I need to share this with you. Took a short 40 km Sunday ride with my bike and for the first time I used the Ass Saver. It was not raining (at least not much), but the roads were completely wet. As you know, with road bikes that means wet ass and wet back. But not anymore!

So what's an Ass Saver? Ass Savers were invented by five Swedes, actually from Gothenburg, the wettest city in Sweden they say. We've seen the product even in the pro tour peloton, not bad!

Just some weeks ago I decided to try this out as well. It's only 8€:s and if I buy three I get free shipping. So I bought three and gave two to my cycling friends to try them out. 

I opened the envelope and found two black ass savers and one blue ass saver, just as ordered. My first thought? Wow, are these really going to keep you dry? A small piece of recycled plastics? Prove me wrong I thought.

Upp till bevis, as a swede would say. So I took the plastic ass saver, clipped it neatly onto my saddle (needed to cut it a bit shorter from the "saddle side", and it was easy, there were instructions to do this, just follow the marks.), and took the bike out to soaky roads.

During the ride I every now and then needed to get out of the saddle and look back whether the ass saver was still in place, and it was, firmly there. My ass felt dry, my back felt dry, the roads were really wet. I even steered into some puddles to really test this little piece of plastics. 

So how did I feel when I got back home? Dry. That's partly because I use Castelli Nanoflex arm and legwarmers and a Castelli Fawesome gilet. But my bibs are not water resistant in any way. Was my ass dry? Yes. 

The proof, the ass saver really does collect a big amount of that wet sand. So how about the back?

Just a few signs of what passed the ass saver. And really, my bibs were totally dry! Another cool thing for Specialized saddle users as me. When it's raining or the roads are wet, some saddles have that small section that will make it easier for you to sit in the saddle, but when its soaky that little hole will soak you from below. Ass saver not only saves your ass and back, but also those parts you really want to keep dry!

So do I recommend this to cyclists? Yes, to each and everyone. Save that 8 € from somewhere else. This is the most well spent 8 € in my life, especially being used to expensive cycling stuff. The Ass Savers are revolutionary in many ways, they actually deliver more than what they promise (to keep your ass dry)!

Tack så mycket Ass Savers, ni räddade min höstsäsong! 

Enjoy your rides!
