Assos Mille Jersey Review

When it comes to cycling gear, Assos is a name that dominates all sectors. Assos provide an incredible array of cycling clothing - ranging from jerseys and jackets to socks and shorts.

Assos is a brand which makes it more than easy enough to get a full cycling get up from. Known for their meticulous attention to detail and high-quality materials, Assos has earned its place as a premium brand in the cycling world and we are proud to stock one of the largest collections of Assos clothing online.

In this post, we look at one of the best selling jerseys within the collection - the Assos Mille.

Design and Aesthetics - ASSOS Mille

At first glance, the Assos Mille Jersey looks fantastic. It has a sleek and aerodynamic design which perfectly suits fast road riding.

There’s a number of different options which allow you to choose to match the colour of your bike, or choose either a subtle design or a high visibility design for extra safety and security on the road.

There’s subtle branding that ensures that the jersey maintains a sophisticated look, suitable for serious cyclists who appreciate an understated design.

The jersey is constructed from a blend of high-performance fabrics which have been tried and tested on cycling jerseys for years. These materials have been chosen to provide maximum comfort and breathability, on the bike.

The main body is made from Assos' proprietary Type.157 Stripe Tex fabric, this material does an excellent job in wicking moisture away from the body - allowing you to stay comfortable and cool on the bike, whatever the weather.

The jersey also features an antibacterial treatment, which helps keep odours at bay, making it a great option for multi-day rides or those touring on bikes. The fabric has a silky feel against the skin, reducing the risk of chafing and discomfort, which is crucial for long-distance cyclists.

Assos Mille Jersey Fit

The Mille Jersey falls under Assos' "regularFit" category, which provides the perfect balance between performance and comfort. It offers a slightly more relaxed fit compared to their "racingFit" line, making it ideal for both competitive cyclists and casual riders - it’s a jersey which you feel comfortable on the bike, and also comfortable in a coffee shop at the end of a ride!

The jersey features a full-length zip that allows for easy ventilation adjustments on the go. The sleeves are constructed using a raglan cut, which provides better freedom of movement and a comfortable fit around the shoulders. The back of the jersey includes three decent pockets, perfect for storing essentials like energy bars and a phone.

Assos Mille First Impressions

In terms of performance, the Assos Mille Jersey did not disappoint when we took it out.

The fabric's excellent breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities ensure that you remain cool and dry, even during hard going rides. The fit is snug but not restrictive, allowing for aerodynamic performance without compromising comfort and confidence - it’s a jersey which does not leave you feeling too self conscious.

The jersey’s durability is also worth mentioning. Even after multiple washes, the fabric retains its shape and colour.
