Ferrosi 10in Short delivers lightweight stretch, water resistance, and all-day adventure comfort
What Our Gearhead® 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. Built from a durable ripstop softshell, these shorts combine abrasion resistance with four-way stretch to keep us scrambling up boulders, charging trails, and lounging at camp in comfort.
Moisture-wicking fibers and a DWR finish keep us dry through sweaty climbs and light drizzle, while the lightweight feel makes them perfect for long days under the sun. A streamlined fit sits comfortably under harnesses or hipbelts, and the thoughtful pocket layout stashes essentials close at hand. Rugged, breathable, and versatile, the Ferrosi short is our do-it-all summer staple.

Great Shorts but Early pilling of the fabric
I like the shorts. They fit true to size and are comfortable. The only thing I have against them is that the fabric pilled around the pockets the first time I wore them.

Fab!
Just like the pants love these highly breathable and lightweight shorts. Perfect for all my summer adventures from boating to hiking. Will be getting more of these for sure. Sizing is spot on!

Great except for the front pockets.
Love the cut. Great, breathable material but front pockets are basically useless if you plan to put something in them that you want to keep. Not worth 1/4 of the price. Ferrosi pants front pockets are way better.

My new favorites!!
Just received my new Ferrosi shorts and am very impressed. Very lightweight (perfect for our hot/humid summers), breathable and the perfect amount of stretch. The secure zip pockets are perfect when out scrambling, won't loose any belongings. Stitching is strong and really like the 1 sided front mesh pockets to vent out heat and moisture. Only minor issue is they could be a little deeper. Otherwise fantastic shorts, you won't be disappointed at all

Great, but not quite perfect.

- I've used it several times
Fit is good and material feels solid and very flexible. The felt waste and is a nice touch too. Just wish they used a lower profile button on the waste closure.

Great features and fit
The fit of these shorts is great and I love the high functionality (zip fly, zip pocket), without the high weight. I'm a muscular thigh guy at 5'8" and 165lbs and the 31" fits great, very streamlined straight leg fit. Super comfortable for day wear so far - can't wait to take them on a 10-day hike this summer!

Great lightweight summer shorts
Love these as a lightweight summer short. I have a couple pairs in different colors that I rotate through. Really like the drawstring waistband and not having to deal with a belt. The ferrosi fabric is lightweight and durable. They look great too!

Excellent Shorts
They gave the Ferrosi's an adjustable waist draw chord so you don't have to wear a belt. Excellent shorts, high quality, nice fit, and feel.
