Strengths: Great Fit and looks.Zip able pockets.Removable chamois.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: They fit great, and look good( I bought the red ones). You can wear the shorts without the linen. They are very comfy .I don't understand all the bad reviews. I have fun riding in them, and the liner does its job.The only thing you have to do is wash them COLD or you will have pink socks.They are still the same color as when i bought them.

Strengths: Extremely comfortable! Look great on/off trail. I wish I could wear these 24/7.
Chamois is the the mid-level Fox line, but I wouldn't ride without it now. It's detachable (huge plus), which makes my desire to wear the main shorts around all day much more enjoyable.
Fast drying (and I sweat A TON)Weaknesses: Just a tad bit long? The ends would tuck into my knee/shin guards at times- bearable.Bottom Line: I have no idea where the terrible reviews are coming from. Maybe I haven't given enough time for wear? I can't see how these shorts will tear up at all (not considering a gnarly, rocky crash.
They're extremely comfortable, and my girlfriend kept looking at me and saying, "You look really good in those shorts." lol Seriously, you can't beat something that's awesome to ride in, wear all day long, and have you're girlfriend love too!

Strengths: Outers look "cool". Lots of handy pockets. Waist adjustability with velcro straps is effective.Weaknesses: Right out of the bag the inner chamois has stitching coming apart.
The legs on the others are way too long, why ? Who can pedal like that ? I have to fold mine up.
And most importantly, the inner chamois has some stitching that has been giving me very bad sores at lower inside part of my buttocks.Bottom Line: I wouldn't have bought them if there was a local shop that carries fox clothing and I had the opportunity to see them first.

Strengths: Look goodWeaknesses: Terrible inner chamoisBottom Line: Not the worst if you wear a good lycra short underneath. I wouldnt even consider trying on the liner that came with these. Overall too baggy and get heavy when wet. Too many pockets. Who needs pockets when there are camelbacks? I would much prefer something slimmer, lighter and more vented.

Strengths: NONE!!!Weaknesses: The inner liner ripped before I even had a chance to wear them. Total crap!!!Bottom Line: You would think that you get what you pay for with FOX but this is not the case with the shorts. FOX should have a disclamer that their shorts are made in a third world country. Thanks FOX you have just lost my business.

Strengths: Great fabric
Not too warm
ComfortableWeaknesses: Not the greatest fitting chamoisBottom Line: I've been riding in these for close to two years and they have lasted me fine. No issues. No ripping, no tearing...nadda. And I have crashed them quite badly.
What more do you want? Shorts with a removable liner that lasts two years (and still going strong!) and fit well.

Strengths: look okayWeaknesses: uncomfortable, difficult to ride inBottom Line: I ocassionally wear these shorts grocery shopping, but I only wore them once for riding. Bottom line is that they're messy to ride in, and I'd rather ride in something that I can forget I'm wearing. They're noisy and bunch up and I hate the inner chamois. I got them on sale online, which was a good thing; but I'll never buy another pair of Fox shorts if I can't try them on first.

Strengths: Looks? if you like camoWeaknesses: everything elseBottom Line: biggest. pad. ever. wow. bought these on sale, thank goodness. only tried on the outer shorts for waist fit, cuz all chamois(es)? are pretty much the same right? wrong. Wrong. I don't know who Fox designed these shorts for, cuz my croth width-wise is not half a foot across.

Strengths: Look good. Good cut; not too baggy fit keeps from snagging on seat. Incuded liner with what appears top be a good quality chamois.Weaknesses: Chamois is cut terrible making it fit very baggy and bunches up the first time you wear them on the trail. Attachment system for inner liner is useless.Bottom Line: I was so psyched when I found a pair of these on clearance at my LBS this weekend, as I remembered checking them out last fall but just not wanting to spend $90 on a pair of shorts at the time. I have since found that you do get what you pay for when it comes to good shorts with a quality liner after picking a set of Pearl Izumi Microsensor bib shorts for my long road rides. After checking the build quality and considering these originally sold for $90, I figured they'd be awesome. Man! Was I ever wrong!!! Wore them for a four hour ride on Saturday, and will never wear them again. Felt like I was wearing a big, wet, sloppy diaper after a while that kept buching up and falling down. The inner liner is just cut really weird and the chamois kept scrunching up. I think these do run a size larger than usual so make sure you buy them on the snug side.

Strengths: Looks, pocketsWeaknesses: Expensive,The snap pops opens even though the waist fits fine, legs are tight even though they are stretch material, I don't use the liner at all. Who uses a belt when they bike? why have belt loops?Bottom Line: Fox should stick to making shocks, why do companys start with a good product( suspension ), then expand into a clothing company making sunglasses!, sneakers!, surf trunks! and other crap made overseas. Now Fox has stores at the fricking mall! Sell out corporate capitalist!! In my mind there just trying to make more and more money, when they should just concentrate on making high quality suspension. I'm all done with Fox clothing. This is my third pair of so called "baggy" mtn. biking shorts and they are all way to tight fitting in the legs and crotch. Third time a charm Fox!

Strengths: Inner
Outer looks like normal shortWeaknesses: The way the inner "straps" to short. CRAP design!Bottom Line: Not as bad as many make them, but someone at Fox must be asking himself what the hell was I thinking!?
Haven't had any issues with them,though and I ride in them twice a week. For the money you would expect something stronger.

Strengths: Look great and fit well.
The thin fabric keeps you cool in the summer.
So far the fabric and seams hold up fine.
Weaknesses: The inner liner is unusable. There is more padding in the front than there is in the seat part and that results in a very uncomfortable ride. Sizing is a bit off, buy one size below for good fit.Bottom Line: Despite the flaws, I like them. I took a chance and bought them online ( something you should never do ) and they look and feel good.

from BC, CanadaDate Reviewed: August 6, 2007
Strengths: Um... Good pockets.Weaknesses: Crap design, Uncomfortable.Bottom Line: These shorts are crap, I wish I hadn't bought them. They come with a liner that feels like wearing a napppy (I imagine), the first thing I had to do was buy a liner that I could wear. They're very badly cut, the crotch is too low for biking and the stretch panel at the back does exactly that, stretches, making the damn things even more uncomfortable.
They're alright for light trail riding (with a different liner) and a belt, but otherwise they're annoying.
Fox should stick to what they're good at and make shocks, not shorts.
