Description
WHAT IT IS
Superlight, ultrabreathable riding pants engineered with durable, abrasion-resistant textiles, secure zeroPressure waist construction, and an all-new treatment protective against water and mud.
BEHIND THE PRODUCT
The TRAIL TACTICA Cargo Pants provide full coverage and total breathability for enduro laps, flow trails, and bike parks. Louvre Tec tailoring behind the knee eliminates extra material and reduces bunching while pedaling. The pants also include zeroPressure Waist technology from our road equipment, which uses highly elastic material and silicone grip to lock the pants in place with an unrestrictive, frictionless hold. The new Water & Mud Shield Tec is unique to TACTICA, repelling trail spray and mud while expelling internal moisture and drying fast to reduce weight gained through moisture soaking in. Two pockets provide zippered and triple ramp security, and bonded hems eliminate weight and friction between system layers. Reflective strips on the lower legs help maintain visibility while riding to and from the trailhead.
WHEN/HOW TO USE IT
Layer over TRAIL Liners for extended, pad-compatible protection, water repellency, and additional storage capacity.
FINER DETAILS
FEATURED FABRICS
Type.OF13 is a the most robust, durable textile in the TACTICA line. Its four-way stretch and high-density woven construction is similar in cool breathability to the Type.OF11 in other TACTICA equipment, but it’s more abrasion resistant. Tech Sheen Mesh inserted at the waist and lower leg relieves pressure, maintains secure hold, and dials a streamlined fit.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT
TRAIL fit is the ASSOS take on ill-fitting baggies, featuring a more streamlined, low-volume cut that follows the body’s motion without restriction and layers over pads.
ENGINEERING
- Water & Mud Shield Tec: A new, trail-specific technology that sheds water and mud, prevents stains, and actively expels internal moisture.
- zeroPressure Waist: A soft, highly elastic waist construction that improves comfort and hold at the waist, minus any pressure or pinching.
- Louvre Tec: Excess material removed behind the knee reduces bunching and wrinkling throughout the pedal stroke.
- Secure pockets: A taped, zippered pocket and a triple ramp pocket provide secure storage for ride essentials and larger items like phones.
