Hi folks

Can anybody recommend this garment. What does it actually do, is it a wind stopper or roubaix type jacket. Is it shower proof??

Cheers

    Absolutely! Had one for the last 3 years and it has been brilliant. Some Assos owners prefer the Intermediate Evo but I think the E1 is a great autumn jacket. It is a wind stopper but not roubaix. It's not a shell for hard rain. The odd shower perhaps.

    Cheers.
    I had a look at one in the flesh and I didnt really dig the Gimp collar.
    Ive been using my Intermediate jersey a lot lately.

    Ive gone for a wind stopper sort shell in the end. cheers for the advice.
