Plunging temperatures don't have to mean foregoing the thrills of mountain biking. The cosy Defend Winter Socks are a vital addition to your winter riding kit, keeping the bite of winter from freezing your toes. While the wool fibres trap warmth, polyester is in the mix to draw sweat away from the skin, ensuring feet remain dry and comfortable. When the going gets rough, the cushioned heel and toe areas provide some extra shock-absorption. There's also cushioning across the shin, fending off pedal strikes and debris kicked up off the trail. A rib-knit upper maintains a slip-free fit while the flat-stitch toe construction removes any irritation inside your shoes.
The Defend Pro Long Sleeve Jersey is the top to pick when you’re looking forward to the speed, thrills and adrenalin-rush of challenging mountain bike trails. TruDri Technology provides rapid sweat-wicking, pulling moisture off your skin to prevent you from getting drenched during your ride. It’s remarkably quick drying too, stopping any uncomfortable clinging that would otherwise cause discomfort. Next come the Cordura® panels. Deployed across the shoulders and elbows, these offer protection from those cuts and snags that are inevitable when swooping past trees and bushes lining the trail. While tough, they maintain flexibility too. You'll also benefit from the mountain-bike specific fit of the Defend Pro jersey. Not too tight but not too loose either, it's just right to give you the freedom to move quickly and react to the ever-changing terrain beneath your knobbly tyres. A drop-tail also keeps you covered when you get off the back of the saddle or when in a low and aggressive riding position. And sleeves also accommodate pads, ideal for challenging trails.
For those of you who love to take on more pedal-intensive mountain bike trails, the Enduro D3O Knee Sleeves provide lightweight protection and stacks of flexibility. The sleeves are made using a combination of moisture-wicking micro-Lycra® and mesh panels. The micro-Lycra® allows you to move easily, never restricting you as you pilot your bike along fast-flowing trails. At the same time, the mesh rear panels maintain excellent airflow and breathability, minimising sweat build-up. At the top and bottom of the sleeves, silicone grips prevent them from slipping around too. Innovative D3O® Impact Protection These pads feature removable D3O® Impact Protection, an innovative solution to protection for activities that require flexibility and impact absorption. The D3O® polymer pads are soft and flexible in normal use, allowing full mobility as you tackle technical trails. And yet upon impact, the foam immediately works to absorb and dissipate crash forces, far beyond that of ordinary foams. With the D3O® padding present, you benefit from protection without restrictions.
Get shredding and enjoy the quick-wicking, sweat-battling comfort of the 10" Ranger Socks. Mesh zones allow moisture to escape while also giving a snug and flexible fit. The exceptional breathability and ventilation are backed up by a flat-stitched toe area to boost the comfort even further. And with a rib-knit upper, your socks remain solidly in place as the terrain gets rougher. Lastly, cushioned heel and toe areas take out trail buzz.
Be it a day spent exploring the outdoors or cosying up inside, the Pinnacle Pullover Hoodie offers cool-weather comfort you can rely on.

While others might take a pass on riding when it’s wet, you’ll be hitting the trails and getting a big grin on your face. And it’s then the Defend 3L Water Jacket will prove its mettle. Rain protection is afforded by both its waterproof fabric and fully taped seams. Together they prevent any water from seeping inside, even during more prolonged periods of rain. Fox have also added a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, ensuring water and mud beads on the surface rather than soaking in. Not only does the Defend 3L keep the rain out, but thanks to excellent breathability the sweat you generate when riding won’t hang around inside either. And if you do find yourself needing a boost to airflow, underarm vents can be opened to let in some fresh cool air. Mountain bike ready features also include abrasion-resistant Cordura deployed in high wear areas. The hood is compatible with most MTB helmets, ideal for when the rain is particularly incessant. And wrist cuffs can be closed up to keep out the elements. Check the forecast. See rain. Still go for a ride.

While rain is kept out, excellent breathability also prevents sweat vapour from building up on the inside, ensuring comfort during hard-charging bike rides. A drawcord at the hem lets you cinch in the fit and seal out the elements while elastic cuffs give a flexible and comfortable fit. There are also two zipped hand pockets, just right for stashing away essentials you want easy access to.
