SHORT PANTS
Men's Short Pants – Fox Shorts for Riding and Everyday
This category gathers the men's short pants from Fox available at Foxracing.si, from mountain bike shorts built for trail and enduro riding to casual shorts you can wear off the bike. It is aimed at riders who need durable, ventilated shorts with freedom of movement, and at anyone looking for relaxed summer shorts in Fox styling.
What this category covers
- MTB trail and enduro shorts – longer cut shorts in abrasion-resistant stretch fabric, designed to sit over knee pads and to stay in place in the saddle.
- Lightweight riding shorts – thinner, highly breathable shorts with laser-cut vents for hot days, XC and long climbs.
- Liner shorts – inner shorts with a chamois pad worn under baggy shorts for padding and moisture control on longer rides.
- Casual and walk shorts – cotton or cotton-blend shorts for everyday wear, travel and the pits.
- Boardshorts and swim shorts – quick-drying shorts for the beach, pool and summer holidays.
- Fleece and sweat shorts – soft jersey or fleece shorts for lounging, warm-ups and post-ride comfort.
How to choose men's shorts
- Waist size and closure: check the size chart against your waist measurement. Riding shorts usually use a ratchet or micro-adjust waist closure so you can fine-tune the fit; casual shorts rely on a belt loop or elastic waist.
- Inseam and length: MTB shorts are cut long so the hem meets the top of a knee pad. Casual and boardshorts are typically shorter; a mid-length inseam is the safest all-round choice.
- Fabric: polyester and nylon with elastane give stretch, fast drying and abrasion resistance; ripstop and heavier weaves add durability for enduro; cotton blends are softer for off-bike wear. Water-repellent finishes help in damp conditions.
- Ventilation: perforations, mesh panels or zipped vents make a big difference in summer heat.
- Pockets: zipped hand pockets keep keys and a phone secure while riding; open pockets are fine for casual use.
- Liner or no liner: decide whether you want a separate chamois liner underneath. A liner adds padding and reduces chafing on rides over an hour.
- Knee pad compatibility: if you ride with pads, choose a cut with room in the thigh and a longer leg opening.

FAQ
Do Fox MTB shorts include a liner?
Some models come with a removable chamois liner and others are sold as an outer short only. Check the product description of the individual model, and add separate liner shorts if the pair you choose does not include one.
Can I wear knee pads under these shorts?
Yes. Trail and enduro shorts are cut long and wide enough at the leg opening to sit over most knee pads. For a clean fit, size the shorts with your pads on.
What size should I order?
Order by your measured waist size and compare it with the size chart on the product page. If you are between sizes, the waist adjustment system on most riding shorts lets you tighten a slightly larger pair.
How should I wash riding shorts?
Wash them cold on a gentle cycle with similar colours, close all zips and fasteners first, and skip fabric softener, which can clog technical fabrics. Air dry rather than tumble dry to protect stretch fibres and any water-repellent finish.
Can MTB shorts be worn as casual shorts?
They can, but the technical cut is looser in the thigh and longer in the leg. For daily wear, a cotton-blend walk short or boardshort is usually more comfortable.
