Assos

This is my go-to chamois cream. I used to use stuff like diaper rash cream, but it was clogging my chamois up and ruining it, so I had switched to the Assos stuff. It works well, and always washes out.

I would say it doesn't last the entirety of a long ride (over 4 hours), and not in the hottest of hot weather, but I don't think anything does honestly.

And it seems expensive. I guess you have to pay somehow, otherwise you get cheap diaper rash cream, but wreck your shorts. Pick your evil.

A little goes a long way so you don't need to use much. I go through a little more than a tube per year, which equals about 200 applications per tube for me.

It will help minor abrasions heal almost completely overnight so you can go at it again. This is one essential item in my saddle sore prevention kit I cannot live without. I've unfortunately had multiple problems with saddle sores, which has included removal by surgery. While using this doesn't guarantee they won't return, I haven't had any issues since I started using this product two years ago.

I was looking for some additional gloves and since I've found good quality and fit with Assos I decided to try these because i wanted a slip-on with some palm padding. Not having to worry about velcro snagging on sun sleeves is great. I was worried the amount of palm padding was too little but it is just right and in the right places. The mesh doesn't let the hands get warm on those sunny days. They are not the easiest to remove but my Castelli gloves with velcro aren't the easiest to take off either. Do wish that Assos offered these in more color choices.

Own several pair of these. Really like the wide but flexible and comfortable waist. Love the level of compression and the fact that the leg grippers have no silicone or rubber, yet grips great. The chamois has "wings" that float (not sewn down) and I'm not a fan of these. The padding level is okay, some other brands have better amount of padding. I feel the quality is top-notch and having a rubber logo keeps it from getting washed away over time.
