Description
An elevated, race-tuned balaclava for the coldest rides of the year
Having the right gear for the coldest winter rides is the idea behind this piece. When others decide to cancel their rides, we’re confident that you’ll ride straight through the winter and embody the ASSOS ethos of Suffer in Comfort. The high performance ASSOSOIRE face mask ULTRA winter has been crafted to protect your head from the worst of the elements.
Tailored using our latest technical fabrics, this piece has been engineered scrupulously, right down to the level of its fibres. Employing a specific natural and synthetic yarn weave, this piece gives you cold-busting warmth with opulent comfort and breathability. The natural fibres contribute to wind protection whilst the synthetic fibres give it breathability. For added protection on the coldest days we included a panel of our latest tri-layer thermo-hydrophilic membrane, known as 2XS, on the neck. The result is a piece of riding equipment that’s fit to beat the bite of the coldest days.
TECHNOLOGY
LanaProppy: Main textile, merino-polypropylene blend with moisture management performance. As well as being incredibly soft on the skin, polypropylene has extreme push-and-pull effect while merino works as a wind barrier when wet.
Push-pull: Engineered to react to your intensity of sweating and the subsequent cooling effect with what we call a push-pull effect that works as your personal micro-climate, essentially pushing moisture to the next or outer layer to cool you down when hot, or pulling it back as insulation when cold.
2XS: Part of our proprietary Stratagon family of tech-savvy fabrics, we’ve constructed a tri-layer construction with a thermo-hydrophilic membrane, a brushed carbon-sanded inner layer that prioritizes softness and comfort.
