I can't really fault these liner shorts. I have been using them for casual cruising and light bikepacking and they are great. Chamois is perfect for my use and the stretchy fabric isn't too tight or restrictive. Quality is top tier, as I expected from Assos. I'll be getting another pair.
Product Details
Assos Trail Tactica T3 Liner Short
Intended for less intense activities, the Assos Trail Tactica T3 Liner Short is ideal for wearing next to the skin for commuting, touring and electric bike riding.
The main feature of the short is the Airflow.1299 warp-knit textile that is very lightweight and incredibly breathable, ensuring excellent temperature control and comfort. Stitching has been reversed on the seams to eliminate any chafing and the zeroPressure waist uses wide elastic to reduce any potential for uncomfortable pressure.
Discreet and slim, the 6mm thick OFF-ROAD ST T3 Insert uses three layers of perforated foam to improve breathability and moisture management whilst the goldenGate 2.0 concept allows the pad to move freely with the body during the pedal stroke as it is only secured to the short at the front and rear.

About Assos
Swiss precision. Half a century of obsession.
Assos of Switzerland was founded in 1976 by Toni Maier-Moussa with a single ambition: reinvent cycling apparel from the inside out. The Lycra cycling short, modern bibs, the chamois as we know it — all began here. Half a century later, the obsession with precision and ride feel hasn't moved an inch.
Assos still designs and engineers every piece in Switzerland. The brand operates its own laboratory, its own development pool of test riders, and its own assembly line for the most demanding garments in the range.
