The Outdoor Research Men's Ferrosi 10 Inch Short is a soft shell short for a wide range of summer adventure. Hike or climb your way to new places, with breathable, stretchy comfort attached to your hips. The nylon and spandex woven ripstop blend holds up against abrasion, offers UPF 50+ protection from the sun, and dries quickly during the pursuit. Treated with a durable water repellent finish, it even sheds light moisture, so push through the sprinkling of rain, shallow creek, and don't even worry about dribbling water out of the bottle while chugging all that hydration.

Some good revisions but mostly a regressionA few things are improved over the previous model but it's mostly a step backward. They fit smaller than before and the lack of a gusseted inseam greatly reduces mobility. I tried sizing up but ended up with a loose waist with still a tight fit in the hip/thighs. I'm sad I couldn't make it work. If they do fit you they're now better for casual wear than for hiking or climbing. The thigh pocket has been fixed over the previous version, it's no longer raised and has a nice depth. The fabric is still the same awesome Ferrosi fabric which is super breathable, stretchy, and durable. I just wish they got the fit right.

These are great, don't believe the bad reviewsAll the complaints I read about the shorts were from people that were bummed that the shorts were changed. This is my first pair of these and I really like them. The size feels true to fit in the waist, having the option for belt loops or the built-in drawstring is great too because the material does stretch out a bit over time. i bought these in a 31" waist when i measured my own waist at about 30" and sizing feels good. For reference I also bought the equinox shorts in a 30" and HATED the sizing and had to return them. I hope they last a long time cause the material does feel a little thin, so hopefully they hold up. Otherwise the OR guarantee is great!

Nice shorts..but not as nice as the previous versionGreat fabric and nice fit. The decision to update the current version of these shorts without a gusset has resulted in a noticeable reduction in range of motion/mobility. This probably will go unnoticed when wearing these shorts for casual wear, but the reduced range of motion is definitely noticeable when engaging in athletic pursuits. I suggest that future versions of this short utilize a gusset in the design.

Perfect outdoor shortsI LOVE these shorts, and perfect for normal outdoors-ing and travel. The Ferrosi fabric is durable but super lightweight and comfortable, the pocket arrangement is perfect (thigh zipper on the side, not encroaching on the front!), styling is streamlined, and they are offered in smaller sizing. Despite my waist measuring at 30" I find most shorts & pants listed as"30" really fit more like 32 and super baggy, so the fact that these are offered in 28" is exactly what i need. I wish OR offered more of their products in this size - or actually changed their measurement guidelines.

Used to be my favoritesThese used to be my favorite shorts, by far best fit, durable, light .. latest version is a big disappointment. The waist is heavier and tighter, overall fit is constraining. I'll be looking for the older model elsewhere or switch to a different brand. Very disappointing!

New version is too small & tightThese used to be my favorite shorts. The fit is now smaller both in the waist and through the thigh. The waistband is now bulky and heavy, probably because they added an unnecessary drawstring. I don't understand why you need belt loops and a drawstring. The added bulk also reduced the stretch through the waist. I'll be looking elsewhere for my new favorite short.

Outstanding Performance Shorts[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have several pairs of these shorts and they are very comfortable, with excellent functionality. Lightweight shorts that are comfortable and durable. Quick drying fabric.
