Assos Equipe R Habu Winter Jacket S11 Review: An utterly sublime winter jacket for those looking to stay aero in the cold

The Assos winter jacket range is a little difficult to decipher. The names of the products are extraordinarily long in some cases, and each product range has some hard-to-define subcategories. In essence, you have ‘Equipe’, the racing line, and ‘Mille’, the endurance line, but as it’s Assos it’s still relatively racy. The ‘R’ denotes that it’s racing oriented, but not pro spec – for that you’d need ‘RS’. 

This winter I’ve been testing out the Assos Equipe R Habu Winter Jacket S11 as part of my curation of my guide to the best winter cycling jackets, alongside the mind-blowingly expensive Equipe RS Jodah Winter Jacket S9 Targa, a £636 feat of textile engineering, but likely out of consideration for many of you, thanks to the RRP.
