In the Northern Hemisphere at least, summer temperatures have finally let go and we find ourselves digging out our winter kit once again. The Assos IJ.Habu5 jacket is perfect for these autumn days where the temperatures have dropped, but the full winter elements are not yet in effect.
Specifically designed to be worn with an Assos baselayer, the IJ.Habu5 jacket is optimised for early winter temperatures of 6-12 degrees Celsius, although any long sleeve winter baselayer or light jersey provides effective layering. StratagonLight wind blocking material around the collar, chest and front of the arms gives optimal protection from the colder air, whilst the remainder of the jacket is constructed with insulating Assos RXQ material.

The IJ.Habu5 is ideal for the cold, dry and blustery days it is designed for, but will not give any protection when the wet weather turns up. An elasticated waistband with silicone gripper tabs ensures a snug fit around the waist.
The jacket offers a slim cut, but whilst the wind blocking material offers some give we would definitely recommend trying on before buying as there isn’t a huge amount of stretch. Despite this, the eighteen panel construction of the jacket results in an ergonomic and comfortable fit whilst riding. Get your sizing right with this jacket and the fit is near perfect.
