Product Information
Full details
The Fox Racing Ranger Short is designed for female mountain bikers who prioritize versatility, offering a high-performance experience on the bike while maintaining a casual aesthetic for post-ride relaxation. Crafted from durable, 4-way stretch ripstop nylon that incorporates at least 85% recycled materials, these shorts provide excellent mobility and longevity on technical trails. The primary caveat for riders is that these shorts are sold as an unlined shell, so those requiring integrated chamois padding for long-distance comfort will need to source a separate liner short.

FAQs
Does this short come with a chamois pad?
No, this version of the Fox Racing Ranger Short is an unlined shell and does not include a chamois.
Can these shorts be machine washed?
Yes, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Air drying is highly recommended to extend the life of the fabric.
What does the 4-way stretch feature do?
It allows the fabric to stretch both horizontally and vertically, providing full range of motion for pedaling and bike handling.
Is the material waterproof?
The material is ripstop nylon, which is durable and lightweight, but it is not marketed as a fully waterproof garment.
How do I adjust the waist?
The shorts utilize a race-ratchet closure system, which works similarly to a ski boot buckle to provide precise, secure adjustments.
Troubleshooting
Race-ratchet buckle becomes stiff or difficult to open
Clean any accumulated mud or trail grit from the buckle mechanism using a soft brush and rinse with water.
Fabric snagging on trail obstacles
While the ripstop nylon is durable, avoid riding through extremely thorny or sharp overgrown brush to maintain the finish of the fabric.
Shorts feel loose during ride
Utilize the race-ratchet closure for micro-adjustments to pull the waistband tighter to your preferred fit.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent freedom of movement due to 4-way stretch
- Secure and adjustable race-ratchet closure

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the race-ratchet closure is snug but not restrictive before beginning your ride. Since these shorts do not feature an integrated liner, pair them with your preferred mountain bike base layer or chamois to ensure comfort on long rides. For care, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the synthetic ripstop fabric. Always hang-dry the shorts to prevent heat damage to the stretch panels and zippers; avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can strip the technical properties of the nylon material.
