Fantastic Pants

Used these on recent trip to Canyonlands NP. The light weight and breathability were great when sun was out and the SPF rating was helpful too. Importantly the stretchiness of the fabric made it easy to scramble up and down the canyons’ so called trails. Only issue could be durability on rough rock, but Just be careful.

Design issue.

I purchased these pants three weeks ago. First, I love the fabric. It is super light yet durable. In fact, my cat has clawed at me without any issue. They are very comfortable and articulated well. Pockets are great. Love leg pocket for my phone. Cons, the string tie belt is a bit weird and really does not work well. When not used, it is in the way. When used, it snugs up a little odd. They could do away with it. The biggest benefit and issue though is the cinch leg cuff. I love that you can cinch down the bottom cuff to be snug on your boot. This is so cool and keeps out ticks, etc. However, the mechanism that allows you to cinch the cuff can come off and did. The string does not go through it. So, after three weeks, the locking mechanism is gone and the cuff is floppy. I have reached out to OR but have not received a response. For $90, I would expect a better locking mechanism. Very disappointed but other than that, these pants do rock! I have in fact purchased another pair.

Good versatility

These pants are stylish enough to wear while traveling and they are tough enough to wear hiking or working.

Hideous return fee

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

There charge $6.99 for any type of return. It's so deep hidden in their policy. They are very much misleading people when they say 100% guaranteed returns.

A very nice pair of pants, thinner than expected. As a personal reminder, they are very comfortable to wear and have good breathability.

Awesome Pants!

The pants are so lightweight, stretchy and comfortable! They are my favorite pants!

Feel nice but baggy

Sent them back. Feel too much like your typical hiker looking pants. Didn't want that. Would be great my if they were tapered and but more form fitting. I kept the joggers. More my style.

I love these pants!

These have become my favorite travel and hiking pants. I bought one to try and now have several pairs. The fabric is lightweight and durable making it great for travel. They pack small. I also like the tie so I don't need a belt but could use one if I want to. The roll up legs are great when I need to cross a stream through the water but honestly, I would usually just walk through since these dry fast. The last piece is the pockets - They are deep which makes pulling my phone out slightly harder but I like it because nothing is falling out. I usually use the zipper pocket more but it's not needed as much with these. They are not something I would wear to work or for dressing up but I basically live in these every weekend and on any trips.

Great pants when they fit.

These have been my favorite three season backpacking pants for many years. The issue is that sizing is inconsistent. I am wearing a pair of 32 reg while writing this review and they fit perfectly. I just started a return on two pairs of 32 reg which arrived yesterday. Both pairs are two small. One of those two pairs is smaller than the other. This is a long standing issue with Ferrosi pants. OR sources from the cheapest supplier each year. Apparently, Bangladesh has now won the contract. Two years ago it was Vietnam. It is hard to understand the lack of quality control on an otherwise excellent product. By the way, the latest version lacks the crotch gusset. The gusset contributed to the pants flexibility when climbing uneven terrain.

Amazing.
