[ These pants are wonderful! Very comfortable and multipurpose…. travel, casual, nice casual and hiking wear. These are well designed and tailored for almost any situation in which you find yourself. Not very technical looking which is great for easy transitioning from task to task

5 Haystacks
Pants are relatively lightweight, stretch is amazing, and super comfortable. They get wrinkly if you let them sit in the dryer for too long. So be careful on that.

5 Jordan
I have Fessari Shorts that I love and this is my first time getting the pants. They are true to size and just as great feeling as the shorts. I like that the leg is a slightly tapered for a slimmer fit.

5 OR Employee - Ryan - Ecommerce
I 've had these for a few weeks now and I 'm a huge fan. They are a perfect everyday pant that still has a technical feel to them, being lightweight and stretchy. The trimmer fit looks great too. I 'd recommend for anyone that loves their Ferrosi hiking pants, but wants the look of a traditional 5 pocket pant.

5 JAC
These pants lived up to my expectations. I was looking for pants that were light, stretchy, and provided sun protection. Check, check, and check. I wore them in 90 degree heat and did n't think once about being too hot. And even though I purchased them for the outdoors, the khakis look good enough to wear to work. I would buy them again.

[ I have a small waist and wide hips, and have a really hard time finding pants that fit. These do! I bought them in every color. Very comfortable. The cuffs can be opened up( adjustable draw cord), so you can wear them as a a regular wide leg pant or gathered at the bottom. They 're very flattering in the wide leg config for me.

5 Puji
[ I love the pants especially wearing them to outdoor hikes. Keeps you perfectly warm without sweating. The ease of movement is amazing and the pants are extremely flattering

5 King1215
[ As a tall/curvy outdoorsy girlie( 5 ’ 11 175lbs) it ’s really hard to find hiking pants that check the length, hips, and waist boxes. I find that most women ’s hiking pants are NOT built for my body. These however, are a win for me!!! They have become my favorite and go to hiking pants!

5 Maddee
[ Just bought these and received both pair yesterday. I got a size large and was worried they wouldn ’ t fit, I am a size 12/14 in jeans and have trouble finding good hiking pants for curvier girls. These are AMAZING! Very high quality material! Wore them out today to try them out and my thighs didn ’ t chafe even with the bagginess. Can ’ t wait to take them hiking in the Adirondacks! That will test the durability truly lol

5 Sandy
Bought a pair last month while on a hiking trip and the fit was perfection for this curvy girl. Super roomy legs for hiking and climbing with a perfect fit waist. I love this cut and style so much that I ’ m ordering a few more colors. I hope in the near future Columbia will make this same style in a light weight chino/ everyday, casual wear pant.

I wore these pants 32 days straight while walking the Camino Frances in Spain. They were terrific. East to hand wash at night yet be dry in the morning. Lightweight for hot Spanish sunshine yet keeping me warm in the morning. Easy to zip off when your exertions make you sweaty. I did n't even bother alternating with the joggers from another brand, which quickly became my pajama bottoms for cold nights.

Great improvements from last year. I liked the trail sender shorts from last year and these improve on the previous version in several ways. First, the best thing about the previous version is the ultra lightweight ripstop fabric and how well it performs in hot weather- the only comparable pants I ’ ve found in weight are the Patagonia Terrebonne joggers, and these are somehow feel even cooler in hot( 90+ F) humid weather. The new 2024 version feels like it has the same fit, but improves on some annoyances from last year: 1. The waistband is slightly elastic, which is more comfortable from previous near 0 stretch 2. The pockets are deeper and the zip pocket has been moved from the front thigh to the side hip. This is a big improvement where your phone no longer barely fits in the pocket or runs up against your hipbone when sitting 3. The construction feels higher quality and more premium. Too early to tell on how durability will compare but definitely feels like it ’ ll perform better Very happy with all the changes made!

[ By far these are the most versatile climbing pants I have ever owned. I bought the first pair and hit the rock gym, I was impressed, I took them on a trip to do some lead climbing and was blown away. The amazing stretch allows you to make those big kicks to the next foot placement with confidence. The material is bombproof and made for the wild, I scrapped these against all kinds of rock and not a scratch on them. The stitching is fantastic, they have built in ankle adjustments so you can run them shorter when it's hot, they have a zip and button fly, integrated waist tie, belt loops if you need to run a belt, 2 zip pockets( right thigh and right rear) and 3 regular pockets, the material breathes like it's cotton, but dries fast when wet. Crazy versatile gear. Outdoor Research truly lives up to their name, the attention to the fine details is what sets these pants apart. Go ahead and click add to cart with confidence.

5 Seang
[ This is my second pair. They 're comfortable, look good, and are tough! I did every awful thing I could think of to the first pair: woods, mud, crawling over rock, spilling beer! They held up great and are still going, but looking a little worn after 9 years of abusing them. Bought another pair for traveling.

5 ampm
[ These pants are excellent. I work outdoors in the heat and sun and nothing beats these lightweight pants. As stretchy and comfortable as joggers, while looking as clean and professional as chinos. Can not recommend these enough. Your normal waist and inseam size will work because of the stretch, however the waist runs half- an- inch to an inch small and the length is half and inch long in my opinion.

5 Docc
[ Just received my Outdoor Research Ferrosi pants. First thing I noticed was the softness of the material. The pants fit perfectly in fact I 'll be wearing them even when not hiking. The zippered thigh pocket is big enough for the phone. The two front pockets are huge and I like the back zippered pocket for my maps. The fit is not tight or loose. Upon bending, the Ferrosi material seemed to be stretchable and not confining. The pants felt comfortable and breathable to the point that I thought I was wearing shorts. Even hiking during the New Mexico monsoons, I kept dry. Hiking through the brush, I was n't sure if the pants would tear, the Ferrosi pants passed the test. As far as style is concerned, I feel and look great in these Ferrosi pants. Keep up the good work Outdoor Research, ca n't wait to get a Ferrosi jacket.

5 Patrick
[ These pants are extremely comfortable, and they do not bind. They are also cool in hot weather, and dry out quickly if they get wet. I have tried to get by with cheaper alternatives from a big box warehouse store that starts with C. But they never fit right. It ’s worth it to spend a little more and get these pants.

I found myself wearing sweat pants all the time because... you know, it works and feels good but I do n't want to look like a guy that wears sweat pants all the time. Now I got these pants and not only am I comfortable, but I also am able to keep it classy:) This pants are great for an expert at comfort. I feel like I could even wear these to work. I advise you combine it with a nice top.

I love the casual look and feel mixed with the tech performance. I 'm someone who often goes from a meeting to outside play and these fit the bill perfectly. The drawstring waist is super comfy and eliminates the need for belt, which I hate having to use on tech pants.

Absolutely! Here's a glowing review designed to catch the seller's eye: ★★★★★ These pants changed the way I travel! I 'd always struggled with bulky luggage and uncomfortable plane outfits. Then, I found these travel pants and everything clicked! Here's why:* Wrinkle- resistant and chic enough to wear out. 12- hour flight? No problem!* Lightweight: I am always looking for something that is lightweight, easy to pack and re durable not to mention breathable. And these pants were the perfect balance.* Style for days: They look amazing with both sneakers and boots. Honestly, these might be the most life- changing pants I own. If you 're a traveler, grab a pair( or three!) You wo n't regret it!
