Lightweight Hiking Pant - Okay

I would not classify these as technical mountain pants anymore, they are a very lightweight pant that would be good for hiking. The material is very lightweight and would not offer much abrasion resistance you would need for mountaineering. I wore them ~5 day for hiking and the material was already pilling. I miss the zip front pockets. The back pockets are too small to be good for much. I love that you still offer them in a short inseam. I am usually a size 10 or 12. I bought the size 12, they fit well, but we will see how much they stretch out.

Love These Pants

They are so comfortable, look nice and are light weight.

Great Pants

The pants are extremely light and so comfortable. When you move they move with you, no binding anywhere. If they get wet, they dry very quick. I would recommend these pants to anyone for any type of outdoor activity. They also look great for a night out on the town.

Great Fit!

These hug my body in just the right way and stay in the same position all day long. They are nice and thin, which is great for summer adventures! My only complaint is they are still a little long for me, but I need a 28" inseam anyway. I would 100% buy these again.

Love Em! More Fun Colors Peas!

These are so comfortable. Great fit. Great material. Please make them in more fun colors, eh.

Great Pant But New Material Is Loud And Scratchy

I have been wearing ferrosi pants for over a decade. They're great! Great fit, lightweight, and reasonably durable. However, the most recent fabric (as of 2026) is a major downgrade. It's stiff, coarse against the skin, and makes a super loud and annoying swishing noise like rain pants as you walk. Please go back to the circa 2024 fabric!!

Absolutely Amazing!!

I do lots of hiking and backpacking and have been looking for good hiking pants that don’t only look good on me but that were stretchy and breathable. And these ones check all the boxes for me. They also dry super quick and you can put warm layers underneath and not feel constricted of movement.

Fabulouse Design

One of the best designed pants I've worn. Except for a minimal visual impact zippered leg pocket, they look like trousers and can be worn for most non-formal events easily. When traveling they will pass for more with a good top. They are comfortable, wash easily, dry quickly, have DEEP pockets and two zippered pockets. The colors are nice. They are light weight & pack small. I am 5' 7", weigh 130lbs. Size 6 regular fit perfectly.

Favorite Hiking Pants

Probably my favorite hiking pants I’ve ever had. Actually flattering, lightweight not bulky, pockets in all the right places. Worn for work (biologist) and play in Hawaii. Back on the website to decide on what other color I want!

Please Make More Colors For Plus Sizes!

I love these pants. Super comfortable for all sort of activities, especially when it's hot. I have a pair in navy blue that I've put through the wringer and continue to mend ripped seams and patch holes. These are the best fitting plus size hiking pants I have found, including specialty brands that make only plus sizes. Please, please, PLEASE make these pants in more colorways!! Or at least offer the ranger green in plus sizes. It's baffling that that the options are black, navy, and TWO shades of off-white, including one that is inexplicably called "dark sand"??? You've got to be kidding me. I will wear my navy pants until they disintegrate. With any luck, OR will be offering my size in new colors before that happens!

Comfy!

Love these pants! They are so comfortable with just the right amount of stretch needed for everything from picnic’ing out on the patio, window shopping in town, hiking on the beach and in the redwood grove.

Too Short

I have purchased the exact pair of pants in Short before and they were perfect, these are too short, but unfortunately, I can't return them. Maybe I will have them altered to be shorts.

Great Even In The Heat!

I have 3 pairs of these pants. I work at beach park and wear pants 365 to protect myself from the sun. Only downside is keeping my phone in the back pocket has created a hole. Other than that they are my favorite pants for the hot humid weather in South Carolina. They fit true to size, form fitting, but aren’t restricting.

Fit Great

I love these pants. They fit great, wash well, and I get a lot of compliments on them. I’ll definitely buy in more colors.

Love Them, Want More Tall Women Options.

Love my ferrosi pants. They fit well, are nice and cool, great for day to day as well as outdoor activities. I want more! Would love to see more colors and tall options for women though since what is available is pretty limited.
