Best Outdoor Research pants for hiking and climbing
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 14, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Start with the Ferrosi — it's the pant Outdoor Research built its reputation on: a light, stretchy, abrasion-resistant softshell that moves with you on rock and breathes on the climb out. UPF 50+ for sunny days. It's the one pant most people can use for everything.
Who the others suit:
- Ferrosi Pants (unisex cut) — same fabric, roomier pattern if the men's fit isn't yours.
- Women's Cirque — alpine and cold-weather climbing, with Kevlar scuff guards where you jam and kneel.
- Convertible Ferrosi — hot approaches and travel where you want shorts mid-day.
- Women's Rialto Fleece Lined — shoulder-season hikes and camp mornings.
- Timberline 5-Pocket — a trim, tapered everyday trail pant.
