Product Information
Full details
The Fox Flexair Race MTB Pants are designed for performance-driven mountain bikers who prioritize breathability and unrestricted movement during long climbs and aggressive descents. Featuring premium polyester construction with specialized moisture-wicking and stretch technologies, these pants provide a tailored, lightweight feel that stays out of your way while riding. However, users should note that the lightweight fabric is optimized for mobility rather than heavy-duty abrasion resistance, making them better suited for trail riding than extreme downhill racing.

FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
No, they feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating which sheds light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I wear knee pads under these pants?
Yes, they are designed to fit over most trail and enduro-specific knee pads due to their 4-way stretch material.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and hang dry to maintain the integrity of the technical fabrics.
Do these pants have pockets?
Yes, they feature bonded zip hand pockets that are designed to hold small essentials securely.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, the pants are constructed with TruMotion all-way stretch fabric for maximum mobility on the bike.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading off the fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off through washing and use. Wash the pants and apply a technical DWR revitalizing spray.
Race-ratchet closure feels loose
Check for debris or mud inside the ratchet mechanism and rinse with clean water to ensure the teeth catch properly.

- 4-way stretch fabric offers excellent range of motion
- Moisture-wicking properties keep the rider cool
- Secure race-ratchet closure stays locked in place

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fox Flexair pants maintain their performance characteristics, follow these guidelines:
Fitment: The pants utilize a race-inspired fit. Always use the race-ratchet closure to tighten the waist after pulling the pants on to ensure they don't shift during aggressive movement.
Compatibility: These pants are designed to be worn with or without thin knee pads, though the tapered cut may feel snug over bulkier, heavy-duty armor.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Always hang dry to preserve the integrity of the stretch fabric and water-repellent finish.
- Reapply a DWR spray treatment periodically if you notice water no longer beads up on the surface.
