Fox’s previous Ranger Pant only had one zipped pocket and a waist cinch that fastened round the side/rear that some riders found a bit fiddly. It also came with a skin tight fit and comparatively short leg that exposed a lot of sock and could ride up when, er... riding.
This latest model refines the cut for a bit more breathing room and has two zipped pockets to help separate out contents like keys and a smartphone. To ‘improve comfort on the bike’, it still shares with its predecessor having no fly zipper though. But could it now deserve a place amongst the best MTB pants?
