DFND is built for training that doesn’t stop when the pavement ends. This collection brings together DFND clothing designed for rucking, hiking, range days, and field PT—work that demands steady comfort, freedom of movement, and gear that holds up when conditions turn rough. 

Every piece reflects the same mindset behind DFND USA: equipment should earn its place through use, not hype. That means fits that move with you and construction that stands up to long days outside.

You’ll see that purpose right away in the way DFND jackets, shirts, pants, and tights work together as a system. These are outdoor training clothes built to adapt and keep you focused on the task in front of you. Designed, tested, and made in the USA, DFND USA gear is trusted by military units, first responders, and serious athletes who train year-round, not just when conditions are ideal.

Outdoor training puts different demands on legwear than a climate-controlled gym. Miles under load, uneven ground, kneeling, standing, and constant movement call for pants and tights that stay comfortable without becoming a distraction. DFND legwear is built around that reality.

DFND pants and tights are cut for mobility first. The fit supports deep lunges and sustained movement without binding or riding down. Pieces like the Aztec Pants are designed for long days outside, with an athletic cut that supports movement and an elastic comfort waistband. They’re built to handle the kind of training that doesn’t stay on flat ground. Two-side zipper pockets help keep essentials secure during training

Early mornings and sudden weather changes are part of outdoor training, and the fabric choices reflect that. Instead of trapping heat or staying damp, these pieces are meant to shed moisture and dry fast so you stay comfortable through the full session.

Taken together, the legwear anchors the collection as highly reliable tactical outdoor clothing that transitions cleanly from trail to training field without feeling like a compromise.

Upper-body layers in the outdoors collection are built to solve a common problem: staying protected without overheating or losing range of motion. DFND shirts form the base of that system, offering lightweight comfort and sun protection that works during long exposures outdoors.

These tops are designed to breathe under load and dry quickly when sweat or light weather hits. DFND shirts made with 100% poly, 4-way stretch performance Speed Tech fabric are designed for high-output outdoor training, combining lightweight comfort with antimicrobial, moisture-wicking performance that helps manage sweat and heat over long sessions. 

Outer layers bring the system together. A DFND jacket in this collection is about versatility. Lightweight shells like the Halo Windbreaker and Storm Lightweight Jacket are built for movement in shifting weather. DWR-treated ripstop fabrics help block wind and light moisture without trapping heat, making them easy layers to carry and rely on during long rucks or changing conditions. 

Because training conditions shift throughout the year, DFND outdoors gear is designed to layer easily, so you can adapt from cold mornings to warmer afternoons without changing your entire kit.

For colder ruck days or early starts, pairing your DFND shirts with Ax compression tights adds support and recovery benefits without bulk. The graduated compression story focuses on muscle support and post-training recovery, helping your legs feel fresher during extended efforts. 

The difference between gym gear and true outdoor training gear shows up fast once conditions get uncomfortable. DFND USA builds with that reality in mind. This is equipment that was tested on special forces trainees and became standard issue for thousands of military and first responder members.

Made in the USA and Berry compliant, DFND clothing is held to standards that matter when reliability is essential. Stitching, materials, and construction choices are driven by performance under stress. The result is gear that stays dependable all year round, through changing conditions.

When the ground is uneven, the load is heavy, and the day runs long, you want gear that disappears into the background and lets you focus on execution. DFND USA outdoors apparel is built for exactly that.

From base layers to outer shells, DFND delivers a complete system of outdoor training clothes designed to move. These pieces work together for rucking, hiking, range days, and field PT—training that demands more than casual apparel can deliver. Because the collection is designed as a system, select DFND outdoors pieces are available through Bundle & Save offers for building out a full training kit.

Explore the full collection above and build a setup that’s ready for real work, real conditions, and real progress. DFND is gear you can trust when training moves beyond the gym and into the field.
