[ 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 used them for a week in the Cascades, an attempt on Mount Rainier in whiteout conditions and a successful summit of Mount Hood including a glissade on the way down. They were awesome!

[ 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.

[ Great rain pants for backpacking — super light. Ankle zippers are a bonus. No side pockets though, worth it for the weight savings. We 'll see how well Pertex holds up to UV and continual use over several years...

[ 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. I suspect it's more fun to talk in the woods with them and get sweaty, and I 'll try that too, but first rev of these in the field is positive.

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

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!

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.

Great pant for all casual outings. Several trips to the rock climbing gyms and the trails, and loving it!

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.

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.

[ 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 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.

[ Love these pants! Warm, fit well and water resistant. I used them recently for a 5 week trip in the arctic. They preformed well and held up great despite wearing them almost every day! They stretch well and so comfortable. 5' 5 '' 150#. Size 8 fit well, but not loose. Size up if you want a baggy fit.

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.

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.

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.
