Product Information
Full details
The Fox Defend 3L Water Jacket is a high-performance outer layer designed for adult mountain bikers and trail riders who require robust weather protection in harsh conditions. Featuring a three-layer construction with fully-taped seams and a durable DWR finish, this jacket excels at keeping riders dry while resisting trail-side abrasion. While its heavy-duty design offers superior protection, it may feel bulkier or warmer than lightweight windbreakers when riding in milder, dry climates.

Will the hood fit over a full-face helmet?
The hood is designed to fit over most standard mountain bike helmets; compatibility with full-face models may vary by helmet size.
What should I do if the DWR coating wears off?
You can restore the water-repelling properties by using a dedicated technical fabric re-proofer available at outdoor retail stores.
Can I store smaller items in the jacket?
Yes, the jacket features two zippered hand pockets designed to securely hold small essentials like keys or a phone.
Are the zippers truly waterproof?

Troubleshooting

The DWR coating has worn off; clean the jacket and apply a fresh DWR water-repellent spray.

Check the zipper track for mud or debris and clean with a soft brush; do not force the zipper if obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fox Defend 3L Water Jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Adjustment: Utilize the hook-and-loop cuffs to create a snug seal over or under your gloves. Adjust the hood tension to keep it stable during movement.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use specialized technical garment cleaners to maintain the DWR coating.
- Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR spray if you notice water no longer beads on the outer surface.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it folded when damp, as this can trap moisture inside the layers.
