Great hot weather pants
I bought these for competitive shooting events during the summer in GA, love the lightweight fabric and breathability. Only gripe is that they seem to run long. I bought 32” inseam, which is typical for me, but they are too long. I will be buying a set of 30” as they seem to be a great product so far.

Comfortable and lightweight. Loose around the ankles to allow for boots/high top shoes if needed. I wear them for work, biking, and walking/hiking

Lightweight, breathable, stretchy, comfortable
These pants exceeded my expectations. They are very lightweight, breathable, stretchy, and surprisingly comfortable. The inner waist ties are a bit goofy since they have belt loops, but overall, I really enjoy them on and off the trail. They are definitely on the lighter side, though, and seem like more of a fair weather pant if you aren't planning on running heavier base layers underneath. Highly recommended though, and quickly becoming my favorite hiking pants.

Size issues
I love the Ferrosi line, but there have been several times when the sizing chart and actual product do not come close to matching. Just returned a pair of the new pants that were about 2 sizes too small. I ordered the same size as my previous Ferrosi pants and shorts which still fit fine, but these were way too small (could not even zip or close the button). Paying for a return on a faulty product is discouraging.

These pants are great. I work outside as a land surveyor and these pants are the right blend of durability and light weight. Exactly what I’m looking for as the weather warms up. They are a little longer than anticipated and will go with the 30” inseam over the 32” next time (i’m 5’11”)

I bought these because I liked the zip-off Ferrosi's so much and these pants are great! Despite being in the same family, the fabric feels a little different between these and the zip-offs but still incredibly stretchy and breathable. Like the zip-off, these have the built-in draw string and leg cuffs which is handy for ditching the belt and being able to pull up the cuffs if you like. These have become more of my casual around town pant now because they're just so comfortable.

Lightweight and Breathable Comfort
The Ferrosi Pant is impressively lightweight and offers great breathability, keeping me cool even during intense hikes. It’s soft, flexible, and feels comfortable all day long—perfect for both outdoor adventures and casual wear.

Favorite pants
The weight and fabric is breathable light. It is the lightest pants I have hiked with. In areas where shorts are not the best option but it is hot these have been a life saver! I like the pockets and drawstring at the waist and ankles. Beginners and experts could both benefit from these pants. The only drawback is that it is thin fabric which can snare on twigs and tear. Pretty durable for their weight though.

Great for hiking, do not expect much for WR
Very comfortable hiking pants, great fit. Do not buy it for the “weather resistance”, 10 m waking in the rain and they will be soaked.
