What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "These are my favorite shorts for summer climbs and hikes. The Ferrosi fabric stretches just right, dries fast after river crossings, and feels super light. The 10-inch inseam gives enough coverage without being restrictive, and I like having a zippered pocket to keep keys or a snack secure."We pull on the Outdoor Research Ferrosi 10in Short when adventure calls and summer heat is in full swing.
