## TRAIL Women's Cargo Half Shorts Black Series XL

These women's MTB shorts are designed for **All-Mountain** use and focus on a minimalist design with ultra-lightweight, abrasion-resistant materials. The primary **Type.OF11** fabric delivers quick drying, **UPF 50+** sun protection and a **DWR** finish against rain and mud, without compromising breathability. The **AZPtech (abdomZeroPressure)** waistband sits softly and securely, so nothing pinches when you're sprinting out of the saddle or working technical trails. The cut and leg length are designed so the shorts can be ridden with or without protectors as well as with liner shorts, and won't catch anywhere on the saddle.

- **Type.OF11** fabric: lightweight, quick-drying, highly abrasion-resistant, with **UPF 50+** and **DWR** treatment
- **AZPtech** waistband for pressure-free hold and high freedom of movement
- **trailFit**: close-fitting on top, more relaxed on the lower legs; ideal with or without **pads**
- Two side, centrally placed **zip pockets** for secure storage options
- Inner leg length approx. 32 cm (size M), varies slightly depending on size
- Material composition: **85% polyamide / 15% elastane**
- Colors/variants: **blackSeries** and torpedoGrey; size XL corresponds to the Black Series variant here
- Optimized for combining with **Trail Women's Liner Shorts** for additional support and storage space

## Technical Details and Features

The tightly woven **Type.OF11** textile combines low weight with high **abrasion resistance**, so the shorts reliably withstand contact with branches or rocky passages. Thanks to **UPF 50+** and **DWR** treatment, splash water and light rain bead off while moisture from inside escapes quickly. The **AZPtech** waistband uses highly elastic material for stable yet pressure-free hold – ideal on long rides and with frequent position changes. The upper leg section is cut narrow so the saddle "floats" freely between the thighs, while the lower section is cut more relaxed to comfortably cover **protectors**. Two flat, centrally placed **zip pockets** secure snacks, multitools or maps without interfering with pedaling.

## Applications and Benefits

As versatile **MTB shorts**, this model covers trail rides in the Zurich Uetliberg area as well as alpine **All-Mountain** tours and relaxed after-work rides. Riders benefit from the combined lightness and robustness, which is particularly noticeable on long climbs and rough descents. In tests, the comfortable, minimalist outer shorts were positively highlighted for their fit on the bike and high-quality construction, especially in combination with a matching liner. The fit remains stable even with frequent out-of-saddle efforts, while the DWR finish provides a functional buffer against wet roots and splash water. Those who ride with **liner shorts** gain additional storage space and padding without restricting mobility.

These shorts are easy to care for and designed for intensive use, so they dry quickly after the ride and are ready for action again soon. Combine them in warm conditions with lightweight **trail liner shorts**, in cooler conditions with knee warmers or light protectors. For size selection, we recommend sticking to your usual Assos size and choosing the more comfortable option if your hip measurements fall between two sizes. The **blackSeries** colorway fits discreetly with existing MTB or gravel outfits, while torpedoGrey offers a slightly lighter alternative.
