Fox Epic Shorts

These are fantastically comfortable shorts.

The inner liner/pad has 3d moulding and the edges are very smooth, adding up to ultra comfort. The shorts are perfect for long days out or rides of 3 hours or more. The outer shorts are a tough but very soft and tactile material (not sure what it is but it feels nice) with a band of ventilation mesh across each leg and substantial reinforcement in the seat area. There are two side pockets and the lower right leg has a securely zipped waterproof pocket that is large enough for an iPod type of thing or a small camera. The waist is elasticated and fastened by a velcro area and a pull cord which means they are never too tight.

The only downside for me is that the legs are too long, they easily reach my knees. This is personal preference and others may actually like the long legs but I think they look a bit silly on me.

They are exceptionally comfortable, hardwearing, have all the features I need, accommodate my waist fluctuations but are just a bit too long for my taste. In view of this I tend to reserve them for all day rides when the comfort overcomes my lack of fashion sense.
