I bought this jersey on sale, but was also drawn to the colors and unique graphics. I am 6' 2" with a medium 205lb build, and bought the XL based on the size chart present. The jersey fits well in the standing position, but when on the bar tops and especially in drops, the top portion of the jersey bunches up / folds over, and flaps in the wind unless I repeatedly pull the waist back down. There is very little stretch in this jersey so any loose material is not taken up when in a riding position. I guess this is what is meant by the classic regular fit as described in the product description. That said, maybe I should stick to stretchy aero jerseys for that snug fit. Can't speak to the jersey's ability to stay cool in hot weather, but will test it out. While not the best fitting jersey I have, it will still have a place in my jersey rotation because it looks great :)
Looking to add some Assos gear to the closet. Bought this on sale and liked the color (more beige than gold). I'm 6'2" and currently 205lbs with a medium torso and massive legs :) When wearing a thin base layer, the XL fits like an aero jersey should, stretchy & close to the body, but not restrictive. The bottom of the jersey rests at the top of the waist when standing and is comfortable with no flapping fabric anywhere when rolling at speed. The raw-cut sleeves fit well and are long enough, they are also easy to enter when exiting or entering this slightly delicate jersey. Only downside with the fit is that it doesn't hide the extra lbs from the post ride IPAs (no aero jersey does so can't complain here).
I've been out on a few 80F rides and felt cool the entire time. Can't wait to try this jersey out on the 100+F rides I do here in Los Angeles. I would definitely buy again, even at full price. I just wish Assos offered this jersey in more colors!
I never thought of my feet as being larger than average until I tried to find MTB flat-pedal shoes. Six years later and I'm still searching for an MTB shoe that isn't too narrow. I added these socks to get free shipping on an order only to find out that bicycle socks are also super-tight. Does bicycling attract mostly people with narrow feet and twiggy ankles?
Seems like the fabric is pretty good, but I doubt that I'll ever wear them often enough to wear them out. I would not buy these again.
Temperature comfort is variable and subjective. While one rider can ride in shorts another (me) needs something warmer. I tend to prefer starting a ride a little light dressed and slightly uncomfortable, knowing once I warm up in a few miles I'm fine. So I've worn these from low 50 F down to 28 F and they are comfortable across that range. Temperature comfort without restricting motion.
I ride 150-200 miles per week so they get plenty of exposure time for a fair test. As construction, workmanship and seat padding comfort go, Assos are second to none in my experience. Well worth the premium price.
