What temperature range is this good for?

Looking for a vesatile top for spring commutes and can't decide between this and the Blok micro-roubaix.

The Blok micro is simply a roubaix jersey. On its own you'd be cold in that in cold temperatures.

The ASV is an interesting one. I'm about to write a review of my wife's Blok Roubaix Windstopper. That's called a jacket whereas the ASV is called a jersey. I'd say it's a lot more jacket like.

Should be very good for spring commutes but if it's warm you may actually get too hot!

Be careful with sizing. It has quite long arms (the ASV). For more versatility you might like to look at the Aeron Roubaix Jersey and Aeron Lightweight Gilet.

Cool. Thanks for the really helpful reply.

I have a Giordano bodyclone for when the temperature really drops.

I'm looking for something for mornings like today, 5 degrees-ish. My commute in is the only chance I get to train so layer up as it's still chilly but soon overheat.

I have a Rapha windproof jacket but still haven't found what to pair it with.

After looking at your review I think the Aeron roubaix paired with a Capo gillet I have may be the way to go.

Should be a good choice. I'm about to buy another of the Aeron jerseys, black one for spring. They work really well with the Gilets. Good pairing. You may be initially cold on the arms but you'll soon warm up. It should last longer into the spring as well. The ASV jersey would boil you on a 10 degree commute home.

I have the micro blok roubaix and with a merino base layer I've been out in 3 degrees with no issue. Then I'm a Lardy & run hot while riding

Many thanks. Have purchase the seamless base layer which looks a steal for a tenner and an Aeron Roubaix.

Will let you know how I get on.
