For tough climbs and long descents, the FOX Defend Youth Short knows no difference. Lightweight, ventilated, and breathable, this kid’s-specific MTB short keeps their temperature regulated on the ascent whilst remaining durable, protective, and mobile on the downhill. A durable exterior fabric combines with a 4-way stretch construction to keep them covered both in terms of comfort and protection. This TruMotion stretch material delivers a full range of motion and is designed to move as they do on the bike. Though the short is rather simple in terms of its construction, it still offers a high-end approach to performance and features a DWR finish to shed whatever elements are left attacking. From moisture, dirt, mud, and debris to minor knicks and normal wear, the FOX Defend Youth Short has the profile to withstand it all and keep coming back for more.
