Defender 4 GTX - Black / Short / L

The Defender 4 GTX pants are do-it-all, go-anywhere premium adventure travel pants. Built to let you power through any and all conditions thanks to a high-end, three-layer construction – with a detachable thermal liner and fully waterproof over-and-under GORE-TEX® liner – these pants prepare you to defend against any weather. Whether it’s hot or cold, raining or shining, you’ve got an answer in the Defender 4 GTX. All-New Technical Design Redesigned from the ground up, the Defender 4 GTX boasts an all-new technical pants design. Constructed almost entirely from super comfortable and durable bonded rib stretch material – with CORDURA® ripstop fabric and protective screen print where extra durability is needed – these pants move with you on the bike, with ample fit adjustment options exactly where you need them. The adjustment straps at the back of the calves, hook-and-loop adjustment at the bottom hem, and an integrated waist adjustment belt also allow you to snug the pants up or loosen it up when you switch between layers. With both the quality PrimaLoft® thermal liner pants that is separately wearable and GORE-TEX® liner in the pants or just the thermals with the waterproof liner over the top, you’ll never lack all-day wearing comfort. Step-up in Ventilation and Storage In terms of ventilation and storage options, the new Defender 4 GTX pants are a step-up. From the large drop-down ventilation panels across the thighs that double as cargo pockets to the pair of zippered pockets up top, there’s no limit to long days riding in warm weather. If you’re riding past sundown, it’s nice to know you’ve got carefully placed laminated reflection to keep you visible from all angles. When it comes to safety and control, there’s confidence in knowing leather grip panels at the knees and seat gripping patches on the seat of the pants as well as CE-level 2 SEEFLEX armor at the knees and CE-level 1 SEESMART protectors at the hips.

Ventilation

• Ventilation zippers on upper legs
• Ventilation panels on upper legs The ventilation panels on this garment allow for optimal airflow to keep the body cool while riding.
• VCS|Panel with FidLock® magnetic fastener on upper legs Removable panels for optimum ventilation. Ventilation is nice on warmer days, but not as desirable in cold weather. The panels can be kept open due to the FidLock magnetic Fastener. The Fidlock® magnetic fastener not only uses the attraction but also the repulsion of magnets. This leads to a robust closure with high locking strength that can still be easily opened with one hand while riding.
