Why We Like The Outdoor Research Ferrosi 7in Short
On both the approach and the send, the Outdoor Research Ferrosi 7in Short keeps us light and free. The stretchy material gives our hips full range for high steps, stems, and drop knees, as it wicks away moisture and dries off quick to keep us cool. With a soft lining and a low-profile internal drawcord, the waist sits comfortably under our pack or harness, while the 7-inch inseam minimizes chafe on long hikes and gives a comfy barrier between our skin and our harness's leg loops.

Great functional short however the material pills
I have several pairs and I love the fit and functionality of the shorts. However, the front pocket area has pilled so much so that it is almost embarrassing to wear them any place "nice". They used to be hike to dinner however now it is hike to picnic. I am not sure what it is about the material but I wish they would fix that.

Flattering, great color, but easy to pill
I love these shorts. Love, love love them. I love the color option, they're colorful, and flattering. Buuut they are already showing wear after a summer of regular, not overly grueling, use (think gardening, not rock scrambling or rock climbing). Cute and functional as all get-out, just may need to be manufactured using higher quality fabric in the future.

Fit great, love for long hikes and wearing in town. Easy to clean and dry fast. Excellent pockets. I do need to wear a belt.

Disappointed
Not like the older Ferrosi fit. If you like a looser fit then go up a size. I can’t stand anything that feels too tight. The waist seems higher and they tend to ride up in the crotch. My older pairs are from 2018 and I love them!

These shorts are flattering, comfortable and long enough to make me feel confident when recreating outdoors. They are wrinkle resistant and lightweight. I absolutely love them and got them in two colors!
