Description Since 2000, the F.I. 13 S2 Bib Short from Assos stood as the apex of cost is no object comfort, performance, and quality in a cycling short. Now, the bar has been set even higher with the introduction of the S5 generation of the F.I. 13. It features 17% decreased weight and volume and the insert provides 23% less genital pressure over the previous S2 short. The fabric offers 35% greater breathability and 18% greater muscle compression compared to the previous A360 fabric.
The bibs feature a lightweight carbon mesh that reduces static. A430 fabric is used on the outer panels for comfort and muscle compression and A431 fabric on the inner thighs to help keep the chamois in place and for durability. The front has a high elasticity fabric to reduce pressure on the genitals and keep them in place. AEPD design contours the short for riding position, so don't get worried if the short and bibs pull a little strange when standing upright. The F.I. 13 chamois utilizes separate layers placing softer layer next to the skin that compresses less and a dimpled layer for ventilation. Silicon leg grippers with one leg hem in black and one in silver. As an added bonus, each short includes a small bottle of Active Wear Cleanser, a small jar of Chamois Creme and a wash bag. Color: Black.

Its hard to imagine spending 300 dollars on cycling shorts. But if you like me and spend hours at a time in them you want to be as comfortable as possible. The shorts have completely even compression, the padding rocks, and you hardly know your in cycling shorts. Highly reccomend these shorts!

Extremely comfortable on long rides

I ride around 150-200 miles per week with a century ride about every month. I tried a bunch of the other shorts, but finally forked over the $$ for Assos and have never regretted it. I've gotten over a years riding out of one pair of shorts and they still look like new.
