ASSOS Airblock Jacket

[EastCoast]

Anyone have this jacket, looking for some feedback?

Great jacket, expensive but has the best fit.
breathes very well and funky reflective material makes you look like a cyberdyne systems model T1000 morphing into a bike at night!!

great jacket, get one.

PS: I have the all black version which is really functional. deos'nt strain as easily and you can't use strong detergent soaps with it and hand wash is prefered.

i have lots of assos gear...really first rate

like the windblocker jacket but my lbs does not have my size...have a non-windblocker assos winter jersey and it is really warm. their windblocker vests are really nice as well

Great stuff, spendy (well...it *is* Swiss, right?) but it's great stuff. I don't have their jackets (Go Burley!!!) but I use a number of different kinds of their shorts/knickers.

ride carefully out there...we've got snow and ice everywhere...looks like we're going to have a cold winter/fall after a very hot summer!

Thanks for the link.

Currently I'm using a Land's End product:

It's their Marinac and is not expensive at all. It seems to work good at blocking wind, and is very comfortable, but it's not as breathable as I would like. I've never had good luck with gore-tex type products and breathability.

Of course the Marinac doesn't make you look like a Cyberdyne systems model T1000.....
