The Assos chamois creme increases comfort, especially on long hot and humid summer rides. Because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties, it protects against saddle sores and keeps the skin pleasantly cool. Apply directly to the skin in the friction areas (not for use on mucous membranes) before each bike. Used by many professionals regardless of the brand of the shorts. Be sure to put it in your bike bag. Used by many professionals regardless of the brand of the shorts. Be sure to put it in your bike bag.
