FAQs
What is the main benefit of the TruDri® lined waistband?
The TruDri® technology is designed to actively move moisture (sweat) away from your skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate. This helps keep you feeling cooler and drier during strenuous activity.
How do I adjust the fit of the shorts?
The shorts feature side-cinch waist adjusters. You can easily pull these to tighten or loosen the waistband for a personalized and secure fit on the fly.
Are these shorts suitable for casual wear, not just cycling?
Yes, the Fox Ranger Shorts feature a relaxed fit and casual styling that makes them perfectly suitable for wear off the bike, such as running errands or socializing after a ride.
What does the DWR finish do?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This finish on the fabric helps shed light moisture, dirt, and trail debris, keeping the shorts cleaner and lighter in wet or muddy conditions.
How should I wash my Fox Ranger Shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not bleach or dry clean.
Can I wear padded cycling shorts underneath?
Yes, the relaxed fit of the Fox Ranger Shorts is designed to be compatible with most padded cycling undershorts for added comfort and support on longer rides.
What material are the shorts made from?
The Fox Ranger Shorts are primarily made from TruMotion® stretch ripstop polyester fabric, which offers a good balance of mobility, durability, and performance.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose or too tight.
Utilize the side-cinch waist adjusters to fine-tune the fit for optimal comfort and security. Ensure the traditional snap closure is also fastened correctly.
Shorts feel damp or sticky after a ride.
This can be due to heavy sweating. The TruDri® waistband is designed to move moisture, but extreme conditions may test its limits. Ensure proper washing with mild detergent (no fabric softener) to maintain wicking capabilities. Consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath.
DWR finish is no longer repelling water effectively.
The DWR treatment can wear off over time. Reapply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions to restore water and stain repellency.
Zipper on pockets is difficult to operate.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These shorts are designed for adult cyclists and are compatible with most padded cycling undershorts. They feature a relaxed fit suitable for various riding styles, including mountain biking, trail riding, and general cycling.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your shorts:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the DWR treatment and affect moisture-wicking properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Do not bleach or dry clean.
- DWR Maintenance: For best results, periodically re-apply a DWR treatment (available from outdoor gear retailers) after washing to refresh the water and stain-repellent properties of the fabric. Follow the product's specific reapplication instructions.
