The ascent lined shorts have been great for biking. Their slim profile allows for movement on the bike while not getting caught up.

Finally shorts that are not too long or baggy! No more sound from excess material rubbing when pedaling! Stretch material is good and zip pocket is a great feature. Hopefully they add a second pocket then it would be perfect!

Really comfy, breathable and flexible fabric with great padding in the liner. One drawback is there is only one small pocket. While that is ok while riding, off the bike it is horrible. Not even enough space to carry keys, phone, wallet to and from the car. Have to carry things in my hands. Don't even think about grabbing a drink after a ride...

The Flex Air shorts while great material are not true to size fit. They run on small side (Think Asian sizing when ordering off Amazon) and I’ve had this issue with the past 3 shorts bought from Fox Racing’s website or at a LBS.
I like how they fit close to the skin, similar to wearing road shorts. Nothing baggy or to catch on your seat.Also the fabric is thin and flexible, perfect for hot weather.
Great shorts for the summer time heat. Lightweight and a shorter length than the old Flexair shorts. Waist is a little bigger too, which was welcome. Bought several pairs along with the Flexair Ascent jersey.
The first thing was that the material was cheap didn’t feel like it would last long and the size was off Fox always runs a little bigger they felt way too small. Bad quality As for the service couldn’t have been better came quick
I wear a 36 in all MTB shorts. Ordered these in a 36 and it was like they were 32 or something. Insanely too small. So took a hit on the return then ordered a size 38. Could barely get them fastened and fit so tight I could barely breath so returning those now too and taking another hit on the return label fee. Who did they design these for? Kids?
After a 3 hour ride coaching a NICA team i have a sore spot on the stomach. This happens every time. The shorts are not too tight since i have to use most of the ratchet and they are comfortable. They also are not too loose, once i get the ratchet right they start in place.i have found that i have to pull my chamois liner shorts up and over the waist band of these shorts to prevent the ratchet from rubbing.
All my MTB shorts are size 36. Ordered size 36 and came nowhere near being able to fasten them at the waist. Sent them back and got a 38. Still too small and sending back. Not sure who they designed these to fit....
