TACTICA Shell Vest T5 - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Tactica Shell Vest T5 is the ultimate just-in-case layer. It’s so lightweight and packable that I never hesitate to bring it, whether I’m riding gravel or singletrack. The twinDeck construction provides wind resistance up front while maintaining breathability in the back, so I stay comfortable without overheating. The fit is streamlined but allows full mobility, and the reflective accents are a great touch for early morning or late evening rides."

Every ride brings changing conditions, and the Tactica Shell Vest T5 ensures we stay ahead of the weather. Engineered with a twinDeck construction, this lightweight vest combines windproof and water-repellent Breaker fabric with a breathable inner lining to regulate temperature and moisture. Sens-AIR warp-knit fabric at the rear panel enhances stretch and ventilation, keeping us comfortable during long hours in the saddle.

The fit is mobility-focused—less aggressive than a racing vest but still streamlined enough to avoid flapping in the wind. Thoughtfully placed reflective details add low-light visibility, making it a key layer for dawn patrols and dusk descents. When the skies clear, the vest compresses into a barely noticeable bundle, easily stowed in a jersey pocket or frame bag.

For riders pushing through cool, variable conditions, this vest delivers just the right balance of protection, breathability, and packability. From fast-paced gravel grinds to backcountry epics, the Tactica Shell Vest T5 keeps us moving, no matter what the weather throws our way.
