It pairs two fabric systems in one garment: a waterproof, windproof \u003cb\u003eCORE Light softshell\u003c\/b\u003e across the shoulders and chest, and a high-stretch, midweight \u003cb\u003eLITHIUM Medium\u003c\/b\u003e insulation panel across the belly. That split construction sets it apart from a standard vest — the zones that take the brunt of wind and rain get a membrane barrier, while the core gets stretch and warmth without added bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 10.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAt \u003cb\u003e152 grams\u003c\/b\u003e, the vest packs down small enough for a jersey pocket (Packability rated 4\/5), yet it holds a \u003cb\u003ewater column above 25,000mm\u003c\/b\u003e with windproof and waterproof scores of 3\/5 each — enough to handle a shoulder-season shower without the weight of a full rain jacket. Breathability is rated \u003cb\u003e4\/5\u003c\/b\u003e with an inverted cup rating of 13,400 g\/m²\/24hr, and a lightweight rear panel further regulates internal temperature. Assos rates it \u003cb\u003e5\/5 for endurance riding\u003c\/b\u003e and 4\/5 for adventure use — a layering piece for long days rather than a criterium accessory (racing use is rated 2\/5).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-indent: -.25in;
