Assos for the win, I needed a new pair of bibshorts, saw Sigma had my favourite shorts at a very good price so got them bought. After trying a few different brands, my downstair parts seem happier ensconced in an Assos chamois.
Product Details
Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9
The Equipe RS S9 Targa Bib Short is a WorldTour level option that provides fantastic comfort and wicking coupled with Assos’ renowned quality and fit. Type.441 and Ossidia material provide a comfortable and gently compressive feel whilst also being hardwearing and quick-drying. The short is held in place by A-Lock Engineering, with the rollBar bib straps extending down the back of the short to better stabilise the pad, keeping it in place both in and out of the saddle. Silicone-free leg grippers prevent the short from riding up uncomfortably, keeping tan lines sharp too.
The multi-layered seat pad combines shock absorption, airflow and moisture management. A 9mm compressive foam with 3D waffle overlay provides comfort for long days in the saddle, topped off with Sundeck Superlight fabric with Whirlkrater perforations that move any moisture away from the skin and allow for increased airflow. The pad is attached to the short using Assos’ goldenGate design, so that the stitching holds the front and rear of the pad in place but allows the pad to move with the body rather than rubbing against it for less irritation.

About Assos
Swiss precision. Half a century of obsession.
Assos of Switzerland was founded in 1976 by Toni Maier-Moussa with a single ambition: reinvent cycling apparel from the inside out. The Lycra cycling short, modern bibs, the chamois as we know it — all began here. Half a century later, the obsession with precision and ride feel hasn't moved an inch.
Assos still designs and engineers every piece in Switzerland. The brand operates its own laboratory, its own development pool of test riders, and its own assembly line for the most demanding garments in the range.
