AssosMen's H.Milleshorts_S7(Return to Product Page)

I bought these after a lot of reading. These are very comfortable around the legs and waist. The pad is is better than the others I have tried at the same price point. Shorts are better also for quicker nature breaks. I own four pair of these. I wear a size medium. I am 5'11 150 pounds.

Ride 120-175 mi/week and have many kits and short combinations, but always like to keep 3 or 4 pairs of standard black shorts in the rotation. These are my first pair of Assos, and they are my immediate favorite due to comfort. Zero chafing with the semi-detached pad design.

Waist and thigh bands are fairly loose and expansive, which I don't need but don't mind either. Think they're designed to work with wide range of belly and thigh contours. These aren't Assos' high end performance shorts. They're perfect for rides up to 60 mi though, IMO.

Note that these run BIG. I first ordered L size due to Assos' reputation of things running tight (my waist is 32.5, wt 160). I swam in them and returned them for M, which are very comfortable.

For me personally I'm switching back to my tried and true peal izumi.

Assos shorts have a comfortable pad, but so do many others. The thigh grip is better than most, though, and the stretchy-ness of the fabric leads to a general feel of comfort and ease when riding. The waist stays comfortable over a full day as well. But real value comes in the durability of the fabric. I'm still using my first pair of these after a number of years (five), and the fabric has faded recently, but not failed. Every other pair of shorts or bibs I've had gets maybe two years before fabric transparency happens. These just keep going. An excellent value.

...I've owned in 17 years of riding! Finally I see why my cycling buddy swears by Assos. These are not Assos high-performance shorts, and I've balked at trying them before because of the $200 price. These are standard performance and I can envision doing up to 60 mi or so with them (longest ride so far has been 42 mi). But, wow, they have been comfortable-the chamois is broad enough that I don't ride any edges, and the slip feature means zero chafing. It doesn't hurt that they are on sale for $$$. So I just ordered 2 more pairs!

I'm 6-0, 160 lbs, and the M fits perfectly. I'm usually right between M and L, depending on mfr. These are a bit roomier than, say, Castelli or Pearl.

The Material of the short is nice soft quality, but lacks compression. The Pad is the Best I've used. It fits me just right. I often have irritation in the groin area, but not with this pad. The Short does run large. I wear a Medium in Pearl Izumi, and a Large in Castelli, I purchased a Medium in this short and it is bigger then a large in Castelli.

So far Assos shorts feel great. The front is designed to sit lower and felt odd when I first put these on for a ride. Once on the bike they are very comfortable. Bought on line and am very satisfied with the size based on what I learned from other reviews. Thanks for making a quality pair of shorts Assos!

I find the padding on this short is extremely bulky, to the point of not being comfortable. Lycra material is great quality. Waist elastic is too loose, so it folds when you ride. In general a not so great short from Assos. Between the bulky padding and the loose waist, I find myself choosing other shorts I own, wearing this one only for indoor cycling at home.

Very comfortable to wear for long and short rides in road and triathlon positions. Its rare to find a product that does all of the above.

Pros - The material is light weight, cool and overall comfortable with little pressure on the abs. For the most part the shorts feel like they have no seems at all.

Cons - The pad seems like a big thick diaper while I am walking but feels comfortable when on the bike. There are complaints about the lower leg gripping feeling loose, but I have large thighs and so they fit me just fine.

The shorts fit to size and are very comfortable.

What can I sat about Assos? They are the originators of high quality cycling shorts. They still maintain high quality.

I was told Assos shorts are the best for long ride comfort. They feel pretty good just wearing them, the pads felt a little thick, but over the course of a 120 mile ride, I didn't notice they were any better than the high priced other brands. I wish you could get their top padding in a short instead of just in their best bibs.

Simply the best, but I normally wear a size Large in the Assos bibshort (some models a medium), and the size small in this short fits me perfectly...very odd. The Medium was too large (baggie at the leg cuffs). I own two pair of these shorts, so it's not a fluke. FWIW, I'm 5'10 and 145lbs.

Have many pairs of these, as I prefer over bib shorts for comfort, and the pad is excellent. Only disappointment is the colour choice - black only, no leg stripes. Time for Assoss to add some stripes!

Ride almost every day and log about 300 miles weekly.

I'm a sucker for a sale and the price was great but the bunching of the chamois and the overall fit isn't for my 5'10 190lb. fireplug build

These are great shorts. The material is different than other cycling shorts I own. There are no panels, which means no seams. The chamois is better than any I've used and I couldn't tell the difference until I was in the saddle for long periods. It really makes a difference. The shorts seem a bit low around the waist, but they work and stay up.
