Good review, especially when you tell us your height, weight and waist size - the more detail the better. It can be difficult to know which pants to buy because you can't just walk into most bike shops and try them on. Thanks

Cheers! And yea, like Rich mentioned, we do free returns on apparel as long as it has the tags and hasn't been ridden in! That way you can make sure it's the right fit. - Dan at Fanatik

I’m 6’ usually wear 34 inseam. I ordered the Defend Pro 38. Should these fit? I don’t recall seeing an option for the inseam.

Dyneema has a natural cool touch and is extremely light. Excellent pick for trail riding. Enjoyed the comparison, well done! Greetings from Dyneema - The Worlds Strongest Fiber.

Was so glad you guys said the waist size and height. I really liked the deffend pros and loved how they fit on the guy exactly wut I was after.

Great review ya guys ! I like that fact that you had different rider body profiles from Hulk size bodies to smaller bodies. I'm more on the Hulk size like Sam and those Fox Rangers looked DIALED on him. Thanks for the review.

Exactly.. Since the early 90’s I’ve used MX or BMX jerseys and pants for DH races and rides. As recent when MTB gear became more available I’ve transitioned.. I still wear MX jerseys because of the variety of colors.. Just don’t care to look like I’m Outback jack hiking in the current MTB focused granola gear..

Combined the pants in this video cost as much as my ZEB. This is why I ride in Costco pants.

So you kids know about Steely Dan, huh. And you all for sure know about the man of steel Dan. The FOX ride gear engineers originally weren't gonna use any Cordura fabrics then it dawned on them that there was good chance that Dan over a Fanatik would be product testing their stuff. So now whenever a world cup DH racer crashes while in FOX riding gear and is able to get right back up and continue unscathed the only words coming out of their mouth is, "thank you Dan!"

T'ain't that the truth! Sometimes you can catch a glimpse of Greg Minnaar or Jackson Goldstone uttering those very words after a crash, although it can be hard to see it through their full face. - Dan P.

Great video, I'm probably looking at getting a pair of defend pants, I'm about 5'10" and 160lbs, I wear 30 32 jeans so I'm a little worried about the sizing, the 30 would be better for the waist size but the length is only 28", the 32 has a 34" waist which would probably be a little big, but the length is a little longer, any insight into what size I should get, I don't really want to buy a pair and then have it be the wrong size, Thanks

@BNGNSTY Жыл бұрын

Can you fit kneepads okay underneath the flex air pros? Looking pretty tight in there.. maybe the lopro sleeve type?

@MrDefiant17 Жыл бұрын

yes, you can, im riding in flexair with fox kneepads LAUNCH D3O, perfect fit (Size of flexair is 30, im 5,9). Lopro sleeve type good for Specialized trail pants (bcs they are tooo tight)

@superawesomefuntimego 2 жыл бұрын

Curious how these Fox pants fit. I am a 34 waist with 32" inseam, but with my current Troy Lee Skyline Pants, I wear a 32 as the fit is spot on as in the length and not too tight in the waist/hips.

@FanatikBikeCo 2 жыл бұрын

They are pretty spot on with sizing. 34 is the move

Great video, am curious to know which knee pads were worn to know what fits under. Ie. hard (poc vpd) or soft (g-form) knee pad styles.

@FanatikBikeCo Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Pretty wide variety. Mostly soft kneepads of various models. Here's the ones I remember: www.fanatikbike.com/products/ixs-trigger-knee-shin-pad www.fanatikbike.com/products/troy-lee-designs-raid-knee-guard - Dan at Fanatik

Five Ten Trailcross XT: www.fanatikbike.com/products/five-ten-trailcross-xt?variant=40232772436014 One thing I've found is that the toe box is narrower than I like. I have friends and coworkers that love them though. (I did bike across Europe in them, so it wasn't a hugely problematic thing). - Dan P.

We got two of these for our daughters kzfaq.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L the same size for age 6 and 9. It works very well for both girls. Gears were very easy for them to learn. Changing gears up takes some hand strength and is a bit hard, but they are learning. They did not come with water bottle holders- we actually got confused and thought the Derailler Guard was the bottle holder!! Regardless of these details, the bikes are fantastic- even our six year old who only just learned to ride bikes caught on within an hour of practice and loves it. Lightweight and easy for them to handle. All the parts are in excellent condition and the bikes are easy to assemble and very well packaged. Great choice for kids!

There cool but being a bigger buy not by Much mind you anything over a 38 Waist yer done for and have no choice in what you wear you need to then move on to work clothes for that extra sizes Same as everything fox don't want fatties ruining the brand name But they would sell and be much more respected if they did do the bigger sizes for bigger riders as we aren't all twigs who ride!
