Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Ferrosi Shorts

I use these shorts for hiking, mountain biking, outdoor workouts and an foundation piece in my summer travel line-up. They are a trim fit, which might not work for everyone, but I really prefer it to blousy shorts. I'm lean and these shorts give my legs and butt some shape! They are really functional, with a few pockets, very rugged, don't wrinkle, dry fast, and even look a little polished to pull off being in a nicer setting.

Love the stretch, deep pockets and zipper on pocket!!

I've now hiked in these shorts a few times and can say that without a doubt, they are my favorite hiking shorts. I don't notice them at all, which is the highest praise I can give a garment. Totally distraction-free, lightweight, good-sized pockets, quick-drying, and a comfy waistband. Pretty sure I need at least three more pairs. And the pants. :)

Love this short ! Stylish and practical!!

I really love these shorts! They are a great light weight material. They are super stretchy and comfortable! They tend to stretch out quite a bit but wash up really nice! Highly recommend!

These are excellent. They're lightweight, dry quickly, durable and are all around comfy. I've taken them on a few hikes now and have no complaints. Even the pockets are normal sized which I was happy to find in a pair of women's pants! I'm happy I bought a few of these in several colors.

Love these shorts! I've wanted these shorts for a while and this summer, finally splurged. As a white water guide, I wear these all the time while guiding, playing, swimming, hiking and they're AWESOME! Fit really well, shorts are long enough not to ride up but not too long to be floppy or frumpy, the pockets work well (yay pockets!) and they dry very quickly. I love OR gear and this was just another confirmation that these guys know what's up.

Love these! I'm on the water, on the trail, or in the garden with these on. They are stretchy, nice-fitting (not slouchy) and the sizing is perfect. I'm 5'2" and 110lbs with a booty. The pockets actually hold things (most women's clothing have cursory, unusable pockets).

I really like these shorts...great pockets and comfy. They are true to size, I ordered a size 10 and they fit well. I'm 5'0" and weight 125 lbs. The only thing I'm not exactly crazy about is the inside waist tie...sometimes it bothers my back...but just me having a bad back. I don't think it would bother others. It does help to keep the shorts from drooping down, especially when you have a cell phone, keys, etc. in your pockets.

They are perfect in every way. So flexible, love the pockets, feels light and waterproof!

Bought these shorts for backpacking and love them. I generally don't where shorts unless they are to the knee but decided to try these. Fit good. Don't ride up which is key for me.

awesome

Fits true to size - perfect on cool days and hot +30 days in the sun. No rubbing and lots of room for leg movement when hiking. Have put another pair on my wish list !

Good fit. Like the slightly longer length. Really comfortable.

Great for hiking! Lightweight and super comfortable.

I love these shorts! After reading reviews, I went with a size larger than I normally buy and they fit perfectly. I'm 5'2" and 120 lbs and bought the size 6. The material is thin and stretchy. Dries easily. I love the 7" inseam length, too. It falls about mid-thigh in me. The waistband has a soft lining (so no chafing), but doesn't really "give" any, which is why you don't want these to be tight at all in the waist. There is a stretchy tie in the inside of the waistband if it is a little too roomy. The front pockets are deep enough to hold my iPhone and still be able to ride my bike with out it getting in the way or falling out. Ive worm them several times already and they wash and dry well, and keep their shape throughout the day. Overall, I'm super happy with them!

I own 5 pairs of these shorts in both 7" and 5" lengths. These are my go to shorts for all activities in all sorts of weather - I could even run a half marathon in them if needed. They are so comfortable and fit well, are super durable, they do not stretch out and dry quickly. I have a small waist and use the elastic waist tie, not tied together but I make a loop-knot on either side to tighten up the waist. I will definitely be buying a few more colors before the end of summer.

Got these and immediately put them to use and I love them. Just long enough to wear comfortably with a climbing harness and to trail run in without any riding up or chafing. They are comfy and light and the size 4 was perfect for me (5'4", 125lbs). I would highly recommend and may even buy a 2nd pair if they go on sale.

Everything ferrosi is so soft. I got a 10, I wanted them a little baggie for my outdoor ranger work. I'm 5'4" 140 lbs. They are extremely stretchy and comfortable. I recommend!

Since I purchased these shorts I wear them almost everyday! A great hiking short, lightweight and breathable. The pockets actually fit my cell phone, wallet and a granola bar, unlike most others. Like most bottoms at OR I sized up from what I regularly wear in other brands.

These shorts are perfect! Have in several colors now. The fit is spot on, and they wash up great.

These are far and away my favorite shorts! They are light, breathable and stretchy. Super comfortable. I have a pair in every color, just wish they came in navy blue too.

Love these! Purchased in two colors. The lightest shorts I own, great stretch, and quick dry!

Love the fit of these shorts and just the right amount of stretch. Only comment would be to make the tie on the outside instead of the inside. Your company used to do this with women's shorts and pants. Still great product and rate a 5 due to comfort!

Fit great! Nice to have real pockets. Length is perfect- not too short that you're self conscious, but not too long that you feel old.
