Assos polarizes. As early as 1976, company founder Toni Maier-Moussa caused a stir with the world's first carbon wheel - especially since he achieved something with the association that even aerospace engineers were concerned about at the time. He was also a step ahead of his time just two years later when the world's first spandex pant for cyclists saw the light of day. Since then, Assos products have revolutionized the clothing market. And still do. One of the main reasons that ensure the reputation of the Swiss is the years of development work invested in the individual production series and their final appearance.
Also the white ones according to the season iJ.shaqUno.6 wants to be in no way inferior and comes with a multitude of features. The materials used in the jacket all come from the company's own development laboratory in Lugano. The aim of the development was to create a winter jacket that meets the needs of the wearer on the bike. And Assos has also succeeded in doing this with the chosen mix of polyamide, polyurethane and elastane. Only putting on the jacket, which is otherwise very well tailored, causes some problems. Because the outer, quite thin fabric panel of the rather tight-fitting sleeves is only sewn to the warming inner panels at the cuffs, you always have to readjust the fit of the jacket a bit.
Behind this construction hides the so-called Natural Air Chamber Body Heat Regulating System, a system that is supposed to provide better insulation from the cold. In addition, Assos consistently uses comfortable materials on the inside of the jacket, while the materials used on the outside serve as pure protection, as a kind of Bodyguard serve. Depending on the daily temperatures, it is sufficient to wear a suitable functional undershirt under the iJ.shaqUno.6 to wear.
A wide, easy-closing zipper is worked into the jacket at the front, which opens into a small garage at the neck. This effectively prevents the zipper from rubbing against the neck. There are three pockets on the back with a reflective application on the left side.
//Conclusion
iJ.shaqUno.6 Assos has one stylish winter jacket in the range, which is intended not least to appeal to those drivers who, in addition to function, also value sophisticated design. In action, it showed its comfortable side. It does take some time to put on the jacket due to the construction, which only refers to aligning the sleeves. On the bike offers the iJ.shaqUno.6 but with the comfort you would expect from a Swiss product. In terms of cold insulation, it is a bank. Due to the body-hugging cut, the jacket fits snugly on the upper body, even when bent over, without slipping.
