When you're kicking up the dirt on your mountain bike there's plenty of wear and tear - close scrapes with tree branches, overgrown trails tugging on your jersey and the inevitable spills. The Defend Long Sleeve Jersey tackles this head-on via specifically placed abrasion-resistant zones to ensure excellent durability. You'll also enjoy the comfort of TruDri technology. This fabric design moves sweat quickly off the body to leave you dry even in warmer weather and during intense riding sessions. The MTB-fit also offers optimal mobility and coverage when you’re in a trail-attacking riding position.
The windproof protection of the Ranger Wind Jacket comes via its 50g Cordura™ Ripstop construction. While keeping off the bite of windchill on fast-flowing trails it’s also tough enough for the rough and tumble of mountain biking. You’ll also benefit from the extra protection afforded by a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, preventing light rain and muddy splashes from soaking in. When you're on your bike, the MTB-specific fit allows you to react quickly to terrain changes without ever feeling restricted. Elastic cuffs and hem also provide a secure and comfortable fit. Zippered hand pockets add space for your essentials and the jacket is also packable into the left-hand pocket.
With its Polartec® Alpha insulation, created for the demands of high-intensity exercise, the Defend Fire Alpha Jacket is all about keeping your temperature regulated. Despite its low bulk and low weight, it does a brilliant job of holding onto body heat. However, it’s also superb at preventing overheating and sweat build-up, allowing excess heat to escape as your effort levels rise and fall with the terrain. The result is greater comfort on the bike. The Defend Fire is also made to be tough. The outer is made from a durable stretch Cordura® material, more than a match for the demands of mountain biking. The stretch fit and MTB-specific cut also ensure you’re never held back from throwing your bike around the trails. And then there’s the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, shrugging off mud and water kicked up off damp trails.
