Assos Mille GT Half Shorts

From Assos:

The MILLE GT Half Shorts bring total comfort to every ride, courtesy of their smooth-wrap waistband, soft textiles, and proven insert design.

Description:

Short rides, big rides, indoor training, and everything in between—the MILLE GT Half Shorts are willing and able. To live up to their reputation of providing long-distance comfort, they’ve been treated with our proven Type.429 Titanio material, which is a lightly compressive textile with high elasticity, ensuring a comfortable and consistent hold on your legs while pedaling. The insert is our plush MILLE EVO, equipped with 8mm of memory foam, a black 3D waffle topsheet, and now updated with our kraterCooler system to boost breathability.

The make or break point of any bib-less short comes down to the waistband design, and the MILLE delivers. We applied our breathable, supersoft Aerofit material at the front, using a fold-over construction that comfortably holds the shorts in place across the abdominals. At the rear section, our tall elastic hem mirrors the superFlat grippers at the lower legs, adding a secure, stay-put fit. In terms of colorways, the rich caleumBlue now complements the blackSeries, giving you a few more options to pair with your additional layers.

Technology:

Type.429 Titanio: A comfortable, lightly compressive textile, engineered with expertise that uses a 4-way stretch to maximize the elasticity of the fabric.

Aerofit: An ultrasoft warp-knit applied to the waist, woven with an open structure for maximum ventilation and featuring high elasticity plus built-in odorControl.

MILLE S7 EVO: The MILLE elastic interface insert, evolved. New black colorway, and our proven 8mm of memory foam, this insert is nestled at the intersection between comfort and performance.

kraterCooler: System of small holes in the front of the insert that increases airflow so that your sensitive areas are kept cooler.

3D waffle: A patented, three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.

goldenGate: A patented technology that interrupts the stitching along both of the insert’s side panels, allowing a more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area.

superFlat grippers: Ultra minimal grippers with optimal stretch return to secure the shorts in place without any excessive pressure.

2L Waist: Fold-over front panel design creates a smooth, pressure-free transition between the body and fabric.

Reflective Accents: Small strips placed on the backs of the legs for added visibility.

regularFit: Optimized for total comfort in the riding position, with a more relaxed cut than our second-skin racingFit.

Composition: 80%PA, 20%EA
