As a fair-weather biker like me, I rarely wear long trousers. But now I wanted one for temperatures below ten degrees. The Flexair seemed ideal because it's nice and light. And that's exactly the strength of the Fox trousers. They are also very comfortable to wear thanks to the stretch material. There's even enough room for knee pads. The cut is pleasantly casual instead of tight-fitting. Practical: the zip fastener and the two zip pockets. The material is dirt-repellent - dried mud splashes can easily be wiped off. Despite the thin material, I couldn't detect any material fatigue in the trousers after two seasons. Even the screen-printed logo is still there, unlike on my Fox Flexair shorts. Typical of Fox: the tight leg cuffs may look cool, but they expose the ankles. It also makes it more awkward to slip in and out of the trousers.
