With an impressively simple design betraying the thousands of hours of engineering that are the hallmark of any Assos product, the H.milleShorts s7 merit the accolades extolling them as the best non-bib shorts in the world. The 3-layer chamois pad boasts an abrasion resistant top layer, a perforated foam middle layer to reduce weight and improve breathability, and a dense, memory foam bottom layer that absorbs shock and fills in the gap between the rider’s anatomy and the chamois when weight shifts or pedaling position changes. The short’s elastic material, with its high % of spandex, results in increased compression properties to support muscle elongation and stabilize movements, while an antibacterial treatment reduces fabric aging and minimizes odor. Finally, all this tech is wrapped in a wind tunnel perfected, olympian tested, anatomical pattern design short touting an absolute minimum amount of seams for ultimate comfort.
