The world's best non-bib short? Absolutely. We like the FI.Uno_S5 half-short for wearing under a super thin baggy short for off-road riding or casual rides from our shop into San Francisco to pick up a few pounds of coffee at Blue Bottle and a sack of almond croissants from the legendary Tartine.
The FI.Uno_S5 Half features a fit and performance that is more suited to riders looking for comfort first and all-out performance second. For example, the Uno has less overall compression throughout the thigh and crotch area than an FI.13 or Mille short, which de-tunes the performance aspect, but actually feels more comfortable on shorter rides.
Fabricated largely from Assos A.430 fabric, the Uno has what Assos describes as a six-panel design, one that was developed using their AEPD II (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) system for the perfect fit while sitting in the saddle. The pattern used through the crotch and around the thighs is less aggressive than on the FI.13 and the shorts feature a fabric that actually places less pressure on the crotch
Not content with ordinary half short waistbands, Assos has designed an incredible Elastic Waistband System that provides adequate pressure to keep the shorts in place, but does not constrict breathing. How’d they do it? By using a higher compression Lycra on the back and a lower, more supple version across the abdomen. The front portion of the wasteband is quite wide and very soft to prevent any chance of binding. We could write about it for days, but the reality is, if you try them on once you’ll completely understand.
The best thing about the Uno_S5, and one that isn’t immediately apparent when you slip them on for the first time, is how awesome the newly designed insert is. Similar in many ways the insert found in the FI.13_S5 short, the Uno insert is built using Assos’ new dimpled waffle material for increased breathability, heightened ergonomics and lower volume. Although this is Assos’ entry-level short, the pad is of higher quality and performance than you’ll find in any other half-short.
