The mercurial conditions of the shoulder seasons are especially challenging off-road, so ASSOS engineered the TACTICA Spring Fall Bib Shorts T5 to combine technologies from the road-specific MILLE GT line with durable versatility for riding beyond the tarmac. The RX EVO textile is a highly insulating, breathable barrier against inclement conditions, suitable for spring and fall during low-intensity riding on trails and gravel. Two thigh pockets provide additional storage for ride essentials and fuel, unlocking longer days of exploration, and the trickledown rollBar technology locks the gravel-tuned, chatter-muting, and trail-smoothing TACTICA T5 insert in place.
Technology
FEATURED FABRICS
RX EVO is a breathable, thermoregulating textile with an ECO water-repellent treatment and a soft, brushed inner face. The elastic elements are true black, so they don’t turn white while stretching. The pockets are created with panels of K-Net, a supportive, breathable warp-knit mesh that wraps contents in stabilizing security.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT
The TACTICA T5 mobility-enhancing fit is less aggressive than ASSOS racingFit, balancing streamlined, low-volume aerodynamics with multi-hour comfort and less restriction off the bike.
ENGINEERING
//rollBar: A patented bracing design adapted from the Racing Series. Stabilizes the insert and locks it in place as your weight transfers while sprinting, climbing, and cornering.
//zeroPressure Waist: A soft, highly elastic waist construction that improves comfort and hold at the waist, minus any pressure or pinching.
//PILtec Plug-In: A lightweight, ultrabreathable textile band across the leg opening. The microdot silicone treatment is invisible from the outside but stabilizes fit and maintains grip while wet.
TACTICA T5
//Shock-Absorb Damping Mono: A single, breathable layer of 11mm of off-road comfort, engineered to absorb the micro-shocks and vibration of gravel and singletrack.
//goldenGate 2.0: The insert is attached at front and rear with floating sides and center, letting it move with your body rather than against it. New cut-outs on the sides reduce volume and friction throughout the pedal stroke.
//3D Waffle: A patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
