Strengths: lightweight, good flexibility, not bulkyWeaknesses: construction, chafing/irritationBottom Line: construction is very poor for the money. Where the chamois attaches to the short and leg/crotch seams are not flatlocked seams, which causes chafing and irritation. I looked at my cheapie liner shorts and they all have flatlocked chamois and leg seams. I expect better construction when I spend $50 just for a liner.
Padding is light and a little soft, but that is ok, I bought these to use for heavy XC and AM and there is enough padding to keep you from getting bruises and rasberries on your hips/thighs. If you ride heavy DH you already know you need something beefier than this.
If Fox fixed the construction/seams, they would get 4 chilis, but these are essentially unridable. Ill put a few more rides on them hoping they will 'break in' and put in a new review if they change.

Strengths: Lightweight, easy to move around in, and offer some protection in mild crashes when worn under baggy shorts.Weaknesses: Sizing runs VERY small.Bottom Line: Better than wearing no pads at all, but nowhere near the level of Dainese. Good for the days where the terrain is more forgiving or when it's exceptionally hot out. These shorts run ridiculously small. I have a 33" waist and needed XL.
Favorite Trail: Tempest
Duration Product Used: 3 months
Price Paid:
$45.00
Similar Products Used: Similar padded liner shorts from Dainese and 661.

Strengths: -comfortable; wears as well as your regular pair of shorts but with padding
-lightweight and breathableWeaknesses: -compared to other shorts i've seen or purchased, the pads are not as thick.
-high price for name brandBottom Line: Value is poor, luckily I got these for a discount working at a bike shop. They are better than nothing or the average mt. bike shorts with just chamoix, but just barely. Way overpriced for retail of around 70.00 I ride nearly everyday with friends about 4 to 5 times a week for 2 hour plus sessions. In the times i've fallen wearing these, both times my front wheel washed and I fell on my sides. I still managed to get some bruises, though I imagined they could have been worst without them. My new 661 bomber shorts I'm trying cost far less and the pads are much more thicker, I expect them to be better but I haven't fallen yet to compare:) Oh, and if you do get the fox launch, they seem to size smaller than usual; my waist is 32 and the large fitted fine, medium might would have been too snug.
Favorite Trail: any
