What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've worn the Tactica Thermo Pants T5 on snowy singletrack and sleet-soaked commutes. The RX EVO material insulates without overheating, and the DWR finish actually works. It's the only shell pant I trust to layer over bibs in nasty weather."Winter doesn't stop our ride plans, it just calls for smarter layering. The Assos Tactica Thermo Pants T5 are built for deep-winter protection and versatility, pairing easily with lighter bibs in cool temps or thermal kits in the coldest conditions.
