When you're mountain biking you don't want any distractions from your kit, leaving you to focus on fast lines and fun times. And with the Defend Cycling Trousers, that's not going to be a problem. Starting with the TruMotion all-way stretch fabric, this technical material offers up excellent flexibility, ideal for pedalling up to the trailhead, and with easy mobility so you can fully enjoy the descents. The race-bred fit sees the legs tapered to reduce snags, prevent chain catch and prevent speed-sapping flapping. Tough Cordura fabric at the knee panels also gives a welcome boost to abrasion resistance. Mountain biking comfort is further bolstered by the combination of TruDri fabrics, mesh panels and laser-cut ventilation to the front and back. TruDri is very quick to wick away sweat before you feel any discomfort and the mesh zones and vents allow for cool airflow on a warm day. You'll also be pleased to find the pants have a Durable Water Repellent finish. This will shed dirt and moisture when you encounter damp trails. The proven race-ratchet closure provides easy adjustment and keeps the pants from slipping while you move and pedal.
