In addition to the standard features, like powder cuffs and vents, the Defense Cargo pant offers fully taped seams for extra waterproofing. Another helpful feature was the double layer in the seat, which is awesome for sitting on the lift or in the snow while binding in. The built-in knee pads are an added luxury that any level snowboarder can appreciate. Beginners could benefit greatly from this feature, as it could lessen the impact on the knees when falling. These also offer a zipper interface system, which is great for synching jacket to pants to keep the snow out. Keep in mind that you usually need to purchase a jacket by the same manufacturer in order for the interface to work properly.
