Am I the only person that finds Assos stuff ugly?

That Assos model always has large sunglasses on. I find their gear a bit pricey, but have seen some jerseys & bibs on fellow cyclists that look good quality-wise.

Check Zimco out and see what you think. They may not be your cup of tea but never hurts to check a company out. I actually found them on E-Bay and ordered a bib short and was hooked. Now I order from their web site if I don't want to bid.

I do not dislike the cut or fit (in fact, I quite like them). But when it comes to the design of the jersey not related to cut/shape, I think they range from boring to great looking. With the vast majority of the gear being boring.
The brand is very uncommon in my country. I think it is very expensive as well.

I've been on a number of winter group rides where several of us were all wearing Assos Airjack 861s or Fugujacks, and the running joke always seems to be "We look like we're members of the away-team on Star Trek: The Next Generation!"
