Assos
Fugu Extreme Weather Winter Jacket
Assos created
the all new extreme weather winter jacket the
Fugu Jacket. How does it differ from its predecessor the Gator
Jacket? The Fugu Jacket gives you a "custom-tailored" fit that
offers an unbelievable warmth-to-weight ratio that will keep you
warm even when the wind picks up and the mercury drops! This
is your "no-fuss" alternative to bulky winter jackets and layers due
to its excellent heat retention properties which enable you to
withstand extremely cold conditions. Hey, here in Chicago,
temperatures during the heart of winter drop to brrr-30 degrees or
lower. However, with this jacket, you'll feel like your riding
in 70 degree weather.
Assos named the
Fugu jacket after
the Japanese fish, fugu rubripes.
While epicureans
call it a delightful delicacy,
top chefs must undergo a rigorous
and lengthy apprenticeship before they can slice,
dice and serve this particular
fish. You must have special skills and
knowledge about the creature
since there are poisonous parts of
the fish, and one slip
of the knife can result in death from consumption.
This hasn't stopped
Fugu connoisseurs from
enjoying the treat; in fact, it only seems to add to
the intense excitement.
While Assos had
already created an incredible extreme weather winter jacket, the
Assos designers were ready to kick it up a notch. Just like
top chefs serving Fugu, Assos realized that its customers only want
the best. Hence, after three years of R&D, Assos designed the
most ingenious and innovative winter cycling jacket that lives up to
the Assos name.
The
Fugu jacket features Airblock 851 and Thermax textile panels that are
strategically placed to protect your body against harsh winds while
retaining your body's core temperature. Keep in mind that each
panel is sewn to Assos' exacting standard. An integrated RX
layering system insulates your upper body and regulates your heat.
The attached RX layering system features a neck gator for added
protection.
The inner layer naturally wicks away moisture to keep you dry.
The honey-comb collar works like a turtleneck to keep the cold winds
from creeping in. Anatomically
tailored according to the ASSOS Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design (AEPD)
philosophy
the Fugu jacket contours to your exact body dimensions to provide
superior comfort while in your riding position.
So much time and
detail has been give to the design. Even the cargo pockets are
anatomically positioned to make access easier while riding.
Assos has developed a private oasis for cold-weather winter cycling.
