I have some Assos kit and I must say good stuff, my Prosline jacket is 10yrs old so was well worth the money.

Does anyone own the new 'emergency vest'? I like the idea of something that packs small and is reflective.
But I would like to hear from anyone who has one and what they think of it.

Many thanks in advance.

    looks a lot of money for a bra!
    All lies and jest..still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

    That is hilarious. But handy if you suffer from cold moobs I guess ?
  • Apparently the emergency vest "delivers micro-volume chest protection" according to Wiggle.

    Sounds excellent :roll:

    It's hopeless; like a teenie crop-top. Get a Sportful Hotpack - they pack down just as small, but actually work as a proper gilet. The idea of the Assos is to provide some protection from the wind on descents and some hi-viz if you get caught after dark, but it won't be much help if you've misjudged the weather. The Hotpack doesn't have any hi-viz, though, if that was the attraction.
  • Many thanks for the comments. The voice of reason does say its an expensive bra which would no doubt give me plenty of grief on a club run. I shall have a look at the Sportful Hotpack.

    Thanks again.
