Review: the Fox Head Attack jersey & shorts
Finding the right gear can be difficult, but choosing the Fox Head Attack collection is always the right move.
I’ve been riding the new Fox Head Attack jersey and shorts for three months now. The first time I put them on, I was already convinced that it would become my new favourite outfit to hit the trail. Both the No Liner shorts and Pro LS jersey have been the optimal gear for every type of riding and I have been using them exclusively ever since I got them.
Fox Head uses top-quality materials for the Attack line-up.
The Attack Pro LS Jersey
The Attack jersey is made of an extremely lightweight and stretchable Polartec Delta fabric on the torso and a wear resistant Cordura material on the sleeves. Its race oriented cut is comfortable and optimal for both the elite Enduro racer and amateur rider like me.
Fox Head integrated top level materials in the Attack Pro collection, combining maximal performance with reliability.
Polartec is known for developing the highest quality textiles on the market, especially when it comes to extreme conditions where things still need to be comfortable. Their Delta fabric ensures that athletes do not over heat as well as staying dry. After riding for a few hours and sweating the entire way, the jersey did a great job of transporting sweat away from my skin. This was also noticeable when wearing a backpack. The Attach Pro jersey also dries extremely well after a rain shower on the trail. Overall, a great choice of fabric by Fox Head.
I wear a size S jersey.
A race oriented cut through and through.
Laser cut holes in the sleeves keep things cool.
The Cordura sleeves are another plus about the Attack Pro jersey. Cordura is lightweight, can stretch, is wear resistant and can take a beating from branches. Lightweight materials aren’t always as delicate as they seem, and Fox Head makes that very clear with this jersey.
My height is 1.70 m and I weigh 65 kg and even with the race oriented cut, both the shorts and jersey fit me in size S.
To ensure that the sleeves provide as much ventilation as possible, laser-cut holes have been worked into them. On the trail, the holes work extremely well even on warm summer days. However, for those who prefer a short sleeve jersey, Fox Head also offers one in the Attack Pro line-up. The various parts of the jersey are also glued together to prevent seams from increasing friction and taking away from the ride.
The Attack No Liner shorts
The Attack No Liner shorts are the perfect match to the Attack Pro LS jersey. They meet all of my needs whether I’m going for a ride after work or shredding at an Enduro race. The shorts are made of a 4-way stretch TruMotion fabric, which is super comfortable. As the name suggests, the TruMotion fabric offers plenty of stretch and is very wear resistant. Ventilation holes are also placed in strategic areas to keep things cool.
Laser cut holes in the shorts also provide great ventilation.
The pockets are super practicle.
The ratchet closure works great.
The ratchet closure system, combined with the elastic upper, keep the shorts right where they need to be. Even with full pockets, I never had an issue with them. The cut, known as Rider Attack Position (RAP) is perfect for mountain biking, and I find it to be very modern and the right amount of baggy. The shorts end at the upper portion of my knee cap, which keeps a gap around the knee protectors from occurring while pedalling.
Shorts as comfortable as this are hard to find. No wonder so many pro riders use them.
The Attack No Liner shorts have a pocket on the left and right side. They are laser-cut and lay flat with a zipper to keep your phone or keys from falling out. The angled position of the pockets was especially nice while riding because nothing ended up bouncing around. Perfect for rowdy trails!
Summary
The Attack Pro collection is simply amazing. The shorts and jersey are both lightweight and super durable, which works perfectly for mountain biking. I can, with 100 % confidence, claim that the Fox Head Attack Pro gear is my absolute favourite to wear. Comfortable clothing can make or break a ride, and the Attacks only enhance it.
A great outfit for great riding.
