Product Information
Full details
The Fox Ranger Shorts are designed for adult male riders seeking versatile performance both on and off the trail. Their key benefit is offering trail-specific technology within a casual style, providing maximum mobility and durability. A potential caveat is that the relaxed fit might not be preferred by riders seeking a more aerodynamic or race-oriented cut. These shorts feature TruMotion® stretch ripstop fabric, a TruDri® lined waistband for moisture management, adjustable side-cinch waist, and DWR finish for water and dirt repellency, along with two zippered pockets.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for road cycling?
While primarily designed for mountain biking, their comfort and flexibility make them suitable for casual road rides. However, for aggressive road racing, more aerodynamic shorts might be preferred.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam length can vary slightly by size, but the Ranger Shorts are designed to offer good coverage, typically falling just above the knee to accommodate knee pads.
Can I wear padded liners under these shorts?
Yes, the relaxed fit is designed to accommodate most padded cycling liners comfortably underneath.
How do I adjust the waist size?
The shorts feature side-cinch adjusters that allow you to tighten or loosen the waist for a custom fit on the fly.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The zippered pockets are designed to hold essentials. While they can fit many standard smartphones, larger models may be a tight fit.
What does DWR stand for and what does it do?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a treatment applied to the fabric that causes water and dirt to bead up and roll off the surface, keeping you drier and the shorts cleaner.
What material are the Ranger Shorts made from?
The main body of the Fox Ranger Shorts is made from TruMotion® stretch ripstop polyester fabric.
Troubleshooting
Zipper sticking
Gently pull the zipper while applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Waistband not staying secure
Ensure the side-cinch adjusters are properly tightened. If they feel worn, contact Fox customer support for potential replacement parts.
Fabric losing water repellency
The DWR finish can degrade over time. Consider using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment designed for outdoor apparel to restore its water-repellent properties.
