light and breathable
great shorts for casual wear, even light gym use. Buckle built in is a plus, no belt needed

Love the Ferrosi line, but would change a few things
I love the Ferrosi line from OR, and have owned the jacket, the anorak, and these shorts. I really love the stretch of the material. Overall, these shorts are good but I have noticed a couple of things that are not ideal: one is that the pockets are pretty shallow and high/tight across the top, so it's not as easy to get things in and out of my pockets. Another is that some of the stitching has unraveled and so I'm worried about longer term durability. But they are comfortable for sure.

Same comfortable material as the pants. Also great for traveling. I like the built in belt, that is very easy to use and adjust. Very lightweight and great in hot weather!

Great hiking short, almost perfect
These are very comfortable very stretchy hiking shorts that don’t punch up. They move great with you. They have ample pockets the material sheds light water breathe very well and are durable. I’ve done probably over a dozen hikes in these shorts and I have two pairs of them and they are fantastic. The only complaint is that there isn’t a fly so you have to push the shorts down to go to the bathroom if they want to make them perfect they would put a zip fly in which I would prefer. I am 5‘7“ and 165 pounds and a lot of shorts are too long for me, but these are perfect in size medium

Great all rounder short
Great pair of belted shorts perfect for hiking or everyday use. Love the range of colors and the belt is super easy to adjust. I wear a 35-36' waist and the large fit me just fine. The inseam length is great for my style, not too long to give that dad bbq vibe but not 80s workout DVD short, if you know what I mean. The fabric feels really good and it dries sweat really well. Love how easily these can bead water, almost like a decent rain jacket! While they're no substitute for dedicated rain bottoms and the shorts obviously aren't gonna keep your legs dry, I've had them repel a decent amount of water when caught in a storm on a local trail. Got these to just have a nice pair of bright fun shorts to wear on summer hikes but the material is so nice I'm considering getting a pair of the ferrosi pants for the fall season. Highly recommend

Great shorts
They were recommended by a thru hiker. Took them out for a section hike and I won't go back out without them.

Not as good as the 10" Ferrosi
Skip these and get the 10" original Ferrosi shorts that have a real fly. These lack the better features of the 10" short and are also extremely unflattering. The hip pockets are cut horizontal instead of at an angle, having the effect of puffing out all the time.
