Seven years after introducing the first elastic insert in cycling shorts Assos now introduces the S5 line for even greater comfort and performance. The S5 features new A.430 fabric for muscle support, lighter weight, and better breathability and moisture transfer. A431 fabric is used on the inner thigh for greater durability and to hold the chamois better in place. The FI. Uno uses the same materials and technologies as the higher priced Assos shorts but with a bit less complexity in the lines, seams, and insert. It is touted as an all-around short which works well for training as well as racing. High density memory foam insert is elastic to form to the body. Insert is dimpled for greater heat dispersion. Waist uses a stretchier spandex for freedom of movement and less abdomen pressure with a firmer spandex in the rear for support. Welded leg grippers. 6 panels. Color: Black. Wash bag included.

if you are going to go on long rides treat yourself to these shorts.
I use these shorts for longer rides (50-100 miles). You have to ask your self how much your rear end is worth? If the answer is to the cost of these, then here is your answer.
