Assos has a reputation for making the best winter jackets out there - and it's well deserved. The legendary Swiss brand, which incidentally claims to be the first cycling brand to use Lycra in shorts, has always been at the forefront of clothing technology, using innovative fabrics and constructions that work perfectly for bike riding.

Assos garments are also built to last. The brand regularly states that it expects an Assos item to last five seasons, and in our experience that's indeed the case.

But - and it's a big but - you have to pay for all that R&D. Just as Assos clothing is about the best barrier against the weather you can buy, the price of it can be the very first barrier it presents.

That's why whenever Assos garments are discounted, those in the know are very quick to snap them up. So we've scoured the web for the best ones in the week leading up to Black Friday - scroll down to check out deals in both the USA and the UK.

We've reviewed a lot of Assos clothing over the years and we would never recommend anything we wouldn't wear ourselves.

If you're after more great cycling bargains, make sure you check out Cycling Weekly's Black Friday hub page, where we have an ever-growing list of the best deals around. We keep updating it as new ones arrive, so bookmark it and keep checking back.
