Trail Tactica Women's Liner Shorts HP T3

Assos Trail Tactica Women's Liner Shorts HP T3

This MTB liner short for women is super lightweight yet surprisingly tough, built specifically for rough terrain on gravel roads, singletrails and bike park lines. The liner features the new Women's OFF-ROAD HP T3 chamois, developed for more upright off-road positions and derived from DYORA RS expertise. Included are the removable ImpactorTec T3 hip pads, which offer extra protection without heat build-up thanks to 7 mm viscoelastic foam and kraterCooler ventilation. Worn under an outer short, the liner sits discreetly with a second-skin feel, is highly breathable and dries extremely fast – ideal for warm days from around 21 °C.

Technical Details and Features

The goldenGate 2.0 layout anchors the chamois only at the front and back, leaving the sides and centre free to move with your body – reducing friction and noticeably increasing freedom of movement. The multi-layer, perforated 3D Waffle foam boosts breathability and saves weight, while Shock‑Absorb Damping Mono9 absorbs impacts across a 9 mm platform. kraterCooler perforations along the leading edge channel fresh air through the chamois, keeping the microclimate dry and stable even on long, hot rides. At the waist, the zeroPressure Waist provides soft, elastic hold without digging in; at the legs, Superlight Leg Grippers ensure a non-slip fit without harsh silicone edges.

Intended Use and Benefits

You wear this liner under your trail or cargo short – perfect for technical singletrails, flowing gravel sections or long rides through the Mittelland and the Alps. The chamois is tuned to the more upright off-road riding position, relieving pressure on rough terrain, while the hip pads deliver an extra layer of protection on demanding days at the bike park or on alpine trails. Thanks to the extremely high breathability and fast drying, the liner really comes into its own in warm conditions from around 21 °C. For maximum wearing comfort, the main seams are deliberately placed on the outside, and the second-skin fit disappears discreetly beneath your outer shorts.

Fit and Variants

The Trail Tactica Women's Liner Shorts HP T3 is designed around a comfort-oriented fit that stays securely in place without adding bulk – ideal as the foundation of the TACTICA system. The airy Polstar mesh makes the liner noticeably cooler than conventional liner shorts; at the same time, the fabric is tough enough for intense off-road riding, yet intentionally designed as a layer to be worn under an outer short. Handy: the ImpactorTec T3 pads are removable depending on the ride, making handling and care easier. We carry the model in five variants; official sizes range from XS to 2XL, so you can dial in the fit exactly to your riding style and body.
