Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Ferrosi Shorts

The Ferrosi short 7" inseam is my favorite short to wear. I have blue, tan and black in this style. They are light weight, plenty of room. Great for hiking and casual wear. I love the side zip pocket. I'm 5' and 110 and size 4 is perfect size as I have shape to my thighs.

My second pair. True to size. Wear hiking and out for good!

Great for hiking in warm weather. The fit is very comfortable with the right amount of stretch. The deep front pockets are really useful as is the side zippered pocket. The shorts dry fast if you decide to go swimming in them.

My partner has 3 pairs of the men's version and I thought he was crazy until I got mine. The stretch and feel of the fabric has been great for everything from sitting at my desk to bikepacking alpine roads.

The blue color is beautiful. Shorts are just the right length.

The blue color is beautiful. Shorts are just the right length.

I ordered these shorts to wear while shooting a local festival one weekend in May. The shorts are lightweight and moisture wicking, and the length is just right. I love these shorts and plan to purchase another pair.

Got here in great time and fitted me perfect I am a petit lady and the xs fitted great also the material and colour was spot on it is so nice to get something that fits and also looks great when buying online I am way impressed and will be shopping again.

Great shorts!

Excellent shorts. The length is good and the pockets are great. I'm able to zip my phone into the zippered pocket.

I ordered a pair of these shorts last summer and I do not think I will order any other shorts ever. These are my absolute favorite. The waist band is so comfortable! The 7" length is great under a harness and I roll them if I am wanting something a little shorter. The pockets are actually usable too. LOVE THESE! I am 5'3" 130 lbs (little curvier in the hips/bottom) and the size 4 fits great. Thank you OR for creating such an awesome pair of shorts (the pants are great too!)

These shorts are awesome! They definitely blew me away. I wear them for biking, hiking, climbing, and just general adventuring. The 7in inseam is great- I don't have to worry about any riding up and my thighs are protected when biking.

loved the fit and length

I love these shorts. I'm a thick thighed 5-6/150lbs. The 8 fit but was too tight in the thighs so I got the 10. The 10 is a little big in the waist but I'm used to that. They're comfy, durable, and look good. Full size pockets say what?! I like that they are light enough to wear mountain biking and swimming in the same day. I'll probably get more colors. The belt loops are a must for me.

Comfortable, great color, long enough

I'm 5'6", 125 lbs, and for the size 4. These fit perfectly. Love the length, the material, and the color. Definitely recommend! I want more colors too

Come back summer time!

Nice lightweight shorts. The same quality and features you'd expect if you're familiar with the Ferrosi pants.

Size 8 With the 7" inseam fits great for my 5'8", 155# frame. Legs stay put! No awkward pulling down of the inner thigh fabric with walking or hiking. Very comfortable to wear with a pack. Slash pockets are not accessible with a pack on, but thigh zippered pocket works great. Draw string waist is awesome since I hate wearing a belt when backpacking. Stands up to multiple days of wear with minor stretching out, dries quick. Highly recommend this one for anyone whose thighs will always touch no matter how much weight you lose!

Perfect fit. Perfect length. I have them in two colors.

Love them. Use these shorts for everyday wear as well as backpacking. Comfortable and quick drying.

I put these shorts on the day they arrived. I haven't gone a day since without 'em. I love them for summer hiking. I've worn them backpacking in the Eastern Sierra and the High Uintas. The fabric feels very weightless and soft, but it hangs tough when up against unexpected backcountry surfaces--like sharp boulders and splintered logs. I use all the pockets and I wouldn't mind a sixth to match on the side of the left leg. I washed them almost every day for six weeks until I finally got a second pair. Not because they didn't hold up well in the wash, I was just mad at myself when I couldn't wear them because they were tied up in the laundry.

These shorts are my absolutely favorite. The fabric is breathable, great for work or play. Durable and I have 2 pair of the longer version that are still perfect! Thanks for replacing the snaps for a button!

Comfortable, light weight, hiking shorts. Pack well, and plenty of pockets. Nice fit.

Florida heat and humidity unbearable except when in these shorts. Tennis, walking or whatever the material is tough, moves with me, wicks well and doesn't chaf.
