FAQs

Are the shorts truly waterproof?

The shorts feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, which helps them shed light moisture, dirt, and debris. They are water-resistant, not fully waterproof, meaning they can handle light rain or splashes but may not keep you dry in prolonged heavy downpours.

Can I remove the liner permanently?

The liner is designed to be removable. However, Fox Head Clothing states that if you need to return the shorts, the liner must be unaltered. It's advised not to cut or permanently attach the liner if you might consider a return.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Fox Head Clothing. Measure your waist and inseam and compare these measurements to the chart. The adjustable side cinch allows for some flexibility within your chosen size.

What is TruDri® technology?

TruDri® is a technology used in the waistband that wicks moisture away from your skin. It helps to keep you cool and dry by moving sweat to the outer surface of the fabric where it can evaporate more easily.

Can I wear these shorts for activities other than mountain biking?

Yes, the Ranger shorts feature casual styling and a relaxed fit, making them suitable for a variety of outdoor activities and casual wear, not just mountain biking.

How often should I wash the shorts?

It is recommended to wash the shorts after each use, especially after rides where you sweat heavily or the shorts get dirty. This helps maintain hygiene and prolong the life of the fabric and its treatments.

What is the difference between the liner and separate padded shorts?

The included liner has a dual-density chamois for comfort. You can choose to wear this liner or substitute it with your own preferred padded cycling shorts or underwear, provided they fit compatibly within the outer shorts.

Troubleshooting

Liner feels uncomfortable or causes chafing.

Ensure the liner is correctly positioned and that the fit of the outer shorts is properly adjusted. Try washing the liner before first use, as this can soften the material. If the issue persists and the liner is unaltered, consider if a different size or style of liner might be a better fit for your anatomy.

Shorts feel too loose or too tight despite size selection.

Utilize the adjustable side cinch feature for on-the-fly adjustments. If the shorts are consistently too loose or too tight at their maximum/minimum adjustment, consider trying a different size based on the sizing chart.

Fabric is not shedding water effectively.

The DWR treatment can wear off over time. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment spray designed for outdoor apparel to restore water repellency. Ensure the shorts are clean, as dirt and residue can impede water repellency.

Seams are fraying or showing wear.

Inspect the shorts for any loose threads and carefully trim them with scissors. Avoid excessive friction or snagging on rough surfaces during rides. Follow care instructions strictly to prolong seam life.
