Assos SS.mille Jersey Calypso Blue

• The 2010 SS.Mille Jersey from Assos has been a long time in the making.
• The FI.Mille Bib Shorts have been the go-to shorts for long distance riding for years and Assos has finally released a jersey to match.

Still cut to fit while in the cycling position, the SS.Mille offers are slightly more generous cut for more “robust” bodies and/or endurance racing. No fewer that four different Assos-designed fabrics are strategically placed around the jersey for a fit that is right at home on long, hot summer rides.

The front panel and sleeves of the SS.Mille are constructed with Assos' new Type.151 fabric. Thinner in volume than other Assos fabrics, Type.151 speeds up moisture transfer from the interior of the fabric to the exterior for faster evaporation. Type.151 also has been treated with an antibacterial formual designed to resist odor and extend the life of the jersey. The fabric also offers protection from harmful UVA/B/C rays.

The back panel of the SS.Mille Jersey features the same PlasmaTextile mesh and Stabilizer Panel Design found in their SS.13 Jersey. This combination offers supreme breathability and the support down the spine that holds the jersey in place; especially when the jersey pockets are loaded to capacity. Speaking of pockets, the SS.Mille offers three large pockets and a zippered fourth to securely hold your cash or keys.

The SS.Mille is designed with a slightly more generous cut compared to the Assos SS.Uno and SS.13 jerseys

Assos is one of the world leaders in producing quality cycling clothing and accessories. They operate from an area of Switzerland which is well known for its quality textile industry. In the 1970's, Toni Maier-Moussa, the founder and chairman of Assos completely by accident, invented lycra cycling clothing, whilst trying to produce the ultimate bicycle. During the wind tunnel tests of the first ever carbon-fibre bike, Toni found that downhill lycra cycling clothing produced much less drag than the popular woollen, knitted clothing of the time and it proved to be a huge hit! To this day Assos firmly believe in total product competence, delivering optimum functionality and comfort, by researching and manufacturing Assos cycling clothing and accessories from the highest quality materials.
