'The price is obscene, but this is the best jacket I've ever tested:' The £630 Assos Equipe RS Johdah Ultraz S11

Assos EQUIPE RS Johdah Ultraz Winter Jacket S11.

The previous Assos Equipe RS Johdah jacket (the S9 Targa) set a new standard for the best winter cycling jackets, and also a new price threshold at £635. This updated version, as S11 states the next generation of Equipe range from Assos, drops the price fractionally to £630 / $810, and builds on the copious amounts of proprietary technology that made the S9 such a force.
