## Assos TACTICA Shell Jacket T5

The Assos TACTICA Shell Jacket T5 is a lightweight off-road jacket for high intensity in cool, wet and changeable weather, redesigned with even more breathability and additional **reflectors**. The **Breaker** textile protects the front with **windproof** and **DWR** treatment, while **Yubari** at the back regulates your microclimate as an ultra-breathable panel. The construction is so slim that you can pack the jacket as small as possible – ideal for backpacks or **frame bags** on gravel and trail tours. The movement-friendly **TACTICA T5** fit remains less aggressive than racingFit and offers full freedom of movement on and off the bike.

- Front made from **Breaker** with **DWR** finish; back **Yubari** for maximum **breathability**.
- **Type.718** inserts: breathable, abrasion-resistant and water-repellent – ideal over jersey sleeves.
- Ultra-compact packable for backpacking, bikepacking and long tours with weather changes.
- Visibility thanks to **reflective** details on shoulders and lower back.
- Sizes from XS to 3XL; slim, movement-enhancing **TACTICA T5** fit.
- Available from us in two variants.

## Technical Details and Features

The **Breaker** main material forms a **windproof** shield at the front and is equipped with **DWR** water-repellent treatment; at only 35 g/m² it barely adds bulk and packs extremely small. On the back, **Yubari** provides very high **breathability** and supports fine-tuning of your microclimate during intensive off-road use. Additionally, **Type.718** inserts are used in less exposed zones, increasing **abrasion resistance** and elasticity to stabilize the sleek silhouette. The **TACTICA T5** fit balances low bulk and aerodynamics with comfort and freedom of movement, even when you get out of the saddle or have a carry section. The reflective elements are strategically placed on shoulders and lower back – where they have the most effect in Swiss twilight. Composition: Front 100% polyamide; sleeves/sides 58% polyamide, 42% elastane; back panel 100% polyamide; collar/pocket 76% polyamide, 24% elastane.

## Applications and Benefits

The jacket is made for **gravel**, **MTB** and trail rides in cool, damp conditions – from short after-work loops to alpine weekend tours in Switzerland. Thanks to the combination of **weather protection** at the front and high **breathability** at the back, your upper body stays protected without overheating, even on long climbs. Due to the minimal pack size, it disappears in your backpack or frame bag and is immediately at hand when wind or drizzle suddenly appear in the foothills. The **TACTICA T5** fit works equally well on rough singletrack as on fast gravel sections, without flapping or restricting. The **reflectors** increase visibility on early morning commutes or in overcast conditions.

Additionally, the TACTICA line generally stands for off-road performance with a focus on versatility, robustness and high **breathability** – qualities that prove themselves during bikepacking, gravel racing or ambitious training rides. Independent tests and reviews clearly place TACTICA in the gravel and adventure segment, where faster pace and practical packing come together. This way you benefit from a jacket that fits athletically, provides reliable weather protection and integrates seamlessly into multi-layer setups with jersey and vest. For variable conditions, the shell can be sensibly combined with the TACTICA vest or a warm midlayer.
