With the idea of doing some winter riding, I'm looking for a good winter jacket for both training and commuting. I'd be riding down to about -12C (about 10F). I get warm, fast, so I was looking at the two above jackets (I know the Fugu is rated lower, but frankly I don't think I'll need it).
I was pretty single-minded about the Assos, but my LBS is having a sale on Descente jackets with windstopper-like fabric (likely last year's jackets). I didn't catch the model name, but the look and feel seems similar to the Airjack (which the LBS pointed out, but that's not surprising given that they don't carry Assos). My reticence around the Assos is that it's more than twice the price, and I'd be pretty pissed to fall and tear a jacket that nice!
Any thoughts or experience I can draw on?
