Ferrosi Joggers - Women's

Thin and durable

I gave these pants about 6 months before I wrote a review. Yes, the material is thin and you can see lines and such, but very stretchy and durable. I’ve gone on several backpacking trips and they’ve survived tree snags, devils club, tree pitch being removed with alcohol, washing frequently, etc. I wanted something with a slightly more slim fit than regular hiking pants and these are perfect. I’ve got longer legs and they’re great, but if you’re below 5’9” these might be a tad long. Overall they’ve earned a 5 star rating from me.

Extremely comfortable

The most comfortable waistband. It has some type of very soft liner in the waistband that is a treat. Yes, these are a little higher-waisted then my other outdoor joggers, but it works because you can easily and comfortably, roll down the waistband without bulk. Material is so, so comfy (and no swish/swish when walking, etc). I'm a 27/4 pants in Women's and probably could've sized down to an XS). Length great at 5'4 but the design is such that I can comfortably roll-up the bottom once and they still look 'cute' and are functional.

These pants are ok, I wouldn’t buy them again. The material is thin, you can see underwear lines, I don’t feel confident in them. I think if you have a really firm body they would be more flattering.

Great pant for all casual outings. Several trips to the rock climbing gyms and the trails, and loving it!

Please make these in bright colors!

I love these, favorite Ferrosi's so far. I am 5'4, 130lb and bought size Small. They are thin, so I don't expect them to last a super long time, but they are my favorite light climbing, guiding and hiking pants. If OR would make them in bright, skittles colors, with contrasting drawstrings, I would be overjoyed. If Or would also make a thicker, reinforced version for trad climbing, I would be doubly overjoyed.

Already heavily pilling after a few wears

I really loved these at first as a great casual or light technical pant, but they're already pilling everywhere after washing them 2-3 times. Way too expensive for these to be so cheaply made. Bummed that OR seems to be going downhill in quality.

This fabric is not durable

I wanted to love these. I love the fit and feel of these joggers. However, the fabric is not durable at all. I've worn them only two times and as another reviewer noted, they pill badly. On the first wear I only wore them casually and I noticed some pilling on the thighs. The next time I wore them on a short hike with my dog and there was a bad area of pilling extending from the seam by my left pocket out onto the top of my bum. I'm not even sure what would have rubbed there. They are now essentially ruined as they look too awful to wear casually now and will continue to get worse if I use them in situations that is hard on the pants.

Been looking for a pant to replace leggings

Love these. Love the fit, fabric and style. I usually wear leggings hiking but wanted something more durable and still flexible. These fit the bill perfectly. I'm 5'5", 155. lb and got a medium. They are a little baggy but not too bad. I like them a bit more flowy.

The absolute comfiest, but not at all durable

I was so excited to try these pants! I am on a trip in Nevada and bought these for the trip. The pants were so wonderfully comfortable for the plane ride. I wore these for our hike through Red Rock Canyon as well. That was the first adventure that these pants saw. I sat on the red rocks, never dragged my butt. The entire surface of the butt is thinning and the fabric is pilled. For such an expensive pair of pants, I am incredibly saddened. I was really looking forward to them.

Please make these in short sizes!

These pants are perfect for all sorts of outdoor pursuits! But I'm 5'2" and these pants are just too long for me. Please consider carrying short sizes. Thanks!
