Review: Assos Dyora RS Spring Fall Jacket - expensive but excellent women’s softshell jacket/thermal jersey cycling assos_com
Tell us what the jacket is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Assos says:"For colder full-gas efforts in fall and spring, when a thermal SS jersey, arm warmers, and vest combo isn't cutting it, we developed a streamlined single-piece option with body-mapped protection and built-in ventilation. In most spring/fall conditions, pair it with a short-sleeve Spring Fall Skin Layer, In colder, more challenging conditions, pair it with a long-sleeve Spring Fall Skin Layer underneath and DYORA RS Spring Fall Aero Gilet over the top.
"Blurring the lines between thermal long-sleeve jersey and low-volume softshell, for serious year-round riders who demand aero protection in challenging spring/fall conditions."An elastic Push Pull exterior joins forces with the insulating Rhombus for the front panel. The sleeves are made with our SONIC textile, a highly elastic ribbed fabric that both molds to the arms and delivers light insulation with its brushed skin-facing side.
It's expensive, but it's a tricky one to compare as it's neither softshell nor thermal jersey, but a combination of both. Rapha's Women's Pro Team Winter Jacket is similar, if not as warm, and is £195; Castelli's Diagonal Women's Jersey FZ is a more traditional thermal jersey and at £125 is less than half the price of the Assos.Would you recommend the jacket to a friend?There is nothing else I can fault this jacket for except the price. It's excellent.
