Im a female in carpentry and these are my favorite shorts! They do n't ride up, the inseam is perfect length& ca n't see anything up my shorts when I 'm on a ladder, the waist band is so stretchy and comfy these are perfect with my heavy tool belt, they keep me so cool on hot days. And they have a sporty yet professional look to them. These shorts are perfect.

5 Samantha S
Unbelievable shorts with amazing stretch for those big thigh girlies. I think my only critique is the pockets stick out a little too much for my liking. However the deep pockets are very VERY much appreciated! The waist band of these shorts is supple and so comfy, never a moment of feeling like it ’s too tight or had buttons pushing into me. Can be used for hikes, swims, paddle boarding, and climbing.

I wear. them all the time, they are so comfy and cute.

I ordered a Large based on the size guide and they fit perfectly! I am a size 14 in jeans and typically get XL in pants, so I am glad I read the measurements before ordering. I foresee myself wearing these shorts all the time once the temps rise. The fabric is really nice and the pockets are a nice addition to the shorts. Also, the rise of the shorts hits at the right spot on the waistline, not too high and not too low. The color is even better in person!

5 Hannah W.

5 OR Employee Sam - Customer Service
I 've been using this for a couple months now and really like it! I 've found it cuts ~75- 80% of felt wind and even as a softshell shrugs occasional rain pretty well. Mine wet out after about 25 minutes in light/medium rain and when soaked was n't transferring much water to my baselayer. Perfect when you really should 've brought a Helium Rain but you did n't. While not quite breathable enough for me when running unless its real cold( I 'm a warm person) it's great for everything less aerobic than that for me. The cuffs are elastic on the inside of your wrist which works well with a watch. The single hood cinch works well to keep your hood on while minimizing adjustments. Pocket linings double as vents, are big enough for a smartphone or light gloves, and are not sewn down at the top allowing you to stash your map or mail in a pinch. The Hood stow works well when you plan to use it, but I did find myself just tucking the hood inside if I was in a rush and could n't be bothered to roll it up. The hem cinch is located on the right side and is easy to adjust one handed and has low profile hardware which is fine under a backpack belt. I 'm 5'11/ 210#/ 43 '' chest and wear a Men's Large size tshirt and find the size large fits me perfectly with a trim fit. Key for me with fit is that in my other OR jackets like the Foray and Superstrand I 've needed to size up to XL to have the hem fit over my butt. Not so with the Ferrosi- the stretchiness of the fabric and cut works perfectly for me. I normally wear an echo or vigor top underneath mine and layer any insulation over. If I wanted to put insulation under the Ferrosi I would need to size up once. The jacket is lighter, and more flattering than my other windshell from another company. Combined with the comfiness of the stretch I 've found myself grabbing it when just going out running errands and it's almost always at the top of my pack heading out into the woods now.

Jacket is light weight and durable looks great……..

5 Cheese sandwich
It fits nicely, is sleek and comfortable. I can move around easily, and as an outer layer it offers exactly what I need.

5 Alexandre P
Perfect softshell! I have been using it for daily commute, rock climbing and everything in between. It breaths nicely and cuts the wind just enough to protect you from the element. The fabric is nice and stretchy. With a base layer or insulated jacket under it, it is really versatile. Everybody can benefit from that product. Jacket is true to size

5 Arion H
I really enjoy this material and the stretch it gives. Tons of uses: gym, walkabout town, Florida in November, shell over down, New Mexico summer nights or August winds, and early morning range days. I appreciate the extra attention to detail in the areas where someone would have a lot of contact or friction like carrying a pack.

Frequently Asked Questions For Best Clothes for Bouldering

When selecting the best clothes for bouldering, prioritize flexibility and comfort. Look for materials that allow for a full range of motion, such as stretchy fabrics. Additionally, consider features like moisture-wicking properties to keep you dry and breathable materials to enhance ventilation during intense climbs.

Yes, the best clothes for bouldering are often made from synthetic blends or cotton that provide durability and stretch. Look for fabrics that are lightweight yet robust, as they can withstand the wear and tear of climbing. Additionally, moisture-wicking and quick-drying materials can enhance your comfort during climbs.

The fit of bouldering clothes is crucial for performance and comfort. A snug but not restrictive fit allows for better movement and reduces the risk of snagging on holds. It's important to choose clothing that fits well around the waist and thighs while still allowing for freedom of movement in the upper body.

While regular athletic wear can be suitable for bouldering, specialized clothing designed for climbing often offers enhanced features like stretch, durability, and breathability.
