Assos Equipe RS Alleycat Clima Capsule jacket

Born from WorldTour testing and feedback, the Alleycat is engineered primarily for racing and training missions in nasty weather, where variable light conditions, fast descents, and drastic shifts in temperature are a given.

Extreme conditions call for radical departures from tradition, so they tore up the rules for rain jackets and reassembled the parts in a hybrid design that addresses the needs of specific body locations in the mercurial weather of spring racing, fall maintenance, and winter training. The reflective, breathable upper panel repels water and wind and flashes reflectivity to keep you seen on overcast days. The lighter lower panels promote breathability to regulate temperatures when you’re in Zone 3 and up, and the sleeves, collar, and side panels boost stretch to preserve the signature ASSOS fit.

The 2L Silver Haze membrane headlines the Alleycat, shielding the leading edge against wind and rain. Lighter Yubari panels increase breathability without compromising water-repellency in less exposed areas, and the high-stretch Push Pull textile pushes comfort and breathability while pulling the jacket further into aerodynamic fit territory.

The aeroFit is tailored for racing, so the Alleycat is best layered over EQUIPE RS equipment rather than regularFit GT line. Raw-cut hem reduces layering bulk for uncompromising aerodynamics.
