Available in Wolf Grey and OD Green across multiple sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Move on Patrol\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Defender Series Pants are cut with articulated knees and running gussets throughout the leg, meaning the fabric moves with the wearer rather than pulling against natural stride and crouch positions. For officers and professionals who spend long shifts on their feet or transitioning between a vehicle and foot patrol, that freedom of movement reduces fatigue and keeps the fit consistent across a full range of motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVentilation for Warm-Weather Duty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVented mesh pockets and ventilation in multiple key areas allow airflow where heat builds during active wear.
