Really solid pair of athletic shorts, I like that there is no liner to them, they are not too long and baggy but not quite PT shorts short. Light weight nice material.

I have multiple pairs of these shorts now. Great quality, durable enough to withstand consistent workouts and the outdoors for hiking. The 7 inch length is most comfortable for me, I like my shorts some distance from the knee. Also, great price!

The Outdoor Research - Men's Astro Short 7" is my favorite pair of shorts. They are super comfortable and stretchy, dry easily and don't look like a hot mess after a long day on the trail or in the yard. Please don't change these, OR.

New favorite shorts
I've had these for over a month now and >10 workouts. They fit great, size M for an athletic-but-not-huge guy, 6'2" 200# with a waistline that varies 31-33". Quick drying, great for runs and everything else I've done in them. They'll be right at home for daily wear when the weather warms up. If durability maintains, these are a 10/10 for me. Quality feels just a bit better than comparable Patagonia shorts.

Amazing Shorts!
Have not taken them off since I bought them 3 weeks ago, using them for lounging at the house to climbing at the gym. Lightweight and breathable.

Best shorts Ive ever owned
I bought all 4 colours, 6 foot, 210 lbs, athletic, large fit perfect. They are short but not too short. By far the best shorts I've ever bought. Would buy again and if more colours come out I'll buy those too.

Ultra confortable shorts for any use.
Super confortable shorts for sport or any activity. I wore them while travelling, while not as stylish as other Ferrosi models, they are definitely wearable for day-to-day use.
