Fox Defend 3L Water Pants Highlights
3-layer protection: Technical 3-layer laminated fabric creates a waterproof, windproof barrier while effectively wicking away body moisture.
Fully waterproof seams: Heat-sealed interior seams prevent water from seeping through the seams.
Strategic Cordura® reinforcements: Reinforced friction and impact zones stand up to spray, abrasion, and tears in the event of a crash.
DWR water-repellent treatment: Durable Water Repellent finish sheds water, mud, and debris to keep the garment dry and clean longer.
Ergonomic mountain biking fit: Pre-shaped cut offers unrestricted pedaling and room to comfortably wear knee pads.
Waterproof zippers and adjustable leg openings: Two waterproof zippered hand pockets and ankle zippers make the pants easy to put on and take off.
