The Fox Defend Men's Short is a mountain bikers go to riding short that meets and exceeds the demands of today’s progressive riders. In fact, don’t just take out word for it, it recently won the VitalMTB Audience Survey Award for the #1 bike shorts to buy. That’s pretty impressive knowing that there are literally hundreds of choices and options out on the market today for mountain bike shorts. The Defend Shorts combine durability and 4-way stretch to keep you agile and moving freely on the fast-paced descent or slow and mindless climb. Construction of the short is combination of 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane along with a water-resistant finish. These shorts shed moisture, dirt and debris unlike any other mountain bike shorts out there, and will stand the test of time for lots of rugged abuse. A ratchet closure system keeps the shorts just where you want them to be and keeps them there, no matter how rough the ride gets. It also makes for easy, on-the-fly adjustments at any time. Body mapped laser perforated areas keep air moving in and out of the shorts to keep you cool and keep moisture out. Hand zipped pockets keep all of your important items like car keys, cell phone and snacks secure as you ride. Serious mountain bikers expect to have the very best riding shorts available, and the Fox Defend Men's Short will certainly live up to all the awards and hype to make you ride to your fullest potential.
