Full details
These Fox Ranger Lined Shorts in Green are designed for young male riders seeking durable, comfortable, and functional trail shorts for summer biking. Their key benefit is the combination of technical stretch fabric for freedom of movement and a moisture-wicking recycled material for temperature regulation, all with a secure fit system. A potential caveat is that while built for performance, they might feel warm in extremely hot conditions due to the lining.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
The shorts feature moisture-wicking fabric to help with temperature regulation. However, the included lining can add a layer of warmth. For extremely hot conditions, consider removing the inner liner or opting for shorts without one.
How do I adjust the fit of the shorts?
The shorts feature a race-ratchet closure system. This allows for quick and secure on-the-fly adjustments by sliding the ratchet mechanism until the desired fit is achieved.
Can I remove the inner liner?
Yes, the inner liner is removable, offering added comfort and versatility. You can choose to wear the shorts with or without the liner based on your preference and riding conditions.
What is the purpose of the DWR finish?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish helps to shed moisture, dirt, and debris from the surface of the shorts. This keeps them drier and cleaner during rides in damp or dusty conditions.
How should I clean these shorts to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not iron.
What type of fabric are these shorts made from?
They are constructed from a technical stretch ripstop fabric, which is lightweight, durable, and designed for maximum mobility during cycling.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight/loose
Adjust the race-ratchet closure system for a custom fit. Ensure the size selected is appropriate for the wearer's measurements.
Moisture-wicking performance seems reduced
Ensure the shorts are clean and free of excessive dirt or residue. Follow care instructions to maintain fabric performance. Avoid fabric softeners.
Zipper on pockets is stiff
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
DWR finish is no longer effective
Reapply a DWR treatment designed for technical apparel following the product's instructions. This can typically be done after washing.
