The first thing is material. Looking at what Assos Equipe RS Rain Jacket EVO is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Jackets – Cycle. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Jackets – Cycle. Brands like Assos are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Jackets – Cycle category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

Cycling in the rain becomes a pleasure, not a pain. Stormproof ProtectionCycling in the rain can be grim if you’re battling both a flappy rain jacket and the elements.

The 3-layer Schloss Tex is highly waterproof and exceptionally breathable so you remain dry, protected from the rain outside and preventing sweat build-up inside. A DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment and strategically taped seams ensure no water can seep in while a dropped tail, with silicone application, keeps off tyre spray. Efficiently AerodynamicWith the elements kept at bay, next comes the aero gains. Asso applies their racingFit tailoring to the RS Evo and combined with its two-way stretch fabric you’ll enjoy race-jersey-like performance through the air. Less drag equals saved energy and more efficient progress towards your destination. If you find you need to let in cool air during more intense efforts, then the glove-friendly two-way zipper allows you to ventilate from the top or the bottom and rear pocket slots also act as exhaust ports to let warm, humid air out.Intense race efforts and high-paced training rides in the rain will hold no fear when you pull on the brilliantly effective Equipe RS Rain Jacket EVO.
