These shorts combine technical performance with a casual aesthetic, making them ideal for all-day trail sessions; however, they are optimized for light elements and dampness rather than heavy, sustained downpours.

FAQs
Are these shorts fully waterproof?
No, only the rear panel is constructed from a 3-layer waterproof material. The rest of the short is treated with a DWR coating for water resistance.
Do these shorts come with a chamois liner?
No, the Fox Ranger Water MTB Shorts are sold as an outer shell and do not include a padded liner.
How should I clean my shorts?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with technical cleaner. Do not bleach or use fabric softener, and hang to dry.
Can I wear these in the summer?
Because of the waterproof rear panel, they may be warmer than standard shorts, making them better suited for cooler or wet riding days.
What is the fit like?
They feature a standard mountain bike fit with a focus on articulation, adjustable at the waist for a custom feel.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the rear panel
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Re-apply a DWR spray treatment to the exterior of the shorts to restore water beading.
Waist adjustment slipping
Ensure the goggle-strap style buckle is fully seated and free of mud or grit that might prevent the teeth from gripping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a perfect fit, utilize the low-profile adjustment system located at the waist; pull the strap to tighten and secure it to your preferred tension before starting your ride. These shorts are compatible with standard mountain bike chamois liners. To maintain the waterproof properties and the DWR coating, wash in cold water using a technical detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent finish. Always air dry the shorts; high heat from a tumble dryer can damage the 3-layer waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the fabric.
