The Fox Racing Ranger Utility Shorts have not been misnamed. The level of utility and comfort these mountain bike shorts offer will make you wish you had always owned a few pairs. Made from the sort of high quality material you have come to expect from Fox Racing, the Ranger Utility Shorts have a stretchiness that makes it possible to have the slim-fitted shorts work and move with you when you are wrestling your bike down a burly mountain. The cut is trail-specific and is enhanced by the removable padded liner which will prove useful if your riding tends toward more XC-oriented distances. But make sure you want to keep the shorts before cutting out the liner since no refund will be possible if the liner has been altered. Adding another layer of versatility, the utility pockets are cleverly designed and positioned which means that these are pockets that you will actually use. One pocket is zippered for the things you absolutely can’t lose on a ride, and one isn’t so you can access those things more easily. The DWR finish on the materials means they’ll shed mud, grim and water without a second thought. The waist adjustment is super easy and the TruDri waistband wicks moisture away from your middle. The Fox Racing Ranger Utility Shorts will quickly become your go-to trail riding shorts in summer conditions.
