TRAIL 3/3 LinerBibTightHP

The Assos TRAIL 3/3 LinerBibTightHP is an insulating MTB/Gravel liner bib tight for ambitious off-road rides in cool to freezing weather. As the cornerstone of the TACTICA Layering System, it combines lightweight, breathable insulation with robust abrasion resistance and a body-hugging second-skin fit. For long days in the saddle, the OFF‑ROAD HP T3 insert, integrated ImpactorTec T3 hip pads, and three rear pockets with pull tabs provide quick access under jerseys or jackets. Quick-drying, crocheted straps – inspired by the SUPERLÉGÈRE platform – and the elastic zeroPressure Waist complete this trail-performance-focused design.

• RX EVO Light thermal textile for warmth, breathability and trail abrasion protection
• OFF‑ROAD HP T3 chamois with advanced cushioning and high air circulation
• ImpactorTec T3 hip pads with enlarged protection area and cooling kraterCooler ventilation
• Elastic zeroPressure Waist and quick-drying, crocheted straps
• Three rear pockets with pull tabs for easy access when layering
• 3/4 leg length with lightweight leg endings for secure hold without silicone

Technical Details and Features

The main RX EVO Light fabric (220 g/m²) offers asymmetric stretch, ECO DWR C0 treatment, UPF 50+, and stays deep black even under tension thanks to black elastane – ideal as a warming, breathable foundation in the TACTICA system. The OFF‑ROAD HP T3 insert combines the 9mm Shock‑Absorb Damping Mono platform, the perforated 3D Waffle structure, goldenGate 2.0 for movable side wings, and kraterCooler air channels for a dry microclimate. The ImpactorTec T3 hip pads use 7mm viscoelastic foam with larger protection area and optimized cooling. The zeroPressure Waist supports without pressure points, while super-lightweight leg endings secure the fit without silicone. Composition: 61% polyamide, 22% polyester, 17% elastane; Fit: Second-skin for discreet layering under TACTICA cargo layers.

Applications and Benefits

This liner bib tight is designed for off-road tours from autumn through winter to spring and shows its strengths on singletrails, gravel sections, and long winter rides in Switzerland. It's worn directly under TACTICA Cargo shorts, knickers, or pants, providing warmth, shock absorption, and additional storage space without restricting mobility. For the coldest days, it can be strategically layered under the TACTICA Winter Cargo Pants T3; the 3/4 leg length pairs perfectly with TRAIL Winter Socks. The system approach simplifies temperature management on changeable Alpine and Mittelland routes, while the hip pads offer discreet protection on technical descents.

Additional notes on fit and layering: The body-hugging construction minimizes friction while pedaling and harmonizes with loose outer layers without creating wrinkles. The three rear pockets with integrated pull tabs simplify access under jackets – practical when gloves are involved or weather changes. The Speedy waist material provides odor-inhibiting and lightly compressive support, while the crocheted straps quickly wick away moisture. Available in sizes XS–3XL; ideal for riders who want to combine modularly between 1/3–3/3 seasonal levels in a TACTICA setup.
