The Defender 3 GTX are a very versatile pair of rugged pants that is prepared to take on any weather on any road. To keep riders comfortable in cold and wet, they are equipped with a removeable 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 and 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 VCS|Ventilation panels on the upper legs and secure them using the magnetic Fidlock® closure. Under the rugged outer shell constructed of ripstop material, we installed SEESMART™ CE-level 1 hip protectors and SEEFLEX™ CE-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.
