My Winter Cycling Assos Kit

[@michaelpons9745]

Hey Mitch, thanks for a great breakdown and context. I’m currently staring my Assos shopping cart full of winter gear, which includes these items among many others. With these being so pricey, it’s nice to get it right the first time.

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

You’re right! If you have any specific questions, message me on IG any time.

[@JDirom]

Bringing the sweater game I see. HAAABUUUUU!

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

Haha!

[@henrynysschens3981]

Great but expensive jacket Mitch! I have the normal ultra and also awesome

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

Oh really? I’ve wanted it… just very pricey as well.

[@lomilomi3535]

nice review.. looking at the jodah myself....problem is I have the ultras evo winter wihch is total luxury...

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

The more options the better if you can afford it. If not, load up on different base layers to extend the range of certain gear :)

[@Technotranceism]

Doubt I will need a full winter kit here in Florida. I do carry some spring fall gear, but the majority is summer gear. Florida is mostly hot as can be.

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

Lucky! Wanna trade?

[@Technotranceism]

Let's just say my summer kit, is paper thin.

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

@bradleeparker4612 haha!

[@samd6405]

Can you do a video like this for spring/fall kit? What do you carry for emergency rain protection on possible rain rides? Full on Assos RS rain jacket, vest or alley cat?

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

Definitely in the fall. Alley cat is the go to shell, unless I’m starting the ride in the cold or rain, then it’s the Rs jacket.

[@samd6405]

@@MitchOnTwoWheels thank-you! How do you use the RS rain vest (I thought you reviewed it, maybe not). I’m trying to build up my Assos riding kit wisely, with as little overlapping gear.

[@samd6405]

@@MitchOnTwoWheels great, will be looking forward to that fall video!

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

@@samd6405 I don't use it often... You're probably better off with a proper rain jacket.

[@samd6405]

@@MitchOnTwoWheels right, trying to figure out the use case of the RS rain vest over the RS spring Gillet and RS jacket. Seems very specialized…

[@TheLankyCyclist]

Need more Canadians reviewing winter cycling gear. Can actually speak with authority.

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

Watching me wear winter kit in the summer might turn some people off 😂

[@sleepdeprived9181]

It can be, but what is warm to them maybe cold to some.

[@TimboCruz]

Do you live in Calgary??

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

Yup. But this was filmed in Oct or Nov

[@TimboCruz]

Nice! I’m trying to break into cycling KZbin too. Let’s meet up one day, looks like you’re over by fish creek?
