Assos Chamois Crème is the gold standard when it comes to protective cycling creams. Though many pretenders have come on the market in the past several years, the Assos Chamois Crème remains the chamois spread of choice for endless numbers of pros that are willing to pay for it out of their own pocket. Packaged in its by now-iconic white tub, the cream itself has a clean, cool feel to it, with a consistency of almond butter. It is easy to spread either directly on your undercarriage or onto your chamois. It feels cool without tingling. Preventing inflammation, Assos cream has antibacterial properties to keep you from developing painful saddle sores. It does not have an oily texture, which means that there is no unpleasant residue either on your fingers after you spread it, or leftover on your pad after the ride. Assos does not include witch hazel or parabens in their ingredients in an effort to keep the cream safe and free from causing skin rashes, as both ingredients have been tied to issues with skin irritations and even questions of carcinogenic concerns. Instead, Assos has formulated the cream to provide the cooling goodness you expect from a chamois cream along with the long-lasting protection you pray for. Long rides or short, mountain bike or road, tough guy or super tough girl, no matter the situation, bike, and type of rider, all can benefit when your undercarriage is coated in a thin layer of Assos Chamois Crème before you saddle up.
