Great cut for hiking boots. ... The PrAna pants are great for traveling. ... Most comfortable hiking pants yet! ... Lower warm elevations were no problem due to its breathability and high cold elevations were no problem once moving but easily fit some long John ’s

[ I bought these based off the reviews. The reviews are spot on. These are great warm weather hiking pants. They are your typical/fancy plastic pants, so they will burn, tear and fail in time, but I knew this going into the purchase. Great cut for hiking boots. Not too sloppy around the ankles/footwear

Tanv
[ Fits well, a little on tighter side but loosens up when hiking. The fabric is interesting, it ’s somewhat softer than Patagonia Quandary pants( my other favorite). Only concern is the fabric seems to soak up moisture a bit more than I expected on damp days.

[ Used them during a week long backpacking trip in Yosemite. They did phenomenally going up and down the mountain. Lower warm elevations were no problem due to its breathability and high cold elevations were no problem once moving but easily fit some long John ’s underneath. The only down side is the zippered right leg pocket. It didn ’ t rain on my trip but I tested the water shedding in the shower. The zipper is a shire place for water to seep in during a downpour. Still love them though!

[ 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

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.

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.

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.

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 love these pants and so does my wife who is normally a little annoyed when I wear any athletic gear when we go out for dinner. ... I have a pair of the Ferrosi pants as well, which are great for hiking, but love the tapered leg for running and more active

Gilles
I have never liked jogger pants even though I owned a few from various brands. Got these pants from OR and they are amazing. Comfortable, super stretchy but do n't lose their looks and shape, I even discovered while cleaning a stain I had made that the pains are fantastically water resistant and yet they magically remain breathable and very light. These have become my favourite pants by far. To be mentioned, I have climbed a few times with these and you can observe some minor scratches on the knees. This is to be expected so I do n't argue for the quality of the material, but still worth knowing that they are not magical paints, sadly:) I am from Europe and OR is not such a common brand to find. They convinced me with this product, since then I also have bought their Foray rain jacket, which is awesome.

Love these and have them in every color. A physical education teacher's dream attire. They are light, move with your body, durable, and pretty much can be worn for any activity.
5
Jesse
Awesome Joggers. I have a pair of the Ferrosi pants as well, which are great for hiking, but love the tapered leg for running and more active days. Tough, flexible, and with just the right wind resistance, I find myself wearing these even when I 'm not running or hiking.

Andy
I love these pants. They are comfortable, fit well and the pockets are great( the back one fits a phone without it sliding around). I can wear for days at a time without needing to wash. Will be getting another pair.
5
Brad
[ My Ferrosi joggers came in good and proper. These pants are great for my weekends fly fishing on the river to keep cool and the sun off my skin just just as much as they are great for hanging around and doing anything. I ca n't keep these pants off both my legs. I 'll be sure to get a second pair when I want another color. Please make these in black! Love these britches. Would Recommend.

Livetohike
I 've had several pairs of rain pants from other manufacturers over the years and these are the best so far. They do n't restrict my leg movements, do n't leak, and are easy to get on and off. The rise is high, so you have good overlap with your top and the waist drawstring seems sturdy enough, although I pair them with suspenders also. Rain and wet brush are expected if you are outside much of the year here in the PNW, so you need some good rain pants.

Lewis B
I recently purchased the Foray 3L pants, and I could n't be more pleased with their performance. The standout feature for me has to be the full- length leg zippers, which make them incredibly easy to put on and take off, even over bulky footwear. This feature also provides excellent ventilation when needed. The material is top- notch, identical to the jacket, which I also own and love. It ’s exceptionally effective at repelling water, making it perfect for handling the sudden, intense downpours common in Florida. Despite its waterproof capabilities, the fabric feels comfortable and breathable, ensuring I stay dry without overheating. Overall, the Foray 3L pants are a fantastic investment for anyone who needs reliable, high- quality rain protection. Highly recommended for tackling unpredictable weather with ease!

Colby J
Really nice rain pants. Pack down fairly small with a carabiner clip to hold ‘ em on your bag. Honestly I didn ’ t notice much of a difference between their weight and my previous REI pants weight. They do seem to be a little bit larger than the size that is advertised. I ’ ve seen other peoples reviews and they mention the same thing, so though you may be fine with your normal size, I would try a size down. Overall, it ’s a great quality product that should keep you dry from rain.

Kyle F
These pants have a nice feel against the skin( not clammy) as a result of the third layer and feel like they ’ ll be durable. Love the 3/4 sealed zippers and the zipped back pocket. I ’ m 6 ’ 2 and usually wear a 34x34 pant. I bought medium regular length and they fit perfect with enough room in the waist to allow for a thick fabric underlayer.
$95.00
They are the perfect amount of stretchy but hold their shape, they 're super breathable and water resistant, and honestly more comfortable than most of my pajama

Emily
Finally, the absolute perfect pair of pants!! I am so excited! I have long been obsessed with the Ferrosi fabric, and joggers are my favorite style of pants. They are legitimately the most comfortable and functional pants I 've ever owned and I hope they make so many more colors. I fluctuate between the 16 and 16W sizes in the regular Ferrosi pants, and the XL in the joggers fit me perfectly. I could also probably wear the XXL but they 'd be significantly looser than the model in the pic and I like them a little form fitting. I would say to size down if you 're in between sizes unless you want them baggy. The drawstring waist is so comfy and non- restrictive, and the cuffs hit right at the ankle of my 5'10 '' frame. They are the perfect amount of stretchy but hold their shape, they 're super breathable and water resistant, and honestly more comfortable than most of my pajama pants! Way to go OR!

Amanda
Love these. Love the fit, fabric and style. I usually wear leggings hiking but wanted something more durable and still flexible. These fit the bill perfectly. I 'm 5'5 '', 155. lb and got a medium. They are a little baggy but not too bad. I like them a bit more flowy.
5
Jessica S
Great pant for all casual outings. Several trips to the rock climbing gyms and the trails, and loving it!
5
Greta M
The most comfortable waistband. It has some type of very soft liner in the waistband that is a treat. Yes, these are a little higher- waisted then my other outdoor joggers, but it works because you can easily and comfortably, roll down the waistband without bulk. Material is so, so comfy( and no swish/swish when walking, etc). I 'm a 27/4 pants in Women's and probably could 've sized down to an XS). Length great at 5'4 but the design is such that I can comfortably roll- up the bottom once and they still look' cute' and are functional.
5
Sarah4582
I gave these pants about 6 months before I wrote a review. Yes, the material is thin and you can see lines and such, but very stretchy and durable. I ’ ve gone on several backpacking trips and they ’ ve survived tree snags, devils club, tree pitch being removed with alcohol, washing frequently, etc. I wanted something with a slightly more slim fit than regular hiking pants and these are perfect. I ’ ve got longer legs and they ’ re great, but if you ’ re below 5 ’ 9 ” these might be a tad long. Overall they ’ ve earned a 5 star rating from me.
$159.00
Especially love the attention to the all important ankle area of the pants: Reinforced scuff guards, Boot lace hooks, drawcord cuff adjustments, and zippers to expand pants over

[ Does n't have the baggy bro- brah fit- thankfully. Still has enough room through the bottom leg for big boots and a gusseted crotch. Simple pant but well done, really all you can ask for.

[ I really like these and wear them while fat biking the winter. Now need for a bottom layer even down to 10 degrees while on the fat bike. They are tough I have scraped them on branches and stuff with out a mark.

[ I bought this pair for a backup to a pair I currently use on all my outings in the backcountry where I live. In this part of the country, it can get extreme and in the winter time, we use snowshoes most of the time because of the steep, rugged, and forested area. Flexibility for mobility is necessary for comfortable traveling conditions. The better I feel the farther I can go.

Kevina
I am a curvy size 6. I was worried about the waist being tight as per other reviews. It's not. Follow the size guide and they 'll fit. They fit wonderfully, I 'm super happy with them. They 're higher in the back so no crack- show when I 'm squatting down or anything. Great material, lots of stretch, perfect waist. No negatives.

[ These pants are great for hiking in wet weather! Slip them on over the shorts. For reference, 6'1 '', slim build and pants were right at a good length for me( I usually get a 32 '' inseam). Do the job as intended. Got the matching jacket, both work great.

I dug a trench in the rain, in January, during some terrible rains in the middle of the night to keep my basement from flooding. I was dry and comfortable in these pants.

Hey they actually keep the wind/cold air out and have moderate breathability. Works as advertised. Elastic band fits me well although there is no draw string.

OR Employee Schuyler - Supply Chain
I use these leggings for running in cool to cold temperatures, and they do great with sweat management. The pocket is in a much better spot than the previous version so that they can be used to hold a phone or energy bar with minimal bouncing. They also do well in PNW wet weather, keeping my legs warm even when soaked through with rain.
5
Roberto
Predominantly a cold weather running pant, though I have used it for nordic skiing as well. I find the pant performs exactly as I hoped, meaning that I can run in above freezing temperatures without overheating, but do n't freeze at- 10C. Excellent fit, trim but not tight, great freedom of movement.
5
Pat
Very pleased. I 'm shorter/stockier( 5'5 '' /170lbs) and the medium was great for me( 32 '' waist), although they fit a bit snugger than shown in the taller model on the website. VERY warm pants. I would have liked regular pockets as well, but the two side leg pockets work great for phone/keys. Great for shoveling snow or running and everything in- between!

This is my second pair of these pants. I think they are great. I use them all winter on mountain treks. Very comfortable and when it gets colder, I just layer with my merino wool underneath. I 'm 5- 7 '' and weigh 160#. And the mediums fit great.

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.

These are the most versatile winter pants I 've ever owned. The combination of breathable and fleecy warm fabric makes them wearable while traveling and perfect for most any winter adventure when you arrive. I 've worn them cross country skiing, snowshoeing, winter hiking, kayaking, and on the plane home. Layer on rain pants and and you'r good for almost any winter conditions. I also love them for camping, I thrown them on in chilly evenings by the campfire. The short version of these parts are fit me perfectly, the combination of fabrics are comfortable, and the cut is flattering and functional.

Banrai
I use these pants when hiking and camping in cold/damp weather. The fleece liner feels so comfy against the legs, and the outer shell is durable. These pants are extremely flattering, but I am not a curvy girl... I 'm more straight- shaped. I could see why a curvy figure would have some issues with the waistband. I am in the outdoors all the time for work, and these are a go- to pair for me in the colder and shoulder months. I will be buying more.
5
Rachel C.
I previously bought OR's Methow legging and loved them too, but these pants are even better. They are nice and stretchy, just like the Ferossi pants, but with fleece lining to keep you warm when cold weather hiking. I love the fit-- they have a slightly high waist, which was not obvious to me from the pictures, and I like that so much better than the low rise I find on most hiking pants. Another reviewer complained about the fit, but for me, a more curvy gal, the fit was perfect. I also love the side pockets, including one zippered one. They stretch a bit when wearing them so if you are between sizes, considered the lower size. I will definitely be ordering another pair and wearing these throughout the winter.
