John Doe have nailed the cargo trouser in the past - and who would have guessed, they’ve done it again. Only better.
Incorporating all of the style and functionality that comes with a cargo trouser, but packaged in a top-of-the range, single-layer protective garment, the Defender is pretty close to essential for the summer riding season. Supreme comfort thanks to the stretch fabric, but serious protection due to the inter-woven XTM-Fiber®, and integrated hip and height-adjustable keen armour pockets (with Level 1 protectors included), it’s not surprising that this garment achieved the incredibly high CE Level AAA certification.
If you’ve worn anything by John Doe in the past, you’ll know their riding gear is so comfortable, you’ll basically never want to get out of it. The single-layered nature of the Defender improves on this, and is breathable whilst being water-repellant, all adding up to a supremely lightweight, and great looking trouser for the summer months.
