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
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. It's 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.
When/How to use it
Combine with the TACTICA T5 layering systems, adding the TACTICA Shell Vest and STEINADLER Shell Jacket for inclement conditions.
