Technical details and features

At the heart is the Blast textile, a new circular-knit construction that increases breathability and moves moisture away from the skin quickly. The fiber is treated with permanent odorControl and offers UPF 50+, which provides noticeable protection on hot summer days on gravel and trails. The seamless processing minimizes friction when you layer with liners or vests and also reduces material waste in production. For fit, ASSOS relies on TACTICA T5: less aggressive than racingFit, with lower volume for a clean silhouette and long-distance comfort. This is complemented by pre-shaped sleeves for a natural position on the bars and an open collar that does not restrict breathing even under high load. The material composition of 61% polyamide, 36% polypropylene and 3% carbon fiber provides a robust, lightweight base with a pleasant next-to-skin feel.

Use cases and benefits

The TACTICA W LS Tech T-Shirt T5 plays to its strengths wherever you move a lot, sweat and need reliable protection: on Gravel rides, technical singletracks or when commuting through the city. In combination with TACTICA Liners and Cargo Shorts it forms a flexible system for tours, bikepacking or after-work laps. Thanks to UPF 50+ and the long sleeve you benefit especially when gaining elevation in the sun, without compromising on air circulation. The less aggressive TACTICA T5 fit remains comfortable off the bike too, for example during a coffee stop or when shouldering a tricky trail section. Within the ASSOS Adventure world, TACTICA is aimed at versatile offroad use and sensibly complements your wardrobe between road performance and relaxed trail kit. This gives you a reliable all-round long-sleeve jersey for Swiss everyday life and weekend adventures.

Additional note: For a coherent set-up ASSOS recommends pairing the shirt with the Summer 1/3 TACTICA accessories; this covers a wide temperature range and benefits from a thoughtful layering concept. The seamless construction reduces chafe points under backpacks or hip-packs and makes the jersey comfortable on long tours. The open-cut collar keeps the neck area free, which is especially noticeable during intense efforts. The combination of Blast fabric, UPF 50+ and the movement-friendly TACTICA T5 fit makes the shirt a pragmatic choice for riders who prioritize function over show. If you’re between sizes, choose based on the desired fit: sportier, closer to the body, or a bit more relaxed for touring and commuting.
