Assos TRAIL TACTICA Liner HP T3 Shorts | Torpedo Grey

The ultralight TRAIL TACTICA High Performance Liner is built for breathability and durability. It’s also superlight, adapting technology like the fast-drying crochet elastic bib straps we use on our lightest production SUPERLÉGERE Bib Shorts. The bib straps are anchored by the zeroPressure Waist construction, which is also adapted from road equipment; however, we increased breathability by reducing it to a single layer and overall stability by extending it higher up the waist. TACTICA’s zeroPressure Waist is more breathable and more supportive, ideal for high-intensity rides on rough surfaces like gravel or singletrack. The bib short liners include the new OFF-ROAD HP T3 insert, which maintains the cooling airflow of the previous version but reduces friction while pedaling and adds plush comfort to absorb singletrack and gravel chatter at high speeds. The TACTICA includes three pockets, adding ride-extending storage capacity, and the pockets incorporate pull tabs to guide access beneath a jersey. Integrated elastane grip increases fit security in the leg bands, and the new ImpactorTec T3 hip pads provide a larger protective area, a jersey-soft inner face, and increased cooling.

• HP stands for "high performance": air cooling, comfort, protection.
• Super lightweight, durable liner shorts for aggressive off-road riding.
• The best of the current liner model has been taken and elevated to a whole new level of comfort
• New material, new insert, new protection, revised fit
• ImpactorTec T3: Re-engineered for the TRAIL TACTICA system with a combination of 7mm thick viscoelastic foam padding and a larger protective surface area, plus kraterCooler technology for cooling air circulation
• zeroPressure Waist: A soft, elastic waist design for even more comfort and support around the waist without applying pressure or restricting it
• Superlight Leg Grippers: Elastic band incorporated into the slightly compressive leg cuffs for a secure fit without constricting
• HP T3 seat pad with Shock-Absorb Damping Mono9: The compressive foam layers we increased the thickness from 8mm to 9mm for more upright riding positions on gravel and single track trails. A thermoformed cut reduces annoying transitions
• 3D Waffle: A patented three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability, has no excess weight and provides shock absorption
• goldenGate 2.0: Padding is attached front and back, with movable pads on the sides and center - for movement with you instead of against you. New cutouts on the sides reduce volume and friction with each pedal stroke
• kraterCooler: perforations on the front of the Chamois pad promote air exchange and provide breathability and a dry comfortable microclimate
• Revised Second Skin fit with ZeroPressure waist construction, standard leg length and leg loops for stabilized comfort
• Polstar (main textile): ultra-breathable, cooling bi-stretch mesh, hydrophilic treatment for moisture evaporation
• Speedy textile in the waist area: very light and soft, highly stretchable, odor-resistant
