Most mountain bike shorts are just plain bad. They are way too long, way too heavy and make you look like a wanna be moto rider. Seriously, why are all of them made out of non breathable super heavy nylon that ends mid calf? If I wanted capris I’d buy capris. Now that I am done with that rant, let’s get into this review of the Outdoor Research Ferrosi Over Shorts. These solve all those problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years ago I picked up a pair of OR Ferrosi 3\/4 knickers<\/a> and used the heck out of them riding, hiking and climbing. When I saw these new Ferrosi over shorts on OR’s site I had to check them out. What makes the Ferrosi great is that the material is stretchy and is incredibly breathable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ferrosi Over Short has two front pockets and a zippered side pocket. The side pocket fits a phone perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ferrosi over shorts have belt loops, but also feature a 1.5″ wide elastic band. This makes for an incredibly comfortable short, no binding or extra bulk. I love that on the hottest days these are breathable and don’t get stuck on the combination of sunscreen and sweat covering your legs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another great feature of the Ferrosi Over Shorts is that they can be used off the bike. For hiking or multisport days these are fantastic. I am seriously considering unload all of my MTB specific shorts, these are just so much better. They are also made of 46% recycled fabric, what is not to love? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These shorts tick a couple boxes on our outdoor gear list: Comfortable, longer, modest shorts that strike a balance for hiking and backpacking, and the ability to layer over bike chamois for road rides or mountain adventures. Built with our all-time best-selling Ferrosi fabric, these shorts have the same trusted abrasion resistance, breathability, weather protection, and stretch that now comes in a 46% recycled material. On rock, trail, and water, from spring through summer and fall – you’ll be a happy camper if you wear your Ferrosi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
