FAQs
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, the Fox Ranger Shorts feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which repels light moisture, dirt, and debris. They are not fully waterproof and will soak through in heavy or prolonged rain.
Can I wear padded cycling shorts underneath?
Yes, the relaxed fit of the Fox Ranger Shorts is designed to comfortably accommodate padded cycling liners or chamois shorts for added comfort and performance.
How do I clean the shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
What does 'TruMotion®' refer to?
TruMotion® is Fox's proprietary stretch fabric technology, designed to offer maximum mobility and superior durability, allowing for unrestricted movement during cycling.
What is the purpose of the TruDri® waistband?
The TruDri® waistband is engineered to wick moisture away from your skin, helping to keep you cooler and drier during physical activity.
How do the waist adjusters work?
The side-cinch waist adjusters are typically integrated tabs or straps on the sides of the waistband that allow you to easily tighten or loosen the fit on the go for optimal comfort and security.
Are these shorts suitable for all types of cycling?
Yes, the shorts are designed for trail-specific technology but their relaxed fit and durable construction make them suitable for various cycling disciplines, including mountain biking, cross-country, and general trail riding.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels loose or too tight
Use the side-cinch waist adjusters to tighten or loosen the fit. Ensure the traditional snap closure is also securely fastened.
Shorts feel damp or sticky
This may be due to sweat. The TruDri® waistband helps wick moisture, but in high exertion, additional ventilation might be needed. Ensure the shorts are washed according to care instructions to maintain fabric performance.
Zipper pockets are difficult to close
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. Gently try to move the zipper. If persistent, a small amount of lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) can be applied to the zipper teeth.
DWR finish is no longer effective
The DWR coating can wear off over time. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment designed for outdoor apparel after washing according to care instructions.
