T8 extends as the official apparel partner of ATM!
We are delighted to announce that T8 has extended its support for the Asia Trail Master Championship series for Season IX, which is scheduled to run until mid-September 2024. T8 is credited as our official apparel partner.
The Hong Kong-based brand has entered the trail running market in Asia by storm over the past couple of years - and as such certainly lives up to its name. T8 refers to the typhoon or hurricane wind signal used by the Hong Kong Observatory to warn for a gale or storm from one of the four quadrants.
Founded by trail runners Mark Green and the 2019 ATM Champion John Ellis, T8 has been supporting ATM since 2019 and nowadays its stand-out logo is omnipresent in the Asian trail scene. In particular, the Sherpa Shorts and the T8 Commandos - the anti-chaffing underwear that started it all - have become many runners’s favourite. Combined with a fun and clean image, and an excellent team of trail performers, both competitively and media-wise, the brand keeps on growing.
In ATM Season IX, T8 will also continue its support for young trail running talents in Asia. The T8 Talent Fund will see runners from less-privileged areas receive an opportunity to shine and make themselves known by competing in one or more ATM points races. Hopefully, that may even result in qualification for their country team in the ATM Championship Finals. Nepal’s Rashila Tamang, the new female ATM Champion, is perhaps the greatest example of what the T8 Talent Fund can mean for someone.
‘T8 is very happy to continue its support for the Asia Trail Master series for the new season,” says David Longo, International Manager of T8. “In addition, we are looking forward to launching some new and exciting products in 2024.”

The T8 Commando
Trail runners and ultra runners in South East Asia need running gear that is crazy lightweight for minimal heat insulation, extra wicking and quick drying, plus super breathable for maximum air flow. The answer of T8 is the T8 Commando underwear: Ultralight, supercool, chafe-free - "so light you'll forget it's there". It's built for the worst conditions - category T8 typhoons - but also great for everyday casual wear.
Features
~ Super comfortable Italian fabric
~ Ultra lightweight at under 40 grams
~ Highly breathable and wicking
~ Minimal stride resistance
~ Guaranteed chafe-free
Great underwear starts with material and the T8 Commando features an environmentally sustainable Italian-made fabric. It's feather-light at only 85gsm, weighing less than half of the major brands.
The polyamide-elastane weave is super soft for an amazingly luxurious feel, while also providing a three dimensional stretch with minimal resistance and maximum airflow. It's highly breathable and holds very little moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable all day.
The T8 Commando also features thoughtful design. Flat stretch seams are positioned away from high risk areas (including the coccyx), with a six inch in-seam to protect the sensitive inner thighs. A double front panel provides extra support for your bits, while seam washing instructions are printed to avoid any chafing risk.
Each T8 Commando comes in a reusable water resistant phone case, perfect for protecting your other valuables when out running, and which saves on wasted packaging. We care about the environment!
The Commando has been extensively tested in tropical Hong Kong conditions and is guaranteed chafe-free. If you experience any chafing in these pants, send us a photo and we'll refund you 100%, no questions asked!
T8 will be supporting selected events on the ATM race calendar with vouchers for podium placers and lucky draws, as well as the top ranked runners at the end of the 2018 ATM Championship.
