Troubleshooting
Ratchet closure not holding securely
Check the ratchet mechanism for trapped trail debris or mud and clean it with a soft brush; ensure the belt webbing is correctly threaded.
DWR coating losing effectiveness
Wash the pants to remove dirt clogging the fabric pores, then consider applying a DWR re-waterproofing spray specifically designed for technical apparel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fox Defend pants, use the race ratchet closure to dial in your preferred waist fit before hitting the trail. These pants are designed to be compatible with most standard mountain bike knee pads. For care, it is recommended to machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Air drying is preferred to maintain the integrity of the stretch material and the protective coatings.
