Two slash drop-in hand pockets store our phone and keys, while an additional zippered pocket on the right leg offers extra security for smaller items.

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.

A for sure winner
These shorts are fantastic. The small I purchased fit perfect. Zipper pocket is awesome as I can keep a payment card on me and it won't get lost or fall out. I'll be buying every colour.

Go-to Shorts
Light, good looking shorts perfect for athletic movement, everyday use, or hiking (they can double as swim shorts if needed!) Not tear resistant, so not ideal for activities that could rub against or tear at them, great for anything else.

Can't stop wearing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't seem to stop wearing these shorts during this oppressively hot, Louisiana summer. I'm 5'10, 190lbs and 7 inch inseam shows a little thigh but not too much. Keep in mind there are no back pockets so carrying a wallet, keys, phone, etc. in two front pockets is a little annoying but I don't think the shorts would be as lightweight and comfortable with the pockets.

The perfect short
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts feel amazing to wear and are extremely comfortable. They are very light and feel great while working out of hiking.
