Defender Waterproof Trousers

Wind, rain, and rough terrain shouldn’t dictate how long you stay out. The Defender Pants offer rugged, technical windproof and waterproof protection built for demanding outdoor work and adventure, keeping you comfortable and covered when it matters most. __*Unreal pants! Did not skip a beat through rain, sleet and sunny days in Tasmania. Comfort level ontop of merino leggings were superb. Ergonomics of pockets was perfect for everything I stuffed in them, phones, gloves, beanies, could fit them all. Would give 6 stars if I could* - Adam P, United States of America__

The Defender Pants are engineered to protect you from even the harshest outdoor elements, such as torrential rain, sodden grass, gale-force winds, and dense bush. These pants are made using Bushbuck’s Stormarc technology, a three-layer technical fabric that is waterproof, windproof, durable, and highly breathable.

Stormarc is a unique fabric that is exceptionally effective at keeping water out while allowing heat and moisture to escape. With a waterproof rating of 10,000mm, fully seam-sealed construction, and DWR treatment, these pants are as waterproof as you'll ever need.

The Defender Pants feature a 500D Oxford Nylon outer layer that can withstand the toughest conditions in the bush and on the farm. The inner lining is made from 40D polyester tricot mesh, which regulates your body temperature by allowing heat and moisture to escape.

These trousers feature a gusseted crotch for extra reinforcement, breathability, and comfort. They also have full-length zips on each leg, making removing them easy while wearing boots. The adjustable waist belt and articulated knee provide maximum mobility and freedom of movement.

Whether you prefer pants or trousers, the Defender line has you covered. They are an excellent all-around waterproof layer for a wide range of outdoor activities, offering optimal protection, durability, and comfort. Combine 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.
