DESCRIPTION

Off-road bib shorts blending performance and durability for competition and touring alike, refined with integrated storage, a more compressive textile, and a simplified, weight-saving construction.Gravel and singletrack performance, upgraded – the TACTICA KIESKÄFER T5 replaces the GTC KIESPANZER C2 with a lighter, more breathable, and more compressive construction. The key upgrades are the Type.911 textile, and the stabilizing rollBar, which are adapted from the Racing Series, bringing high-intensity road performance to off-road riding. The thigh pockets are also larger, granting expanded storage for easy access to ride essentials and fuel. For the T5 generation, we also updated the insert with more shock-absorbing foam, muting chatter and smoothing repeated impacts on gravel and trails.

The finer details

FEATURED FABRICS
Type.911 is a warp-knit textile with a silky-smooth, abrasion-resistant texture that provides stabilizing compression in a deeper, fuller black than the previous model. Its also hydrophobic and dries quickly, preventing weight gained through lingering moisture, and is equipped with odorControl properties and UPF 50+ protection. 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 our 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.

Integrated Storage:
Two triple-ramp thigh pockets securely stow ride essentials with easy access while the gravel or the trail demands full attention.

TACTICA T5 Insert

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:
patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
