North Sails Defender SOLOTEX® chinos
The North Sails North Defender chinos are built for men who need smart, hardwearing trousers that move with them through a full working day. Made with SOLOTEX® fibre, the fabric combines a clean, tailored appearance with genuine stretch and recovery, so the fit holds its shape whether you are on deck, on site or representing your brand in front of clients. The navy blue colourway is versatile enough to pair with branded polos, fleeces or softshells, making these a practical choice for crew uniforms and corporate workwear programmes alike. The extended size range, from 44 to 58, means you can outfit a whole team without compromise. These are chinos that look considered without getting in the way of the job.
