Why We Like The Ferrosi 10in Short
We spend our summers hiking, climbing, and backpacking all over the mountains wearing the Outdoor Research Men's Ferrosi 10in Short. Outdoor Research made this superlight softshell short out of stretch woven ripstop for rugged reliability and freedom of movement.

My new favorites!!
Just received my new Ferrosi shorts and am very impressed. Very lightweight (perfect for our hot/humid summers), breathable and the perfect amount of stretch. The secure zip pockets are perfect when out scrambling, won't loose any belongings. Stitching is strong and really like the 1 sided front mesh pockets to vent out heat and moisture. Only minor issue is they could be a little deeper. Otherwise fantastic shorts, you won't be disappointed at all

Great, but not quite perfect.

Fit is good and material feels solid and very flexible. The felt waste and is a nice touch too. Just wish they used a lower profile button on the waste closure.

Great features and fit
The fit of these shorts is great and I love the high functionality (zip fly, zip pocket), without the high weight. I'm a muscular thigh guy at 5'8" and 165lbs and the 31" fits great, very streamlined straight leg fit. Super comfortable for day wear so far - can't wait to take them on a 10-day hike this summer!

Great lightweight summer shorts
Love these as a lightweight summer short. I have a couple pairs in different colors that I rotate through. Really like the drawstring waistband and not having to deal with a belt. The ferrosi fabric is lightweight and durable. They look great too!

Excellent Shorts
They gave the Ferrosi's an adjustable waist draw chord so you don't have to wear a belt. Excellent shorts, high quality, nice fit, and feel.

Awesome pair of shorts, I've actually picked up 3 additional pairs. They are lightweight and comfortable and they dry quickly. After wearing these for several summers now I am also impressed at how durable they are. These fit true to size.
