CW takes the Assos UmaJack 851 jacket through its paces during their winter clothes test £215.99
ALMOST but not quite, sums up this Assos jacket. It's well shaped, but not quite as good as the Le Col or Giordana.
It's a good cold weather performer, but not quite at Le Col's level and even the pockets are just a bit off.
There are three, which is great, but the two you use all the time (at the sides) are zippered, making them a faff to use, especially as the zip pulls aren't huge - not great with the sort of gloves a jacket this warm would be worn with.
Verdict
It has lots of technical fabrics that all work very well but at the end of test rides, I'd always wish something was just a bit different.
