The TARGA stands in as the third iteration of our flagship EQUIPE RS Rain Jacket, returning with a more durable black membrane sandwiched in the middle of the 3L Schloss Tex material. In addition to being a touch more watertight, it also adds increased durability to this ASSOS-exclusive ultrathin softshell. We also removed the rear pocket slots, as the contents of your pockets are easily reached by unzipping the double-slider zipper from the bottom. This, in conjunction with the new stitchless reflective strip down the center of the back, ensures there are no points of water ingress along the back.

With the TARGA’s superlight, versatile design, we recommend stowing the jacket in a rear pocket in the same manner you would a traditional year-round wind shell. Layer it over your other layers to block the wind, shield you from rain, and add a touch of insulation in every riding season.
