This invention led professional teams to wear ASSOS shorts during the Tour de France, and to date ASSOS is proud to have contributed to more than 350 gold medals at World Championships and Olympic Games. ASSOS works side by side with the suppliers and the internal test team to produce fabrics that are optimally tailored to the needs of the drivers.
