Assos Spring Fall SS Base Layer

 

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
A base layer delivering excellent thermoregulation, moisture-wicking, and a comfortable, barely-there fit.
85€

Pros:

  • Supreme thermoregulation! Maintains warmth for extended periods and prevents overheating as temperatures rise.
  • Wide usable temperature range when paired with different outer layers.
  • Exceptional moisture management.
  • Very soft and comfortable on the skin.
  • Perfect next-to-skin fit – barely noticeable during wear.
  • Very durable, showing no signs of wear after two seasons.

Cons:

  • High price point (though, in my opinion, worth it due to frequent use throughout fall and spring).

Favorite Use Cases:

  • Chilly summer days, early fall, and late spring rides when paired with a standard short sleeve jersey.
  • Ideal for layering under a short sleeve jersey when starting rides in cool mornings. Pair with arm warmers, then remove them later without the base layer causing overheating.
  • Versatile for a range of temperatures (approximately 10°C to 18°C) when combined with different long sleeve jerseys and jackets.
  • Also suitable for running in the winter for extra warmth under a hoodie or jacket.

Rapha Men’s Cotton T-Shirt Review: Stylish, Comfortable, but a Bit Pricey

  ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ The Rapha Men’s Cotton T-Shirt delivers on style and comfort with a relaxed yet cool fit that aligns with current trends. It’s not meant to be slim-fit, and the cut feels casual and modern. Compared to previous Rapha Logo T-shirts, the sizing is now more consistent after the “size shift” last year. I used to wear an M in their older shirts, but now size S fits perfectly. The fit is similar to the older Logo T-shirts but slightly more boxy, with noticeably wider sleeves, which I think is clear in the comparison photos. Fabric and Comfort The fabric remains one of Rapha’s strong suits, with soft organic cotton that feels high-quality. Although it’s a bit thinner compared to their older shirts, the difference isn’t drastic—certainly not as significant as with the new Cotton Hoodie. The T-shirt is very comfortable, offering the softness and durability I expect from Rapha products. Design and Aesthetics I personally like the updated design. The older Logo T-shirts had a mo...

Rapha Men’s Cotton Hoodie Review: Disappointing Quality and Fit

⭐️ ⭐️  The Rapha Men’s Cotton Hoodie was something I had high hopes for, but unfortunately, it left me disappointed. This hoodie is supposed to have an oversized fit, but in reality, it just feels too large and baggy. I've always been a size M in Rapha’s men’s clothing, but things have changed over the past year. While their cycling jerseys still fit fine in M, I’ve had to size down for their off-bike clothing. Normally, sizing down to an S works for me, but this hoodie has a really awkward fit even in size S, as you can see in the pictures. The sleeves are excessively long and super baggy under the arms. The overall length is also too much, making the whole fit feel off. From the same Rapha Cotton Line, I own two t-shirts in size S, and they fit as they should—unlike this hoodie. The inconsistency is frustrating, especially for a brand that usually nails its fit across different product ranges. The value is terrible. Paying €110 for this hoodie is out of the question, but even at ...
