I wore the defender line last year and loved it. I tried to post pics of some different positions while riding. I have had the Polaris Race jackets, and have used KLIM Freeride pants the last few years before Slednecks and it's all pretty comparable for my style of riding. I don't buy anything that's insulated mostly to keep the mobility factor for racing, but I wear all that stuff freeriding and it performs flawlessly. Just layer up and I think you will like it. Holds up well to the elements, I didn't have any issues even with hitting branches/handlebars/etc... And it's considerably less spendy than some other options out there. Hope this helps
I have the Bandit Coat and Pants. The coat is great, but I hate the pants. I get soaked every ride and they're starting to get little tears all over and I have no clue what I could have done to have them rip. I'll probably get some Klim pants or something else this year. Wasn't too impressed by the pant.
