Assos Tactica Spring Fall Bib Shorts T5 – Comfort, protection, and performance for off-road in the mid-seasons
The Assos Tactica Spring Fall Bib Shorts T5 is designed to offer medium-weight thermoregulation, water resistance, and maximum breathability on cool and damp spring and autumn days.
Ideal for low-intensity off-road cycling, gravel, and bikepacking, it combines comfort, protection, and practicality thanks to easily accessible integrated pockets and a pad optimized for dirt terrain.
Inside the product
The variable conditions of the mid-seasons put cycling clothing to the test, especially off-road.
For this reason, Assos designed the Tactica Spring Fall Bib Shorts T5, combining advanced technologies from the MILLE GT line (designed for road cycling) with a more robust and versatile structure for off-road.
The RX EVO fabric creates a windproof, breathable, and water-repellent insulating barrier, ensuring thermal comfort and freedom of movement.
The two side thigh pockets, made of breathable mesh, offer extra space to safely store essentials and snacks during longer rides.
Thanks to the rollBar technology, the TACTICA T5 chamois stays firmly in place even during weight shifts, ensuring stability and optimal vibration absorption on gravel or singletrack routes.
Technology overview
Fabrics: RX EVO
The RX EVO fabric is breathable, thermoregulating, and water-repellent thanks to an ECO DWR (ecological water-repellent) treatment.
The inner surface soft and brushed offers superior comfort and a warm feeling on the skin.
The black elastic panels maintain their intensity even after numerous stresses.
The side pockets are made of K-Net snag-proof mesh, a breathable and durable material that keeps contents stable and secure even during movement.
Construction and fit: TACTICA T5
The TACTICA T5 cut offers greater freedom of movement and a less aggressive profile compared to traditional racingFit.
Combines aerodynamic design and prolonged comfort, ideal for long gravel rides or bike touring, reducing compression when getting off the saddle.
