Assos – Liberty RS23 Thermo Rain Jersey – Black Series – Unisex

A pro-spec waterproof jersey engineered for the harshest weather and most demanding race conditions

Another fruit of ASSOS’ close ties with the BMC Racing pro team, this jersey was engineered to fill a gap in the riders’ protective arsenal.

They were looking for a lightweight, waterproof jersey, and prototypes were produced before being subjected to extensive testing.

The end product is the EQUIPE RS Thermo Rain Jersey, also known as the Liberty, a pro-spec, lightweight, waterproof jersey.

The internal label classifies the Liberty as a “rain thermo racing device.” It has been stringently engineered to be as watertight as necessary, as aerodynamic as possible, and as low volume as needed when performing at your maximum.

Unlike conventional approaches to thermal rain jerseys, the Liberty uses ASSOS’ non-porous Stratagon Light material, which stays lightweight and able to perform even when wet. So now, ASSOS is getting interest from other World Tour teams in buyingthis product for their athletes.

ASSOS’ cycling-specific body mapping has been used to precisely place five textiles, 13 patterns, and 10 components, ensuring the jersey stays aerodynamic while also being immune to wind, rain, and low temperatures.

Careful placement of rear ventilation slots, known as squamoVenTech is evidence of the obsessive attention to detail, along with the use of fewer stitches to minimise the risk of water entering; the double, dual-direction zipper; the large reflective panel on the rear for visibility; three optimally positioned rear pockets lined with a breathable mesh; and taped seams.

The Liberty’s distinctive design is based on ASSOS latest analysis of athletes’ bodies when competing, a project it calls HI-AMtec (HeatInject – AccessMap). The left chest panel over the rider’s heart benefits from a layer of its Schloss Tex, which adds extra warmth and boostsblood circulation by targeting the source directly. This is in line with ASSOS’ objective of reducing volume while riding, and ensuring that riders are equipped for all conditions, without having to carry extra bulk when racing.
