For those who prefer shorts over bib shorts, Assos offers the MILLE GT Half Short as a terrific performance option that features comfort, compression, and great fit. For 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 built with proven Assos Type.429 Titanio material, which is a lightly compressive textile with high elasticity. The use of which ensures a comfortable and consistent hold on your legs while pedaling. The quality and attention detail doesn't stop there.

The insert is the plush MILLE S7 EVO, equipped with 8mm of memory foam, a black 3D waffle topsheet, and has now been updated with the integrated kraterCooler system to boost breathability. Keeping all that managed properly during the variables and positions of rider ergonomics, Assos applies their goldenGate patented construction technology to augment insert performance by allowing it fluid and coordinated movement with the body while in or out of the saddle.

The make or break point of any standard-style short comes down to the waistband design, and the MILLE delivers. The designers applied breathable, supersoft Aerofit material at the front, using a fold-over 2-Layer construction that comfortably holds the shorts in place across the abdominals. At the rear section, the tall elastic hem mirrors the lower legs with superFlat grippers adding a secure, stay-put fit top and bottom. Reflective accent strips on the back of the legs add some safety through visibility.
