Could Use A Couple Features

Shorts work well for mountain biking. The fabric is pretty light which is nice as I live in Utah and it is often hot here. I like that there are no back pockets to interfere with bike seat and the little zipper pocket works well enough. However, I would like some sort of belt-less tightening feature.

Like 'Em

I like the simplicity and the stretch. I bought them to mountain bike as I prefer the regular front and zip pockets and ability to wear a belt that some bike-specific pants don't offer. The extra star would have been earned if the pants simply also had back pockets. Why are clothiers steering away from that very inexpensive convenience (store gloves, wallet, etc)?

Best Shorts Ever!

I picked these up (2 pair) for a road trip through several national parks. The long inseam is incredible as I'm 6'5". They were amazing. Light, flexible, durable. They made my trip hassle free and comfy, even on 12 hour drives.

New Favourite Shorts

Great shorts for casual or active wear. I normally wear a 32 but ordered a 31 based on reviews and the fit is perfect without the need for a belt.

Wanted To Replace ...

After close to ten years, finally needing to replace two pair of these shorts-waist button popped off one pair and side pocket seam failed on the other. Really disappointed to see they no longer have back pockets. Why would you remove the back pockets?

These are my favorite shorts. Great for biking, rafting, and most everything else I do all summer long. The material takes a beating, and they dry fairly quickly. The pocket design keeps my wallet out of the way yet accessible.

Great Shorts

Extremely light weight. The stretchy water resistant material is awesome and they look very nice. Great shorts, I wear them often.

Favorite Shorts

I love this version of the Ferrosi shorts. I have spent far too much time and money trying to find shorts that met my expectations. These are durable, fit well, and are made of material that is light and stretchy. I don't overheat in these and they don't seem to constrict my movement. My only request would be for rear pockets and maybe another belt loop or two, but I understand why the pockets were left off this version as well. Overall, these are great quality shorts. I own several pair in different colors and they are always the first shorts I reach for when I have a choice.

Great Shorts

These are some of the best shorts I own the Ferossi material used in these shorts is amazing. It's light, it dries quickly and they feel and look great. The only thing I think they could work on is at the sizing run a bit small so you may want to size up.

I Would Strongly Recommend Everyone To Buy This Product.

I like the elastane fit and when hiking the ADK 46ers , they are very comfortable.

This Short Rocks!

So far I've used the short for three things mainly. Exercise (lifting and moderate duration cardio), single track biking, and gym climbing (bouldering and lead). Love the elastic band along the back of the waist it makes for a comfy fit. I feel the waist runs a little large. Normally I'm 31" and I got a 30" to fit well. Very comfy and movement is easy in them. They are a sharp looking short as well. I recommend them!

Best Outdoor Shorts I've Found!

The OR Ferrosi shorts are my go to's for outdoor adventure. Whether hiking, mountain biking or just kicking it, these shorts can do it all while being lightweight and easy drying. I'm 6'2" and the 12" inseam is perfect. Excellent product!

Great Lightweight Shorts!

I was looking for lightweight, quick-drying shorts for the hottest part of summer and these fit the bill exactly!

The Best Hiking Shorts Period!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These lightweight shorts are the bee's knees. They do run a little big on the sizes, however the elastic in the back provides enough give that even if you do buy them small, they will still fit. With the Ferrosi pants I wear a 33 regular, with these I bought the size 31's and the fit prefect. Will definitely buy again!

Ferrosi Over Short -12"

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable. I wear a belt because the elastic won't hold these up with a phone in the pocket.
