TACTICA Shell Vest T5 - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"When I need an extra layer for unpredictable conditions, the Tactica Shell Vest T5 is my go-to. The Breaker fabric blocks wind and light rain while remaining incredibly lightweight and breathable. It fits close to the body without restricting movement, and I barely notice it when it's stowed in my pack. The twinDeck construction helps regulate temperature, and the reflective accents keep me visible when I’m out at dawn or dusk. Whether I’m hitting singletrack or a long gravel ride, this vest is a must-have for layering."

Wind whipping through the trees, drizzle in the air—we embrace the elements, knowing we’re covered with the Tactica Shell Vest T5. Designed to balance weather protection with breathability, this ultra-packable vest shields against wind and light precipitation while keeping airflow optimized. The dual-layer twinDeck construction pairs the windproof, water-repellent Breaker fabric with an ultrabreathable liner for moisture regulation and comfort.

The fit is streamlined yet flexible, allowing unrestricted movement whether we’re hammering out gravel miles or navigating technical trail descents. When the sun breaks through and layers need to come off, the vest compresses down to fit effortlessly in a jersey pocket or frame bag. With reflective details enhancing visibility in low light, this is the layer we rely on when the forecast is uncertain but the ride must go on.
