BUILT FOR COLD, WET WEATHER
When the weather turns cold, wet and blustery, The Defender gives you the protection you need to stay in the field.
This waterproof, insulated hunting cap is designed to transition from cool conditions into the kind of cold, wet weather where rain and snow become part of the hunt. The adjustable design lets you cinch the cap for a comfortable fit, while the convertible ear flaps give you two ways to wear it.
PROTECTION WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS
WATERPROOF CONSTRUCTION — Helps keep rain and snow from getting through when conditions turn wet.
INSULATED FOR COLD WEATHER — Adds warmth when temperatures drop.
ADJUSTABLE FIT — Cinch the cap for a comfortable, secure fit as conditions change.
CONVERTIBLE EAR FLAPS — Wear the ear flaps down for additional protection or fold them inside for a more traditional cap style.
ONE-SIZE DESIGN — Adjustable construction provides a flexible fit.
BUILT FOR THE UPLAND FIELD
The Defender is made for the days when the weather isn't cooperating but the hunt is still worth it.
Pair it with The Trifecta Game or Trifecta coat and The Perfecta Outer Pants for a complete cold-weather system designed to keep you protected from head to toe.
WHY WE BUILT IT
We've spent decades hunting upland birds, and we know that some of the best hunts happen when the weather gets tough.
The Defender was built for those days—the cold, wet and blustery days when you need reliable protection and aren't ready to head home.
