The Start Five is the Start family's with the sandwich: 60 g lightweight cotton, a seam-free flat panel optimal for printing, velcro closure — and the sandwich band stitched on the visor adding a built-in two-tone visual identity without any extra customisation. The direct comparison with the Start Six (STSX) clarifies the difference: the Start Six has 6 panels with a centre seam and 4 earth-tone solids; the Start Five Sandwich has a seam-free flat front and 5 two-tone variants with a contrast sandwich. Anyone wanting lightweight cotton in solids picks the Start Six; anyone wanting the visor's built-in two-tone identity picks the Start Five Sandwich.
5 colourways, real photos.

The available variants — khaki-navy, black-white, navy-white, red, royal — offer two kinds of two-tone: a khaki with a navy visor (khaki earth + deep blue), black/navy with a white sandwich, and red and royal as solids without a declared sandwich. The sides are 10×6 cm per side — the Start family's same wide sides, a concrete advantage over cotton 5-panels with 6×5 cm sides. The front transfer (8×6 cm) is among the widest in the lightweight cotton category.
