The Defender 3 GTX are a very versatile pair of rugged pants that is prepared to take on any weather on the road. To keep riders comfortable in cold & wet, they are equipped with a removable 3-layer GORE-TEX waterproof liner with a removable thermal liner for insulation in colder temperatures. The outer shell is equipped with stretch inserts above the knee & under the waist to increase freedom of movement during active riding on or off the road. When the temperature starts to rise while riding, easily open the VCSVentilation panels on the upper legs & secure them using the magnetic Fidlock® closure. By opening the exhaust vent on the rear of the pocket, riders will create a steady flow of air through the pants keeping upper legs cool & comfortable. Under the rugged outer shell constructed of ripstop material, we installed SEESMART level 1 hip protectors & SEEFLEX level 2 protectors that come in height adjustable knee protector pockets. To increase the abrasion resistance on the high impact areas of the outer shell, we added a protective multi-layer print to the knee area.
