What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I basically live in the Ferrosi Shorts during the summer-they're tough enough for hiking and scrambling but light and stretchy enough for travel or even lounging. The integrated belt keeps the fit secure, and they dry super fast after creek crossings."From sun-baked trails to breezy bouldering sessions, the Outdoor Research Ferrosi Shorts are our go-to for lightweight performance in the heat. Built with the same trusted Ferrosi fabric that's made this line a long-standing favorite, these shorts combine abrasion resistance and breathability with the perfect amount of stretch for unrestricted movement. The bluesign(R)-approved fabric uses recycled nylon for a sustainable edge, while features like drop-in mesh hand pockets, a secure zip back pocket, and an internal drawcord give us functional performance on the trail or in town. Whether we're trekking, climbing, or catching flights, the Ferrosi Short delivers packable comfort, trail-proven durability, and all-day wearability in one warm-weather staple.
