The ¾ length Knickers extend protection to the knee and are cut to accommodate knee pads while featuring the same updates as the shorts. These include lightweight materials and construction and the adaptation of the zeroPressure Waist technology from our road equipment, which uses highly elastic material and silicone grip to lock the knickers in place with an unrestrictive, frictionless hold. The new Water & Mud Shield Tec is unique to TACTICA, repelling trail spray and mud while expelling internal moisture and drying fast to reduce weight gained through moisture soaking in. Two pockets provide zippered and triple ramp security, and bonded hems eliminate weight and friction between system layers. Reflective strips on the back of the legs help maintain visibility while riding to and from the trailhead.
