These are three good defensive heads.  The first is the Warrior Revolution.  The second is the STX X2.  The third is the DeBeer Wizard.  They all have the good makings of a defensive head: a large oversized sidewall, a wide face, a stiff design, and a high scoop angle.  I recommend any of these heads for defense.  I currently use an X2 and have had no problems with it.  My friends who also play defense have revolutions and Wizards and they are extremely happy with them
These are MPG Hitman 5.0 shoulder pads.  I recommend a good pair of shoulder pads for defensemen only for the reason that you may have to block shots with your body.
These are MPG Hitman 5.0 arm guards.  I recommend arm guards instead of elbow pads because of the range of motion.  
These are RPM gloves from warrior.  I personally don't like Warrior Gloves because of the way the thumb is incorporated into the glove.  I recommend Brine Gloves like the Ventilator and X-Factor.
These are F15 shafts from Brine. Defensemen's shafts are longer than Attack and midfield shafts.  I recommend a Brine F15 for defensemen. 
This is a CPRO helmet from Cascade.  I recommend a CLH for non JV and above players.  For JV and above I recommend a Cascade CPRO, a Brine Triad, or a Gait Field helmet.
I recommend Bags for all players and stick bags for defensemen so you can keep your sticks pads and balls organized
