Transfer Liner Short delivers moisture-wicking comfort and lightweight chamois support for daily rides
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This liner does everything I want—light, breathable, and the chamois gives just enough padding for trail and gravel without bulk. I wear it under everything from MTB shorts to casual bikepacking setups."
When we're out spinning laps or riding long miles on mixed terrain, the PEARL iZUMi Transfer Liner Short gives us a lightweight layer of next-to-skin comfort and support. Designed to disappear under baggies or cargo shorts, it offers breathable performance and just enough chamois cushion for hours in the saddle without extra bulk.
The Transfer mesh fabric moves moisture efficiently and keeps airflow high, making this liner a reliable pick for warm-weather rides and high-output efforts. The integrated SELECT Escape 1:1 chamois offers targeted padding and minimal friction, while low-profile silicone leg grippers keep the short in place without digging in. Whether we’re trail riding, commuting, or bikepacking, it’s a simple essential that makes every ride more comfortable.

Developed Crease in Chamois After Time
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- m
I really liked them in the beginning but over time developed a weird crease in the chamois after a couple of months and could not wear them any more. Maybe I just got a bad short.

Good with a few minor issues
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- Large
Overall a decent liner short but with a few minor issues. The chamois is a bit large in the front for me and feels wide while walking around. The chamois itself is simple looking, no raised bits like some others but it's pretty comfortable in spite of the front feeling a little bulky. The material the short is made from isn't as open weave as I'd like, on the few hot days I've worn it it seems like it doesn't breathe as well as a few other liners I have. Overall I think you get what you pay for and for $50 it's a good deal. I think if the chamois was slightly slimmer I'd give it another star.

New go-to liner short
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
This great fitting liner quickly became my go to liner for big MTB rides. Chamois is very comfortable but not too thick. Thinner mesh on sides keeps me cooler - a huge plus!

Good short liners long in the leg
I bought medium PI transfer Liner Shorts and they work well. But I much prefer the earlier PI liner shorts with a shorter leg and inseam. I haven't been able to find them.
