Ferrosi Convertible Pant - Women's

New design and sizing

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Size Bought:

10

Height:

5' 4"

Weight:

138

I've worn a 10 in these forever, but lost a bunch of weight and could pull them off without unzipping so I ordered a new pair in an 8. Way too small, so I reordered a 10, still too small couldn't button the button, wish they would go back to the double snaps but that's another issue. I returned both pairs, called to find out they've redid the sizes and the new one also sit lower than the old one. I'm looking for another brand, I have 4 pairs, all 10's but previous style and they all fit the same, too loose.

Best pants for everything

I basically live in these pants almost all year round. Great for casual lounging, hiking, dog walking, gardening, you name it. Pocket is perfect size for a phone. Light enough to wear in the summer shorts, but work for winter as well.

Awkward Design

I am not a curvy person but the zipper part suffocates my legs. The connecting zipper sections are super tight and are uncomfortable to walk in or sit down. If I size up the waist will no longer fit. Be careful if you have even remotely built thighs

misguided features

I tried two sizes, same challenges with both: leg zippers felt uncomfortable on thighs, possibly because legs are cut a little snugger than many hiking pants of this type and the cloth tape tie at the inside of the waist created an awkward bunching right were it's needed least. Other hiking pants offer adjustability through elastic at sides or buttoned tapes. Also worth noting, the rise is exceptionally short.

I would buy again.. and HAVE!!

I use these for backpacking, and I love them! Normally, I have issues with getting pants to fit BOTH my waist and my thighs. if the waist fit, too tight on thighs, if the thighs fit, I had inches of extra space in waist. But these actually fit both, and fit both well! love these, highly recommend them!

Favorite hiking pants

I love these pants! They are so comfortable! They are lightweight which I love when I'm hiking. I could always add a pair of light long underwear if I needed them for a colder time of year.

Comfortable hiking shorts!

Great looking hiking shorts. Perfect fabric and length.

Versatile, but slightly tight thighs

I love the Ferrosi line. They are so lightweight and comfy. Easy to zip on and off the legs. But it's a little tight in the thigh, and I don't have very big thighs. I don't find it too uncomfortable but when you zip off the bottoms, the shorts fit light snug bermudas.

Ferrosi Convertible Pants

Better fit than the leggings....was hoping to get the leggings but they aren't for 5'3" and curvy.

Tougher and cooler than they look

Bought these for a solo backpack in the Needles district of Canyonlands. Flexed with me and breathed well. Only wish they came in Tall/Long. I'm 5'8" and could use another inch or two in the inseam.
