Decent lightweight pants but could be better

Got these pants for my summer fieldwork. So far they have been pretty comfy. Very lightweight and surprisingly windproof. The tall length option is really nice (but would be great if it were available in more colors). They did stretch out quite a bit so I now require a belt. The worst part I've noticed is the lack of a gusseted crotch... not super comfortable especially for a pant made for women and for such a high price. Fjallraven pants offer a gusseted crotch and are much more comfortable. I hope future design renditions consider adding a gusseted crotch for us ladies!!!

Very pleased with one minor issue

I have been searching for tall plus sized outdoor pats for a long time and I'm so happy to finally have a good pair. They are comfortable over all and I appreciate the small details like the draw string at the bottom. My only complaint is the unforgiving waistband. I have a pair of ferrosi plus size shorts too which I love but they have some stretch in the waistband which makes them a bit more comfortable. The waist band in these pants seems to have no give at all. It's not enough to be a problem for me, they still fit well and I would buy a second pair but that one change would make them the perfect pants for me.

I love these pants.

I love these pants. I have had several pairs over the years and the last forever.

Lightweight and comfortable

Lightweight, stretchy allowing full-range of motion. So far so good, I'll be interested to see how they hold up over time.

Why did you have to change the cut?

I have a few pairs of these pants that I've bought over the years and have loved them. The newest version, however, is much higher waisted - over 2 inches higher. Why did you have to mess with a good thing?

Comfy and hardy

This is my third pair of Ferrosi pants that I've purchased. I love the comfort and fit. As a short, curvy outdoor professional, these are my favorite pair of synthetic work pants I've owned.

Was looking forward to my new pants

Twice I ordered pants that were reported in stock. Both times, I added a pair of gloves to get the free shipping. Both times within 24 hours, the pants were cancelled but the gloves still shipped. I have no pants and I have too many gloves now, but it feels icky. It's hard enough finding quality women's plus technical outdoor clothing, but to feel exploited as well, I probably won't be ordering from OR again. Very, very disappointed by a brand I had tons of respect for.

Pilled and torn within the first week

After reading some reviews (e.g., "I'm an archeologist and these held up forever out in the field!") I had higher hopes for the Ferrosi pants than they bore out. I purchased them before a multi-day backpacking trip. I like the way they feel, though the material is thin enough that even keeping a hair tie in my pocket resulted in the outline of a circle on my thigh. I was disappointed to find a pull in the fabric on my first day wearing them (during which I rode a train--there was no major activity), but figured it was just bad luck. Then, a few days into the trip I realized that the material was pilling around the waist/fly. My backpack waist straps weren't hitting it, so it wasn't that--I still don't know what did that. And then I took a spill on the trail and tore a hole in the seat of the pants. (Not likely the pants fault, but thicker fabric would've held up better, I suspect.) In general I like these, but not enough to buy another.

Very stretchy, AND they stretch out alot, size down!

Super light weight, however i would size down. They fit perfect when i tried them on, then after about an hour of wear they stretched out almost a full size, making the waist way too big. They also seem to be wearing very quickly. I work outside as a gardener, and after about 10 wears they are starting to pill, the threads have begun to fuzz. If you're occasionally hiking in them as part of your rotation they will probably last longer.I also probably would not rock climb in them as I imagine they would wear out very quickly. They do dry fast, and are very comfy with a belt.

My new favorite hiking pants

I love the fit and feel of these! Maybe my new favorite hiking pants after being loyal to another outdoor brand's hiking pants for over a decade. They're also definitely wearable around town and can be dressed up.
