Times have moved on when mountain bike clothing was overly baggy and rather ill-fitting. The TRAIL Cargo Shorts T3 are instead designed to eliminate excess bulk and yet maintain awesome freedom of movement, just what's needed when you're moving and reacting to ever-changing terrain. An update to the waist design improves the fit compared to previous models and pockets are now easier to access too, even for those with larger hands or when wearing gloves. The Type.OF11 fabric used for the shorts is highly abrasion resistant and with a bi-stretch woven construction. When pedalling uphill, traversing across trails, hitting downhills and just getting rowdy it provides fabulous freedom of movement. Comfort and freedom are further enhanced by Sens ST textile inserts. This lightweight fabric adds a touch of compression where needed and gives you outstanding breathability alongside a super-soft feel against the skin. Fast-drying, flexible, UPF50+ and with durable water repellent (DWR) treatment, these shorts protect you against all the elements. Assos has also been very meticulous with the fit of the Trail Cargo Shorts. The elasticated waist construction known as the AZPtech, ensures a smooth and comfortable feel, lessening pressure across the waist while still holding firm. The trim fit also prevents snagging on the saddle, leaving you free to move around the bike with ease. Meanwhile, the lower legs are relaxed to be suitable with or without pads, giving you the confidence to take on any trail feature.

For long days of exploration, you'll want plenty of storage space and here the Explore shorts have you covered. A total of 5 pockets, including a security pocket for valuables, lets you keep small items and essentials within easy reach, saving having to delve into frame bags. To keep the shorts firmly in place you'll find a silicone gripper on the inside of the waistband, while adjustment buckles let you dial in the fit as you like it. Whether you wear alone or over padded liner shorts, they offer the ideal combination of protection, style and versatility for gravel riding, adventure and bike packing.
