension on the seams
- Avoid cycling near branches and bushes, as this is likely to break the clothing

Washing advice:
Every time you wash Assos garments, try to do this separately from other garments, this way you can avoid friction and preserve the properties of the Assos clothing
- Always separate lights and darks
- Before each wash, turn clothing inside out
- Assos clothing can be machine-washed, but always use a protective bag or delicate wash programme (maximum 30 degrees)
- Don't use fabric conditioner or aggressive products Always use neutral liquid soaps (Assos Active Wear Cleaner, for example)
- Don't stretch or squeeze Assos garments to extract excess water
- Don't use any kind of dryer on Assos clothes Leave your clothes to air dry, in a place that's sheltered from the sun

Storage:
- After every use, store the Assos garment in a well-ventilated place, although it would be ideal to wash it straight after your bike ride
- Don't dry or keep your item in direct sunlight
- Never leave garments in damp, closed places (avoid plastic bags, sports bags etc.)
- If you usually sweat a lot, you should rinse the garment in cold water after each bike ride This will protect the material from bacteria that could damage it
