TROUSERS
Motocross Trousers by Fox – Sizing, Fit & Buying Guide
This category brings together motocross trousers for riders who need purpose-built protection on the track and on the trail. Motocross trousers are reinforced riding pants worn over boots and knee protection, built from abrasion-resistant textile with heat-resistant panels at the inner knee, and they are made for motocross, enduro and off-road riding rather than everyday wear. At Foxracing.si you will find motocross trousers for adults and younger riders, in cuts and weights that suit both weekend practice and race weekends.
What you will find in this category
- Race-level motocross trousers – lightweight, heavily vented and cut close to the body, with four-way stretch panels for maximum freedom of movement in the attack position.
- All-round trail and practice trousers – more robust main fabrics and a slightly roomier cut, made for long days of riding and frequent washing.
- Youth motocross trousers – the same construction and reinforcements scaled down to smaller waist sizes for young riders.
- Kit-matching trousers – colourways designed to pair with a matching jersey and gloves for a complete gear set.
How to choose motocross trousers
- Size and waist closure: motocross trousers are sized by waist in even numbers. Choose the size that sits snugly with the ratchet or hook-and-loop closure roughly in the middle of its adjustment range, so you still have room to tighten or loosen it.
- Knee brace or knee guard compatibility: if you ride with braces, look for trousers described as knee-brace compatible – they have a wider, pre-shaped knee and extra room in the thigh. With slim knee guards a standard race cut is usually enough.
- Inner knee panels: leather or heat-resistant synthetic panels protect the fabric where it contacts the bike and the exhaust area, and add grip against the shrouds.
- Ventilation: perforated panels and mesh inserts make a big difference in summer heat; heavier, less-vented trousers are more comfortable in cold and mud.
- Stretch and articulation: pre-bent knees and stretch zones at the crotch, waist and behind the knee keep the trousers from pulling when you stand on the pegs.
- Boot cut: the lower leg must be wide and long enough to go over motocross boots without riding up.
- Riding style: track and racing favour light, vented trousers; enduro and trail riding reward tougher fabrics and reinforced seams.

FAQ
Do motocross trousers go inside or outside the boots?
Always outside. The leg is cut wide and long so it slips over the boot shaft, which keeps dirt and roost out of the boot and lets the leather knee panel sit correctly against the bike.
What size motocross trousers should I order?
Go by your waist measurement in centimetres or inches rather than your usual jeans size, and compare it with the brand's size chart. Riding trousers should be snug at the waist because a loose fit shifts around under the jersey and belt line.
Can I wear knee braces under motocross trousers?
Yes, but only in trousers with enough volume in the knee and thigh. Brace-compatible models have a pre-shaped knee; in a very slim race cut a bulky brace can restrict movement.
How should I wash motocross trousers?
Close all fasteners, wash cool on a gentle cycle without fabric softener, and let them air dry. High heat and tumble drying can damage stretch panels, prints and bonded seams.
Do I need special trousers, or will jeans do?
Jeans have no heat protection, no stretch and no reinforced knee, and they tear easily in a crash. Dedicated motocross trousers are the safer and far more comfortable choice.
