I know its outrageously priced, but I fancy one for the Autumn. I have an Airjack 851 and very nice it is too. I wondered if anyone uses an element one and could say whether they are happy with it or would they choose something else, given the chance?

Any feedback is gratefully recieved.

Cheers

    Had my blue one for the past 4 or so years. Love it, superb for the autumn coming up ........ and actually I have worn it in cold winter with a good base layer before I got an Airjack, but If I were buying another jacket of the same ilk I would go for the same again quite honestly.

    Some people compare the intermediate Evo to the E1 which is wrong because the Element One is a jacket and the Evo a jersey, according to Assos .....

    It's Assos and a top bit of kit (with a pervy bit added). I have the black one and it's quite versatile.

    Thanks folks. Is it warm enough for a winters day or purely Autumn territory?

    One of those items (like the EVO jersey) that you adapt for the weather. Cold day have a thicker base layer and a gilet or rain jkt on (might be too warm) and short sleeved base for autumn. The jkt is that fleece Roubaix material

    Used mine for 1st time today. 2 degrees. Partnered with 180 merino base layer and Element Zero Gilet.

    Just awesome really. Just works, fits as it should.

    Yes I look like a porn star but that's why I wear the Element Zero over it ;)
