Product Information
Full details
The Fox Ranger Water MTB Shorts are technical mountain bike shorts engineered for adult male riders who frequent trails in wet, muddy, or unpredictable conditions. They provide the ultimate benefit of a waterproof 3L rear panel that keeps you dry and comfortable when dealing with road spray and wet saddles, though riders should note that while the rear is waterproof, the rest of the shorts focus on breathability and moisture management via a DWR coating.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shorts fully waterproof?
They feature a waterproof 3L rear panel to protect against wheel spray, but the front panels are designed for breathability and are treated with DWR, not fully waterproof.
Do these shorts come with a chamois pad?
No, these are shell shorts. They are intended to be worn over your preferred mountain bike bib or liner.
How do I wash them?
Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Hang them to air dry to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the DWR coating.
Can I use these for other sports?
While optimized for MTB, the durable ripstop and water-resistant features make them suitable for hiking or other outdoor activities in damp conditions.
What is the benefit of the TruDri lining?
TruDri is a proprietary lining that moves sweat away from your body, preventing chafing and keeping you dry and comfortable.
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes, the ripstop fabric is engineered with stretch properties to ensure full range of motion during pedal strokes.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the shorts and apply a DWR-rejuvenating spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Waistband feels loose while riding
Ensure the goggle-strap adjustment tabs are pulled tight and properly locked in place before starting your ride.
Sweat buildup during warm rides
These are technical shorts for wet conditions; if the weather is warm and dry, consider a lighter, more breathable short in the Fox lineup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, utilize the goggle strap-inspired waist adjustment tabs located on the sides of the waistband to cinch the shorts to your desired tension. These shorts are designed to be worn over standard mountain bike bibs or liners, as they do not include an integrated pad. For care, wash the shorts in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the DWR coating. Always air dry the shorts away from direct heat to prevent damage to the technical fabric. Over time, if you notice water no longer beads up on the surface, use a technical DWR spray-on treatment to restore the factory-level protection.
