This is the second Assos cycling jersey I have bought. The first one was a mtb one which was half price and cannot fault the design, quality and value for money. I have used it for a couple of summers now and still looks as good as new. This time I opted for a road short sleeved jersey. Assos have a massive ranges of models / designs ranging from expensive to totally eye watering. This model is one of the cheaper models but still packs a punch in the materials used, quality and design. I have used it now at the end of last summer and this summer. Again I cannot fault anything about the jersey and does everything I want it to do. It has three large pockets to the rear, silicone grippers to the rear of the hem, large pull tab on the full length zip which runs smooth and freely. The sleeves are made from a material that is very hard to describe but they stretch and stay in place and don't move, like a very thin breathable wet suit type material'ish. It is perfect in warmer weather and when its slighty cooler I wear a base layer or with a this gilet. Assos are selling this design off in a few different colours for £77 but I got mine from Infinity Cycles during one of their sales. The top washes well and dries very quickly, at £67 you cannot go wrong. I would never pay full rrp, just keep your eyes open for bargains.
RRP £110.00 and I paid £66.99 inc 48hr p&p from Infinity Cycles. Discount 39%.

CONSTRUCTION/FIT
It wears a classic, trim regular Fit, but now features a completely revamped raw-cut sleeve construction made with the same stretchy, ultra soft textile we use on our race jerseys. This stitch-free construction creates the smoothest transition possible between the fabric and your arms, with a stay-put hold while outstretched at the bars.
