The Bull-It SR6 Cafe Blue is a regular fit, dark-blue five-
pocket denim jean with knee and hip pockets for armour,
and a water repellent finish. Covec protection over 60%
of the interior is resistant to abrasion and normal wear
and tear, and won’t weaken over time when subjected
to moisture (and washing). A thermal barrier keeps
you warm in winter and cool in summer, and an inner
mesh layer draws moisture away from your skin.
