FOX Defend Kevlar Pants
The first thing that stands out about these trousers, is their cool ‘heritage’ motocross style. It’s clear that FOX have gone to town on the features list. We like the high back panel which sits snugly against your back when pedalling, keeping the worst of the grime out, and airy ventilation holes in the inner leg ensure you don’t boil in the bag.
Tough Kevlar knee sections sit over your knee pads and should work well to prolong the life of the trousers if you frequently send it into the dirt. The rest of the panels are super stretchy and fitted calf panels really taper in at the legs to stop any excess flapping around the ankles. Twin zippered pockets keep the contents secure, but keys and multi-tools were a little uncomfortable due to the open mesh lining.
The FOX Defend Kevlar are a solid, tough pair of pants, great for bike park and regular crashers, but with enough flex for all-day missions. They are expensive though.
