It offers **UPF 50+** sun protection and **odorControl**, so you stay fresh in the saddle even on warm, dusty days. The **K-Net** mesh panels form the stretchy cargo pockets and keep nutrition and tools reliably close to your body. Structurally, **rollBar** straps, **zeroPressure Waist** and the non-slip **PILtec Plug-In** leg gripper ensure a stable fit, even when things get bumpy or slightly wet. The women-specific **TACTICA WOM T5 Insert** uses 11 mm **Shock-Absorb Damping Mono**, **goldenGate 2.0** and the perforated **3D Waffle** structure for ventilation, less friction and long-lasting comfort on rough terrain. Material composition: Main fabric 80% polyamide / 20% elastane; pocket insert 70% polyamide / 30% elastane. ## Applications and Benefits The shorts show their strengths on **gravel routes**, forest roads and **singletrack**, but also feel at home on bikepacking and commuting routes thanks to the cargo pockets. The additional **cushioning** of the insert smooths out rough sections, while the **compression** supports your muscles without limiting mobility. The **PILtec Plug-In** gripper keeps the legs reliably in position, even when it gets damp, and the pockets often save you from needing a handlebar bag or overstuffed jersey pockets. Independent editorial voices highlight the **durability**, **comfort** and everyday practicality of the TACTICA KIESKÄFER bibs – even on long, tough events. For changing conditions, the bib can be ideally combined with the **TACTICA T5 Layering System**. ## Fit, Sizes and Variants The **TACTICA T5** fit is slightly less aggressive than the racingFit line and was designed for hours of comfort off-road, including comfortable freedom of movement off the bike. The model is available in sizes **XS to 2XL**, so you can find a precise option for training, racing and touring. For Switzerland's seasonal variety, several colorways are available, including **blackSeries** and **Robust Grey**, which combine discreetly with existing gravel outfits. As a system concept, depending on the weather, we recommend adding the **TACTICA Shell Vest** or the **STEINADLER** shell jacket for additional protection. ## Variants - 52.10.137.18.2XL: in stock - 52.10.137.18.XS: in stock - 52.10.137.18.L: in stock - 52.10.137.18.M: in stock - 52.10.137.18.XL: in stock - 52.10.137.18.S: in stock --- Source: https://kilometro.ch/en/products/shorts-664/tactica-kieskafer-womens-bib-shorts-t5-905
