The new Assos hK.sturmNuss is a cycling specific high performance rainshell cycling knicker.
Use in all seasons but specifically useful in colder riding conditions. The hK.sturmNuss can be use as a protective shell over your Assos shorts, knickers or tights in wet riding conditions.
Use in conjunction with the rS.sturmPrinz (rainshell jacket), rainBootie, rainGlove and rainCap to make the perfect rainproof outfit. In more extreme weather you can protect the lower legs with the Assos after-Snow bootie.
Designed to create compact lower-body and leg protection that insulates without hindering movement.
The hK.sturmNuss features five pattern pieces, three different textiles and nine components. The central panels, most exposed to rain, are made from TRITON 2019 for maximum protection. The side panels are made from four way stretch TRITON 0017 for ease of movement.
- Silicon calf grippers.
- Assos halfshort style waistband to eliminate abdominal pressure.
- Taped seams where needed to improve water repellency.
The Assos Textile Laboratory developed the TRITON family of fabrics to provide a superior impermeability / vapor-permeability ratio. TRITON fabrics are able to adapt to changes in ambient temperature thanks to "flexible membrane barrier technology" When the temperature is low the membrane reduces permeability helping to retain body heat. As the temperature inside the garment rises, the membranes pores open to allow accelerated vapor transfer. TRITON fabrics are composite textiles meaning the delicate inner TRITON membrane is protected by application specific inner and outer fabric layers that enhance the process of staying dry by allowing evaporation while protecting from the elements.
The hK.sturmNuss is a new genre of low volume, high performance raingear specifically created for performance cycling, or as the ideal companion for long-distance touring.
Intelligently engineered, cycling specific raingear that works.
