FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the waterproof membrane provides an effective barrier against wind, helping to maintain body heat on blustery descents.
Can I wear a back protector under this jacket?
The jacket has an active, tailored fit. While you can wear a thin jersey underneath, bulky armor may feel restrictive.
Does it have ventilation?
The main body fabric is designed to be breathable, but it does not feature dedicated pit vents.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Use the adjustable hem drawcord to cinch the waist and ensure the elastic cuffs are secure to prevent water entry.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is permanently attached, designed specifically to accommodate mountain bike helmets.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment spray, then tumble dry on low to reactivate.
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Clean the zipper tracks of any mud or grit using a soft brush and warm water to ensure smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your Fox Ranger 2.5L jacket, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the DWR coating. If the jacket begins to absorb water after a few washes, tumble dry on low heat or use a low-heat iron to help reactivate the water-repellent finish. The garment is designed for an active fit; if you plan on wearing thick jerseys underneath, ensure you select your size accordingly.
