Assos Ss.rallytrekkingJersey_evo7 + Base Layer - Men's reviews and deals for sale

Swiss engineered but no true identity

This is a well thought out (or not!) jersey for MTB, but I'm not sure it fits in any neat category. As usual, the quality from Assos is high (I would say, the Best!). For those who do XC, this jersey is familiar because it is a body tight fit (but not race fit, if you know what I mean). But this jersey is designed for long treks (for me, anything more than 30 miles) and the mesh… read more panels, designed both to vent and to provide padding, in the shoulders and back is perfect for someone wearing a backpack. The quality of the mesh is nothing short of high craftsmanship. I hate to say it, but it's not the perfect XC jersey or the perfect trail jersey. For XC or trail riding, the front panel is not as breathable as I would like. Just for XC riding, it is a heavy jersey for summer riding. However, it is marketed as a trail jersey, and I think it is the Porsche of trail jerseys, but do people who ride trails on their heavy full suspension bikes want to go fast (other than downhill, that is). I often see them taking their time getting to the top and a T-shirt type loose fitting jersey is fine for that. Well, what this jersey appears to be is for an XC rider who wants to ride the downcountry (and everything else) fast wearing a backpack. That's not me because I have no need to wear a backpack riding my XC MTB even for a 30 miles jaunt. But I do appreciate the jersey and it's high quality and craftmanship. It also comes with a summer base layer which really adds value to this product. Sometimes you can over-think and over-engineer a product and miss the big picture as is the case with this jersey. Lately, I have found some use for this jersey in the fall/spr with a gilet or jacket due to the ventilation in the back.

MTB XC Jersey,

It’s hard to make a MTB Jersey that does it all. This is not your T shirt, rad loose fit freeride Jersey. I have a few other Assos road jersey & I went up 1- 2 size because I often forget the pack & stuff pockets with gear, go for a 2 hour MTB ride. Yes, I want to be able to stand up and the shoulders fit large but body still fits tight, a bit of a looser cut (as I went from L… read more to XLR) or sure. Also do all day, epics with pack, pump, phone, tools, tube, full water & a sandwich, rain shell etc. etc This is with out question, a XC Jersey that has great ventilation and the material is not feather light but keeps you cool into the F90s. I’ll go to this on the scorchers & it does the job. It’s a tight, roady in appearance jersey but Assos consistency delivers a race fit no matter what. Bottom line: Pricy but worth every damn penny. 6’- 168 lbs- 40/42 jacket

Craftsmanship

Not your normal jersey. This piece is made up of 25 different panels and 6 different textiles, which delivers the perfect design and mobility. The Assos design really stands out once in the riding position. This fit is similar to the old Mangussta or the new Cento and Equipe. I sized the same in them all with very similar fit. It is built with medium weight material, but has thicker… read more material on the shoulders for long days in the saddle with a hydration pack. The back of the jersey is made up of highly breathable mesh that allows for maximum ventilation€,which was questionable when I pulled it out of the box...not going to lie. NS.SKINFOIL_SUMMER_S7 that's included is a great addition. Great jersey on and off the road, 3 pockets in the back w/ a zipper and a reflection strip. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions on these or any other Assos products.

Perfect mountain biking jersey

I had very high expectations for Assos when I heard that they'd be entering into the mountain bike apparel game. My expectations were exceeeded with this jersey! The mesh ventilation the back and shoulders of this jersey is great. Especially for wearing a pack. The fit is tight and race-oriented; but does fit slightly looser than the typical Assos road jerseys. Paired with… read more the base layer that is provided, this is my favorite XC oriented mountain jersey!
