Winter riding demands the very best from kit, needing to keep us warm (but not too warm), dry, and protected. Finding a jacket that can do all of those things is often a challenge, with some level of trade off compromising comfort. This isn’t the case with the Assos Uma GT Winter Jacket Evo, which, despite its lightweight and streamlined design, holds its own as one of the best winter cycling jackets.
I tested both the Uma GT Winter Jacket Evo and the Assos Uma Ultraz Winter Jacket Evo jackets, both part of the Uma range for long distance, deep winter comfort (complimenting the men’s Mille range). As both are described as the perfect winter jacket and priced similarly (the Ultraz is £300), what exactly is the difference between the two, and which one is better for your style of riding?
