The updated Assos Trail Liner Shorts were designed to keep you comfortably supported off-road for epic or regular old trail rides. Using their rallyBoxer as a template, Assos designers gave the liner shorts a new front panel and waist design and an extended inseam for a cleaner wrap on the thighs. They also strategically placed their removable impactPads (included) at the hips for crash protection during demanding rides. The waist has been constructed with a tall V-shaped panel that comfortably molds to your lower abdomen while in the riding position, and the design team also extended the inseam for a cleaner wrap on the thighs. These work great with the Assos Trail Cargo Shorts T3, with ideal placement of the pad system for the best interaction between the two pieces. It is true that other over-shorts may work just fine, but the interactions may be less than ideal. The overall quality, design and features of the Trail Liner Shorts are worth it either way. Most liner shorts lack a high quality, high performance insert pad like their OffRoad Liner EVO Insert, with seams located off pressure zones and proper paneling for ideal cycling ergonomics. This is a liner short that will exceed your expectations.

Assos proprietary Ultrasoft warp-knit Aerofit fabric has been applied to the legs for maximum ventilation. It's high elasticity and built-in odorControl also keeps you cool and dry when the temps and effort go up. On the saddle, the OFF-ROAD Liner EVO Insert is designed to offer extra support across the rear of the pad, suited to the more upright riding position when mountain biking. The 3D waffle construction sees three-layers of perforated foam delivering impressive breathability while reducing bulk as that is the purpose of the 8mm of Memory Foam. Ventilation is also optimized due to the 4mm thick kraterCooler system, a layer which features perforation holes along the front of the pad to increase airflow and cool sensitive areas.
