FAQs
Are these shorts padded?
No, the Fox Racing Ranger Mountain Bike Shorts do not include an integrated chamois or padding, though they are designed to be worn over standard cycling liners.
Can I wear these for activities other than cycling?
Yes, thanks to their relaxed fit and versatile style, they are suitable for hiking and general outdoor casual wear.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Check your waist measurement against the brand size guide. Because these feature an adjustable cinch, they offer a forgiving fit within the size range.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets have zip closures for security, but the fabric itself is designed for moisture-wicking and debris shedding rather than total waterproof submersion.
What is the best way to clean off mud?
Allow the mud to dry and brush it off, then machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water to maintain fabric integrity.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too loose while riding
Utilize the adjustable side cinch system to tighten the waistband fit before starting your ride.
Moisture management feels less effective over time
Wash the shorts to remove dirt and oils clogging the fabric pores; ensure no fabric softener was used during the laundry cycle.
DWR finish is no longer shedding mud
The DWR coating can wear off over time; consider applying a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-repellent properties.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly durable ripstop fabric resistant to trail tears

- Water-repellent DWR coating handles trail debris well
- Versatile style suitable for off-bike use
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, utilize the side cinch system to customize the waist tension before your ride begins; simply pull the tabs until snug but comfortable. These shorts are compatible with most standard cycling chamois liners (not included), which can be worn underneath for added comfort during longer endurance rides. For care, wash the shorts in cold water with mild detergent to preserve the DWR finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the moisture-wicking technology of the TruDri fabric. Always hang dry if possible, as high heat from standard dryers can degrade the elastic properties and the DWR coating over time.
