"Get you some Baggies! Do it!.. You won't! -P"

Rating:*****
I've learned several wonderful things about my Baggies in our short time of being together. For example... GREAT for climbing! It's too hot to wear pants, and other shorts create that unsightly, unavoidable harness weggie bunch thing, gross. But, not my Baggies! Like to get dirty?? Do it! Roll around in the mud, climb a tree, wrestle in jello.. doesn't matter.. I've found that my Baggies don't easily soak up or set in stains, so washing them is a piece of cake! PLUS they have pockets! Not too many comfortable shorts have pockets, and good pockets at that. So, go ahead, put stuff in your pockets and walk around worry-free. Well, like I said, those are just examples of how great m

Best sport shorts!

Rating:*****
I love these shorts. They are the perfect length, made of lightweight fabric that dries quickly and that I barely feel. The waistband is not too high or tight and doesn't bind. They're just baggy enough that they don't choke me during activities yet not so baggy that I feel like I'm wearing men's shorts. They fit great over a bathing suit and work well for exercising, walking, running, tennis (the pockets hold several balls) and kayaking. I own 3 pairs and all have held up well for several years (except one with a print that pilled pretty badly). I'm always on the lookout for new colors!

"A classic wear anywhere and everywhere short from Patagonia"

Rating:*****
When the sun comes out, so do my Patagonia Baggies. They go everwhere with me from the trail to the grocery store. Built to last and made for comfort and mobility, these baggies are another Patagonia classic that is indespenible for warmer weather. They can be serious, cinch down the waist tie for whitewater adventure and loosen up for lounging on the beach. A great harbinger of warm weather to come, I even wear them in the winter when I want to pretend it is not snowing out!
Stacey at Moosejaw on 04/03/2009

"The best shorts ever."

Rating:*****
I really cannot say enough good things about baggies. They are my favorite shorts and with the DWR treatment, they're great for rainy days..it's like a rainjacket but you wear them on your legs :) I also wore them rafting and they dried before we even got in the van to go back up river. They're comfortable, true to size, and patagonia...which means great quality, great fit, recycled & recycle-able (is that a word? don't worry about it).
Kim at Moosejaw on 05/12/2009

Versatile, easy to put on and off, quick dry and durable!

Rating:*****
Great shorts in many colors. I used them mailnly for the beach and paddling but they are good as gym shorts too. If I want to go out with friends after paddlings, I just change my top. These shorts are already dry and look sporty. If they have one pocket with zipper they will be perfect. They are more comfortable and look better than the Columbia ones but the Columbias have zipper.
Abhiradi Viravaidya at Altrec on 07/05/2009

Very hip and flattering

Rating:*****
These shorts are great! I am a size 14/XL, so it really doesn't get any better than this. I was hoping to squeeze into a Large (I can fit into a Columbia Large), but it was not meant to be. Anyhow, these shorts are cool- of course... they're Patagonia. And if you're an outdoor poser like me, you'll look hip and thin (relatively) if you are hanging out in these bad boys.
Big Momma at Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) on 07/19/2008

Great Shorts-Great Price

Rating:*****
I love these shorts so much in fact that I have 4 pair. I use them over my compression shorts to exercise in. They move great. I also wear them (over thin bathing bottoms) with a tankini top as a bathing suit. I am very modest and I like the leg length. They've done great! I've even gone off the diving board with them on and they stayed in place.

My new favorite walking shorts

Rating:*****
I had shopped at a local outdoor store and tried on a dozen pairs of shorts. Nothing was what I was looking for, and the closest ones were very expensive. But, aha! Good ol' Sierra Traders came through again. These Patagonia shorts are lightweight, durable, comfortable, and quick-dry, too. They're just about all I wear for hiking or walking now. I'm glad I got two pairs.

"Find something you like, buy it in every color."

Rating:*****
I bought a purple pair of these shorts last summer and lived in them... so I decided to expand my wardrobe to contain more than one pair so I could wash between wearings... its necessary in the south with all of the humidity... they are amazing. durable. comfortable. I now have a pair for every day of the week, except sundays..laundry day...
Laura at Moosejaw on 03/19/2009

my fave shorts

Rating:****
Perfect short for any outdoor activity....very comfy, very breathable, and the pattern is cute. I personally wear them kayaking and hiking, but I can't think of any activity you can't wear them for. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the shorts don't have a liner/ built in underwear. But all in all, they're fantastic!

Negative Reviews:

Nasty Waistline

Rating:**
I liked the fabric and design, but the waistband was so thick that it made the shorts feel like a ton even though they were really light. The fabric would be a fast drying, even repellant type, but the waist is grating, heavily bunched and seemed tight while the rest of the shorts were indeed baggy. I'm a small person and these seemed like they were grabbing me in the middle. Definitely a return/exchange item for me.
Donna at Sierra Trading Post on 07/30/2008

Not impressed

Rating:**
The fabric feels plastic-like, the waistband is hard and torturous. I'm not sure what you'd use these for... maybe over your swim bottoms? The material felt like it would chafe if you were sweating and working out in them. Love the brand but will never buy these again, I returned them.

Did not like.

Rating:*
Did not fit well, too snug. Next size too big.

Neutral Reviews:

OK

Rating:***
I have had numerous pairs of these shorts for about 10 years and they do last a long time. But Patagonia does seem to change the styling slightly every couple of years. My complaint with these is the rise gets kinda big as the sizes go up, which leaves us short people( 5'4") with a choice. We can push the excess fabric down around our waists where it bunches up and is bothersomely bulky and pouchy! The other option is to pull the excess fabric up around you ears, if you like to wear your shorts like chest waders! So, just because we are wider in the butt area, it does not mean we are also growing in height!!!
Aurora at Altrec on 04/30/2002

"Large? Sure, Patagonia."

Rating:***
Okay. You know how sometimes Patagonia clothes fit perfect, and sometimes they don't? Well, here's a case where large seems to mean "slightly tight across the butt." These are great shorts, and were perfect for the beach activities I was doing in Hawaii. But I sort of hoped they would fit a little bit (LOT) better than they did. Also, they are a sort of funky purple-brown that I really wasn't expecting. I would say, buy them if you know they fit and you love them, otherwise, maybe think about ordering a size up.

"Seem like great shorts, mine were defective"

Rating:***
I ordered these for my trip to Alaska. They felt great when I put them on and they were very nice looking. However, one leg was about 1/2 inch longer than the other, and when I took them off I could tell that they were not sewn straight. I am returning these and hopefully the next pair will be sewn straight. I really love Patagonia products and these seemed like the perfect pair of shorts.
Kalie at Moosejaw on 05/30/2009

Classic

Rating:***
These shorts have been around a long time because they are simple and useful. The fit is too loose in the leg to be flattering but they are comfortable for doing almost any outdoor activity. I would like them better with a liner, like the men's version.
Ginger in New Orleans at Sierra Trading Post on 03/22/2009

Basic shorts

Rating:***
These shorts are made very well. Nice material and I love the purple color. They are a speck baggier than I like, but I plan on wearing them for casual use, over a bathing suit, washing the car, etc.
