The Defender Trousers are expertly crafted to shield you from the harshest outdoor elements, making them the ultimate choice for any outdoor enthusiast. These tactical pants boast Bushbuck's cutting-edge Stormarc technology, a three-layer technical fabric that offers unparalleled protection against wind, rain, and rugged terrain. With an impressive waterproof rating of 10,000mm, fully seam-sealed construction, and DWR treatment, these pants keep you completely dry and comfortable while remaining highly breathable.
Designed for durability, the Defender Pants feature a tough 500D Oxford Nylon outer layer that can handle the most challenging conditions in the bush and on the farm. The inner lining is made from 40D polyester tricot mesh, regulating your body temperature by allowing heat and moisture to escape. A gusseted crotch provides extra reinforcement and breathability, while full-length zips on each leg enable easy removal over boots. The adjustable waist belt and articulated knee ensure maximum mobility and freedom of movement.
The Defender Trousers offer protection, durability, and comfort regardless of where your adventures take you. Pair them with the Defender Jacket for complete waterproof coverage from head to toe.
We recommend going up one size if you intend to wear them as waterproof over pants.
