Assos SkinFoil NS Summer Base Layer - Men's for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

Felt like wearing a cheese grater. Not comfortable against the skin. Tried it one a realized there was no way I wanted to ride with it

Yes, I have some Assos Campionissimo Jersey's that have this mesh built-in, so I bought this SkinFoil to use with the jerseys that don't. It does help with moisture-wicking and temperature regulation. The funny thing about hot weather is that on long days, a sweaty cyclist can get rather chilly as the day cools off. Assos SkinFoils are great at retaining enough moisture that the fabric and voids create these nice little micro-climates that keep you warm. It seems counter-intuitive, but it works.

I dig the simplicity of Assos sizing -- especially as ridiculous as cycling kit sizing can be. It works very well to help regulate temperature (so far every ride with them exceeded 90 F), but I did not notice any more performance out of these -vs- Pearl Izumi baselayer tanks that I also use. Overall, I'd recommend if you concern is a solid fit -- if its price, these may not be the best choice.

Love the fit and Assos quality. Love cheaper Craft base layers as much, but the Assos feels like you are wearing something really special.
