Fresh Goods Sunday - Assos Mille GT LS Jersey Spring Fall, Black Series

 

Yes more Asos clothing! I just wore this long sleeved jersey again today under my jacket as it was rather damp but warm in Hamsterley Forest this morning. It has got to be the thinnest / breathable long sleeved jersey I have ever owned. It is by no means a winter thickness jersey, well not for the typical North of England weather we get. It is ok on warmer days with a thicker windproof gilet or under a full jacket. There is very little warmth or protection when worn on its own. To be honest its more like a long sleeved summer jersey. I have worn it for quite a few rides since buying it but as the weather will get colder it will have to back into the cupboard until Spring 2023. As ever the quality and fell of the materials is top notch and cannot fault the top in anyway when wore in the correct temperature / weather conditions / layering system. it has a full length smooth zip and three rear pockets. It washes well and dries very quickly. As ever with Assos the rrp is eye watering and cannot see how they can justify the asking price regardless how good the top is. I got some discount, but it is still top end price for a long sleeved top in my eyes. 

RRP £120 and I paid £90 from Wiggle inc 48 hr p&p - Discount 25%

The ultimate upper body layer for cool mornings and chilly descents in the transitional seasons of spring and fall.

We’ve engineered this jersey to keep you warm during chilly mornings and to offer sufficient breathability so you don’t overheat as the sun comes up. Given volatile weather conditions of early and late season, this jersey had to be fast-drying and highly breathable, but we also wanted it to possess a more relaxed fit that’s ideal for training rides.
