Assos Women’s Tactica KIESKÄFER Bib Shorts T5 If you’re ready for an off-road adventure, the Assos Women’s Tactica KIESKÄFER Bib Shorts T5 are the perfect companion to ensure a comfortable ride. Whether it’s a multi-day gravel tour or competitive XC MTB racing, the Tactica T5 shorts maintain a compressive fit, and optimal stability, and feature extra storage for essentials you want within easy reach. Replacing the previous Women’s GTC C2 model, the KIESKÄFER Bib Shorts are lighter, more compressive, and more breathable, boosting comfort as you speed along gravel roads or whip around singletrack trails. The Type.911 textile used in their construction gives a silky smooth but abrasion-resistant finish. Type 911 is also hydrophobic and quick drying, preventing moisture retention from adding to garment weight, and is equipped with odorControl properties for freshness and UPF 50+ protection for sunnier days. RollBar bib straps provide stability to the seat pad so it’s always in the right place and gives perfect comfort. Large thigh pockets are made from K-Net, a breathable warp-knit mesh, creating space for easy-to-reach gels or spares. Women’s Tactica T5 Seat Pad The Assos Women’s Tactica T5 seat pad is designed for off-road comfort with an 11mm Shock-Absorb Damping Mono layer that cushions against micro-shocks and vibrations on gravel and singletrack. Its goldenGate 2.0 design allows the pad to move naturally with your body, reducing friction, thanks to strategically placed cut-outs along the sides. Enhanced with the 3D Waffle, a patented, three-layer perforated foam, the pad maximises breathability and reduces weight, keeping you comfortable and cool when taking on rougher terrain.
