FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the dissolvable mesh body material?
The dissolvable mesh body material is the lightest and most ventilated material in the Fox Racing line, designed to maximize airflow and keep you cool.
How do I adjust the fit of the shorts?
The shorts feature a proven Race Ratchet closure system, which allows for secure fastening and quick, on-the-fly adjustments to achieve a precise fit.
Are these shorts suitable for long-distance riding?
Yes, they are designed for comfort and performance across various disciplines, including adventure and XC riding, with features like bonded seams and a stretch rear yoke that enhance comfort for longer durations.
Can I store my phone in the pockets?

What is the inseam and outseam length?
The inseam is 9.75 inches and the outseam is 19 inches, based on a size 32.
How should I care for these shorts to ensure longevity?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use a mild detergent, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low or hang dry.
Are these shorts waterproof?
These shorts are designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, not for waterproofing. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the Race Ratchet closure for a precise fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consult the size chart for exchange options.
Zipper pockets are difficult to close or open
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Material feels overly warm for the conditions
These shorts are optimized for ventilation in warm weather. For cooler conditions, consider layering or a different short model.
