WARMTH - The Mille GT Winter Jacket stands up to the quality I expect from Assos - excellent materials, form-fitting, and a seamless part of the ride. However, I find the "Winter" name a bit of a misnomer (depending where you ride!) The description accurately mentions increased airflow, but this higher permeability means I'm too cold riding in anything below 40F, even with a Winter LS Skinfoil. I've found a 3/3 Winter Skinfoil keeps me comfortable between 40-45F and a 2/3 Spring/Fall Skinfoil does the trick for 45-50F with this jacket.
STYLE - I purchased the Nationalred and love that Assos wrapped the red around the back for visibility - something I wish they did on more jackets. I don't love the garment care info on the inner collar though...it's an eyesore the second you vent even a little.
WISHES - Riding in cold winds usually leaves my lower face raw, and it would be awesome if Assos made an integrated face mask like the Ultraz Winter jacket (bonus points if they made it removable to swap between jackets!)
OVERALL - excellent jacket for a cooler temperature band in shoulder seasons, but not the most versatile.
Huge Assos fan. Was really looking forward to this jacket but unfortunately it is tiny.
I have several pair of Assos bib shorts, knickers and tights size xl. I also have several pair of their socks and gloves in the largest sizes and they just barely fit. Read that this jacket runs small so got the TIR and it is still too small. Too short and too tight in the arms, shoulders and chest. There is no way I could layer anything under it.
FWIW I am 6-2, 198, 48 chest, 36 waist.
Thanks for the sizing info, Matt. It's very helpful!
Similar. I bought a large based on the recommendation of Assos, and I could barely zip it. I'm 5'8" 184lbs, and I'm concerned xl will be too tight (or the sleeves way too long). My chest is around 42, waist 35"
2018 was my first year of road cycling and through recommendations, Assos is the gear I use and I have fallen in love with their products. After collecting summer gear, and slowly adding fall and winter products. This winter jacket is absolute $!! The fit is just how I want it, slim and fitted and the fit and finish to this thing is 2nd to none!
This morning I wore the jacket with an Assos early winter base layer. Morning temps were 35 with sun and by the end of the ride it was 50. Was comfortable the whole time with no issue. We were riding at a slow to moderate pace. At 50F, if we were getting after it I might have started to heat up a bit too much. So I would say max is 55F and if it's 50-55F a spring fall base layer would be best.
Great job Assos and to the guys at CC. Looking forward to more Assos gear!!
I was looking for a replacement for my old Habu jacket. I'm a little biased in that I only wear Assos. This jacket was my 1st choice. The new NEOS material is a little stiffer than the material of my Habu, but it's still amazingly comfortable when on. I actually like the fit of this jacket better, and I love the fact that it has cuffs (unlike the Habu). I'm usually a small in EVERYTHING Assos but since CC only had this color available in the M, I went ahead and ordered it. Amazingly, the fit is spot on, nice and snug but not tight and restrictive. I'm 5-7, weigh about 134, very slim build. According to the size chart, I should be a small, but I found the M to fit great. I rode in it for the 1st time this morning. Temps were around 48-50 for the duration of the ride, with winds of 15-18 mph, so the real feel was more like low 40's. Ten minutes into the ride (with some hills of course), I was extremely comfortable (with the Fall skinfoil underneath) and never over-heated nor felt cold for the entire ride. The jacket kept me warm while allowing my body to breathe. This new material is amazing in the wind. All in all, really happy I purchased it. And love the understated design of the "BlueBadge" color with the blue zip.
What are your thoughts for this jacket at say 30 F.. I have older Assos stuff , and wear layers...... would this work over another Assos jersey??? I am 6-1 163lbs. ... getting older and colder each year it seems ..
Hey Jon!
This jacket would be great at 30 degrees with the proper baselayer. Personally, I would probably opt for the slightly-heavier Mille GT Ultraz jacket below 30 degrees, especially if you run cold like I do. Check out the links below for the Ultraz, and for one of Assos's excellent winter baselayers.
