The sV.blitzFeder_evo7 Shell was made so you’d have excellent torso protection when you need it and compresses into virtually nothing when you don’t.
The V is for vest. With a super-light windproof front. The material is thin, with a little stretch, and almost transparent. Unlike many wind vests, the side panels are where the stretch is. This both allows for keeping a close fit and venting. If you’re used to these vests flapping like a flag in the wind, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that both a result of the materials and the fit, you will barely have any flapping, and it will be much quieter to boot.
Because the materials are so thin, the zipper is probably the bulkiest part of the top, the vest easily compresses to fit inside the palm your hand. You can easily stow it in a jersey pocket, and then put other stuff in that pocket as well.
Wear it at the start of a ride, the end of a ride, when your shooting down long hills, anytime. As with all good vests, the Assos sV.blitzFeder_evo7 Shell is a four-season garment that deserves a place in your pocket on all but the hottest of days.
