Assos T.laalaLaiShort_S7 Lady Bib Short - Women's, The number of claimed firsts in Assos' history is astounding. First skinsuit (1976) first Lycra cycling shorts and bibs ('76) first multi-density chamois ('88 -- maybe our favorite "first") first leg grippers ('98) -- the list goes on. While they're not another industry first the T. llaLaiShorts_S7 Lady Bib Shorts do represent the first bibs in the women's S7 line. For those of us who have been clinging to our long-suffering T FI.

Specifically the material is breathable moisture-wicking and quick-drying. All of which are obvious and at this point just assumed features. The material's real shine lies in its compression which Assos engineered to provide an asymmetrically compressive hold that stretches more around your body rather than vertically. While unmediated all-way stretch is a nice element for general comfort in cycling shorts Assos' targeted direction-specific stretch ups the ante by balancing compression yield return and support for a cycling-specific application. This balance allows uninhibited pedaling while further reducing the fatiguing oscillations caused by road noise vibrating through the muscles of.
