Assos Mille GT Spring Fall LS jersey

£120, assos.com

Autumn is an unusual time of year for temperature variation. Winter is always cold and summer mostly warm, but autumn can see you start an early-morning ride with the mercury down at single digits only for it to be positively balmy on the final stretch home. That means I often want jerseys that offer coverage without the bulk, and in that respect the Mille GT LS jersey fits the bill. The long sleeves and light fleecing of Assos’s RX fabric at the front of the jersey keeps the chill at bay initially, while the breathable Type.157 Stripe fabric used on the back panel prevents me overheating once I’ve worked up a sweat.
