Great Pants

Pants that are so comfortable, sometimes it feels like you’re wearing nothing at all

Outdoor Research Transit Pants — 10/10, No Notes, Perfect Pants

After more than two years of wearing the Outdoor Research Transit Pants for… well, basically everything except a job interview, I can confidently say these are a hall-of-fame pair of pants. If OR ever discontinues them, I might have to file an official grievance. Travel Performance: I’ve worn these on multi-hour flights to Indonesia, and they truly transit well—comfortable enough to sleep in but not so pajama-like that you feel judged walking through customs. Lightweight, breathable, and somehow still looking presentable after 26 hours of questionable airplane posture. Everyday Versatility: These strike the perfect balance of “summer-ready lightness” and “in-town acceptable.” You can hike in the morning, grab tacos in the afternoon, then hop on a plane in the evening—and the pants won’t be the limiting factor in any of that. Trail Cred: For hiking and backpacking, the lighter fabric hits a sweet spot: just enough cooling when you’re moving, enough warmth when you’re chillaxing at camp, and a solid bug barrier when the mosquitoes organize their nightly rave. The taper is clutch—pull them up for extra airflow or leave them down when you want a bit more protection. Gym, Crag, and General Shenanigans: They’ve become a staple for workouts, climbing gym sessions, and cragging days. They move with you, shrug off chalk, and don’t complain when you’re sitting on a crash pad contemplating life choices. Durability & Fit: Thanks to the spandex blend, they will stretch out after multiple wears, but a quick wash snaps them right back into shape. After two years of heavy use, mine are still going strong—no unexpected ventilation panels yet. Final Verdict: If I had to choose only one pair of pants for travel, hiking, gym days, and everyday wear… these are it. Comfortable, durable, wildly versatile, and somehow still stylish enough to fool people into thinking you planned your outfit. 10/10. Highly recommend. Will buy again.

Nice Pant

It’s a quality product, I don’t wear them as much as I thought I would because I don’t like the way they fit my leg.

Best Dual Purpose Hot Climate Pants

I have several pairs of these pants and they’re my go to option for something that can be worn in a professional environment or out on the trail. Comfortable and useful without being overly technical looking.

One Of My Go To Pants.

love how light the pants are as well as their ability to limit tearing on barb wire to the immediate area of the tear with less spread and wear at the site than other pants I've had for a good price point!

Nice Material, Weird Fit

I like the fabric stretch and feel like my other ferrosi items but the cut on these is weird so I find myself not wearing them. The rise is surprisingly high, putting the waist line very close to the navel, but the fly is very short. I wear 34r/34x32 on nearly every brand, these pants are extremely fitted, almost close to leggings. The high waist and tight fit make them not very flattering

Nice Lightweight Long Pants.

Nice for warm weather. They breathe well and resist water well. I do wish the pockets were a little more substantial.

My Favorite Pant

If I was only allowed to have one pair of pants, the Ferrosi transit would be it. They breathe well on warmer days and are yet still warm enough for cooler days. I also like the "transit" version a little more than the regular version due to the slight taper at the ankle. These can be worn around town or on the trail. If you like the Ferrosi line, you'll love these.

Great Gift

Bought for my partner, he loves the fit and wears them when doing 14ers. Fabric is fantastic.

Durable!

I bought both the standard Ferrosi pants and these convertible ones. MUCH prefer the convertible version: the material is a little heavier and have held up much better. They also have a drawstring so I don’t need to pack a belt. The few times I’ve zipped the legs off they have worked well in shorts mode. Not too difficult to figure out which is which when putting them back on but I labeled then L and R in an unobtrusive place. Worth the few extra $ over the regular Ferrosi pants.

love the fit and look of these. they are not too slim for myself, being a larger framed guy. I wear them to work routinely in 90+ degree desert heat

Product is lightweight, durable, and very breathable. They are exceptionally thin which have me comparing it to a wind breaker. Handle the heat well and I’d confidently place them in the same category as sun pants.

Casual And Comfortable

OR has done a great job on the cut of these pants. They fit well, wear very comfortably and look great doing so.

Okay, Not Great.

I have had a pair for over a year. Fabric seems to loose elasticity pretty quick. Used to be a go to.

Pants Ripped

Poor quality during regular use
