Best winter jacket that I’ve ever owned. I just love it!!!

Great jacket but way too small!

This is a magnificent jacket with keen attention to detail and very high quality like you would expect from Assos. However, after all the years I have been wearing Assos gear, I should have realized that these garments are cut for the slimmest guys. I am slim but even the medium sized jacket was too tight. I had to order two sizes up and hope that the large fits just right.

Excellent! Well worth the money.

I've used this jacket for one season so far and it has been just what I needed. In the 38-46 Degree range, I'll wear a short sleeve base layer under it and be fine for 2+ hour rides. I'll switch to the Ultraz winter base layer for rides in the 25-38 Degree range and for rides below 25 Degrees, I'll typically add the mid-layer which has worked well down into the single digits (Fahrenheit). I wear and Medium and was 5'7" and 178lb for the winter. The jacket was roomie which was perfect for adding the mid layer. I am now 165lbs and without the mid layer, the jacket feels quite loose in the core. Hard efforts with weather warmer than 40 Degrees will probably require unzipping the jacket. I typically switch to the Spring/Fall LS jersey with the base layer and a vest at that point, unless its raining. Well worth the investment.

Handles extreme cold well

I ride with this jacket in sub 20F NY weather all the time. Warmth is never an issue even with high windchill. When the temps get into mid 30s you have to unzip to vent because of how well it insulates.

Great product

Wow, finally a jacket that is comfortable, wind-proof and warm from 45 F down. My main issue with my other winter jackets was the wind protection, especially in the arm sections. I took this bad boy out the other day with the temp starting at around 36 F and ended around 45 F. Wind was between 12-16 MPH. I wore an Assos, long sleeved, winter skinfoil 4.4 base layer under the jacket. First 15-20 minutes of the ride, I was questioning my purchase. After an hour on the bike, I was noticing that I was comfortable and not thinking about the weather. 2 hours into my ride I was not thinking about the jacket at all (it was doing its job). Especially when I was riding straight into a head wind of 16 MPH for numerous miles. I could not feel the wind through this jacket!!!! After my three hours in the cold was up, I was contemplating buying a second jacket in the lollyRed (just joking!). This is an outstanding jacket. Once you get over the $369 price tag, everything else is great. In this instance, you get what you pay for. If you are looking for a winter jacket that will battle the cold and wind, look no further. The jacket actually does everything it claims to. I am a 51 year old, 5'10", 190 lb. weekend warrior rider. I only ride 2 times a week. Each ride is between 50-60 miles. I am in great shape, but would definitely be considered a "bigger" rider in the peloton. I usually wear an XL in all of my Assos Kit. I did go up to the XLG because I felt the XL was just a "smidge" too tight. After I wore the jacket on my first ride, I probably would have been OK with the XL, but I like the "roomier" fit of the XLG for my winter rides. I can not wait to see what the limits (cold temp) of this jacket will be. I feel that with my winter Assos skinfoil 4.4 base layer, I should be fine down to low to mid 20's F.
