Fox Racing Honda 180 Motocross Pants Motocross may bear the seeds of reckless adventure, but the speeds and heights achieved by the fearless riders force them to confront their very real vulnerabilities and put on gear to compensate. Fox Racing is an ever-present name on the lips of the motocross community when it comes to riding apparel. Their logo is among the most recognized symbols and is worn by riders and fans alike.

Fox Racing and Honda have engineered the 180 motocross pants with stretch panels everywhere that the body needs to move. The neutral-state architecture is designed for a comfortable riding position. Since nothing can do the job like leather, they've included patches for heat and abrasion resistance, and these pants are mostly synthetic so the rider doesn't overheat. They are also both breathable and water-repellent.

Aesthetically, the 180 pants leave something to be desired. They have a strong red-on-black contrast, but the pinstripes are reminiscent of a baseball uniform. Don't let minor fashion faults dissuade you from getting a durable, well-made pair of riding pants, though. Comfort and protection should negate all superficial concerns. The Honda logo will let you proudly proclaim your allegiance to your bike, and at under $100 they're not going to leave you with buyers' remorse.
