Outdoor Research Ferrosi Short 7" Women's

Pack these shorts for the trip where you don't know exactly what the day holds. The Outdoor Research Ferrosi Short 7" Women's handles a boulder problem in the morning and a dusty afternoon exploring a new town without missing a beat. The recycled nylon and spandex blend moves with every high step or stretch to a hold, then dries out fast once you're back in the sun. Wind cuts around you instead of through you, light rain beads off, and UPF 50+ coverage means you can skip reapplying sunscreen to your thighs every hour. A metal button and internal drawcord keep the waist snug through a long scramble, while the hand pockets and a zippered hip pocket keep your keys and snacks exactly where you left them. Whether you're hiking, climbing or just logging miles between flights, these shorts are built to keep up.
