With not one irritating seam and a female specific S7 chamois that’s a perfect balance of padding and flexibility, Assos are at the top of its game with the first pair of women’s S7 bib shorts. When on, the central bib element held the shorts securely, without compressing my shoulders. A mesh insert made from propriatory Assos ‘type.221 fabric, at the back of the bib not only aids the breathability, but also helps give the straps structure, adding to the aero like tight fit.
