Why We Like The Ferrosi 7in Short

The Ferrosi 7in short is a tried-and-true short with a performance we can rely on for multi-sport adventures. It's soft, strong, stretchy, free-flowing, and ready for practically anything we throw its way. And yeah, if that includes getting wet, its fast-drying fabric is ready for that too.

Movin Real Good

Light, quick drying, just enough stretch to remain durable, I'm okay without a fly, decent belt. I wear these for a week straight backpacking they are now my go to.

Best shorts ever!

I have been in the market for a new pair of shorts of a couple of years now. Until I tried the Ferris shorts from OR I really didn't know what I was missing! This is my first time using OR's Ferrosi fabric and I can tell that it is well made. I have used running shorts from Nike prior to these which are lighter weight but not nearly as durable. I love how OR includes two back pockets (please never change this!) It feels like a full robust pair of shorts with the five pockets you get and the 7" inseam is the perfect length. I started with a pair in black and plan to pick up another pair when more colors are released. I don't have a problem with the included belt, if you tuck in through the belt loop it stays out of the way and hasn't bothered me. I'm 5'7 and the size SMALL fits perfectly.

Great color (great butt)

Flattering. Stretchy. Fantastic color. Dry quickly. Zippered pockets make them great for canoeing. No notes.

Great shorts, belt could be improved

I love the Ferrosi material and the general fit of the shorts. However, the belt could be shortened a bit, as right now to fit my waist (I have a pair of 30in waist Ferrosi pants that fit pretty well) I have to pull the belt pretty far so a sizable amount dangles, and because the other end of the belt is fixed to the waistband, the belt sort of pinches the waistband fabric when I pull it tight enough to be more effective than the elastic of the waistband itself. Overall, a super minor complaint for some nice shorts.

New favorite shorts

I discovered ferrosi pants this winter and instantly fell in love with the comfort/stretch, durability, breathability and simultaneous wind resistance, even the fit is pretty good for my XL body. I had a good feeling the shorts would deliver the same experience, and I am pleased to find that they are just as great as the pants led me to believe they would be. Simple, effective belt. Ferrosi fabric, zippered leg pocket. Perfect shorts! Definitely going to be getting more colors for this summer.

Color not as appeared on website

Nice pair of shorts. However, I wanted the vivid orange that was on website. The pair that arrived was definitely not that orange. Disappointed I have to pay for return shipping on shorts that are not as advertised.

My Go-To Climbing Shorts

Love the fabric used - light yet durable. Not hot. Love the zippered pocket for my phone on rock climbs. My go-to shorts for hot climbing days or hikes. Would recommend.
