Ferrosi Pant - Men's

My favorite pants

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I’ve bought two different pairs of ferrosi’s and I am already planning to buy more. They are so comfortable and are great for casual wear or hiking. High quality like most OR clothing.

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.

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.

Like the cut, it's light weight but the fabric can withstand the wind.
