Product Information
Full details
The Fox Ranger Shorts are designed for mountain bikers and trail enthusiasts who prioritize a blend of technical performance and casual aesthetics. These shorts offer excellent durability and moisture management thanks to their stretch ripstop fabric and DWR finish, making them ideal for long rides or post-ride social outings. While they provide a secure and customizable fit, riders should note that the relaxed, zipperless design is intended specifically for an active riding position and may feel different than standard casual trousers.

FAQs
Are these shorts padded?

Can I wear these for casual hiking?

How should I wash the shorts to keep the DWR finish working?
Wash in cold water, avoid fabric softeners, and hang dry to maintain the effectiveness of the water-repellent coating.
What does the 'Blue - 28' denote in the title?
This refers to the color of the shorts (Blue) and the specific men's waist size in inches (28).
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the hand pockets feature zip closures, and the utility pocket includes an internal organizer to keep your essential items secure.
Why is there no zipper in the front?
The zipperless design is intended to increase comfort and eliminate irritation while in the bent-at-the-waist position required for mountain biking.
Troubleshooting
Waist feels loose while riding
Utilize the adjustable side cinch system to tighten the waist until the shorts sit securely on your hips.
Water and dirt are soaking into the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off; consider re-applying a technical DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Difficulty accessing items in the utility pocket
The utility pocket includes an internal organizer; ensure items are placed in the dedicated compartments to prevent them from shifting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fox Ranger Shorts, utilize the side cinch adjusters to establish your preferred fit before beginning your ride. Because these shorts feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, it is recommended to wash them in cold water with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the water-repellent properties over time. Always hang-dry your shorts to preserve the fabric integrity and stretch performance. Ensure all zippers are closed during washing to prevent damage to the pockets or the material during the spin cycle.
