Too heavy for summer - Outdoor Research Ferrosi Pants - Women's

While these are clearly well made pants, and able to withstand the rigors of the trail, they are just too heavy to be comfortable for hot summer backpacks. I would consider using them for late fall or early spring, but sent this pair back as I was looking for ultra light and fast drying summer backpacking pants. Outdoor research is one of my favorite brands but these pants did not meet expectations.
