Ferrosi Pants

Stretchy and very comfy for all sorts of weather. HOWEVER - while you can put a phone in the side pocket you can't secure it there. The pocket is not long enough. The regular pockets are designed so anything in there that's hard means you can't bend your knees properly, for either squatting OR going up big steps - hard to use on trail or even for regular travel. Things need to be forced to sit sideways. Also the little tabs on the ankles to make the pants tighten or loosen fall off. Got lost. Generally a very decent travel pant otherwise, great if fixed. I used for hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc, travel around Europe for many weeks, and lots of Canadian hiking and general wear. This website now sucks, the AI is trying to overwrite as I type and is messing up everything. GAH. OR yikes p

I wore a pair of these pants for 5 months continuous hiking on various trails - rain, sun, snow, mud, you name it. They proved themselves over and over. The length was perfect and I often wore them with home-made ankle gaiters. Also as I lost weight on the trail (don't eat the local chicken!), I was able to use the string to cinch them in. Lightweight and quick-drying, they made washing on the trail easy, and the navy blue hid dirt and minor stains well. The fabric was stretchy enough to handle climbs, scrambling, and long days with a pack, and while they faded in strong sun over time, that didn’t affect performance. The right thigh pocket is perfectly placed and no issues with the zip, and the back pockets are deep which is handy. I never quite got the gist of the little elastic things and plastic pieces around the ankles, so wouldn't be disappointed if they disappeared. I do wear another pair casually, and ended up buying Ferrosi shorts for hiking as well. For comfort, fit, durability etc. I can't say enough. Please don't change this product OR they rock!
