Assos Cycling Shorts Information

Usually, people don’t use comfort as an excuse to dress in their finest. How many times have you heard, “Oh, I wouldn’t wear these four-inch heels, but they are just so comfortable,?" Not many. However, with Assos cycling apparel, style and superior comfort go hand in hand. In no place is this more apparent than in Assos cycling shorts.

Assos chamois inserts have a two-layer design, with each piece made of high density memory foam. The padding next to your skin contours to your shape and does not shift when you are dancing on the pedals. It is extremely soft, stretchy, and dimpled for better ventilation. The second layer reduces road vibrations. Durable and less stretchy fabric panels around the chamois area stabilize the insert, and also help to prevent saddle-induced fabric abrasions on the inner thighs. Supportive fabric panels stitched together with flat-lock seams are contoured to the shape of your muscles to provide light compression. The front fabric panel in men’s Assos shorts has a high degree of stretch to reduce pressure on the crotchal region.

Assos takes great lengths to make all details as comfortable next to your skin as possible. Their bike shorts have a wide, flat, elastic-free waistband in the front, which is more breathable than a thick drawstring and will not dig into your stomach. Women’s Assos shorts have a half-leg gripper that keeps the hem in place on the thighs, but will not cause the hated “sausage leg” look. Even the tags are sewn to the outside of the garment so they do not rub.

When you try on your first pair of Assos shorts, you might notice that the fabric puckers and the fit looks a little off. However, as soon as you get on the bike, all of the seams will smooth out and lie flat next to your skin. Assos designs their garments to contour perfectly when in the cycling position. To ensure that the material is compressive and that the chamois does not chafe your skin, it is important to get the right size.

Let’s face it: Assos clothing is pretty hot! The designs are understated and classy, the fabric panels make you look good, and the shorts come in several colors that pop when paired with a matching Assos jersey. The great looks are matched in perfection by the most comfortable chamois on the market and a perfectly tailored fit.
