We recently discovered that certain styles of the Capilene® Cool Daily and the Tropic Comfort product lines do not meet the 50+ UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating we claimed for them. They still offer solid UV protection—it’s just not as much as advertised. If you own one of these shirts, click below for more information.

I am a solid size 8-10. I tried the M on in a store and they were.... tight. The waist was good, the legs were good, I could wear them, but they were really really tight right around the middle of my butt. I couldn't comfortably put my hands in my pocket.
I decided to go up a size, thinking they just ran small.
There is a HUGE difference be... Read Moretween the M and the L in these shorts. Where the M could have been slightly bigger in the booty, the L SWALLOWED me. The waist was baggy, the shorts were at least 2 inches longer, they seemed to balloon around me. They didn't look comfortably loose, they looked like I had borrowed my husbands pants. It seemed like Patagonia didn't know how to make a decent looking pair of shorts for someone who needs a L.
I ended up going with the M, and I like them, but I wouldn't call them comfortable.
If you're ordering, I would say the M is much closer to a small 8 while the L is much closer to a 14.

comfortable, well design for different activities.
this short is the perfect length for hiking(doesn't restrict when hiking). Love the pocket on each side. Wash and dry so quickly. The fabric is perfect thickness.

They were super true to size and theyre wonderful for day-to-day activities. Ive been looking for a pair of shorts that were fashionable, but were still long enough that they were comfortable, and these were definitely them. I would TOTALLY recommend.
Purchased for my daughter who is very petite. They fit in the waist, are cute and very comfortable. However, they looked way too long on her small frame so we re-gifted to her taller sister and ordered the shorter length barely baggies in xs that fit perfectly and don't dwarf her :)
I sized up because I was looking for a more baggy style but could have stayed with a XL (pant size is a 16). Love love love these shorts & buying additional colors straightaway. Perfect for hiking & good looking for day to day running around.
Love these! They are super comfortable for hiking and I've also worn them kayaking. As many other reviews state, they are a bit snug to get over the hips but once on are perfect and even a little baggy around the thighs as the name advertises. (I do have pretty narrow hips so if you are curvier they may not work as well)
I really like the look of these, but as other commenters have pointed out the fit can be weird. The seam along the butt is kind of high -- it feels almost thong-like which isn't awesome. It would be better for smaller/slimmer folks. I think this is an ongoing problem with Patagonia, where the styles seem catered to sizes XS-S and don't fi... Read Moret well when you get to L or up. If you have a muscular or somewhat big butt, most Patagonia bottoms aren't gonna fit unfortunately. Please just adjust the butt seam on these!

Breezy
The shorts are the right size, however, there is gapping between the waistband and the butt. It poofs out slightly more than desired.
Runs a little big. It feels very baggy on me (perhaps that is why its named baggies). I use the drawstrings to cinch in the waist so that it fits but then the fabric bunches up in a weird way that makes the shorts look almost parachute like. Its a lil weird but I got many compliments on them so far because they are cute (the tiki pattern). I also d... Read Moreont like how the leg openings are very roomy so that I feel like you could see my underwear when I squat so I wear my shorts with under armor compression shorts underneath.
Its cute and I like that it has a little cord inside the pocket to attach your keys to it. I also like how lightweight and water resistant they are. I wear a size 25 in jeans if that helps. I would have liked to try the xsmall but im too lazy to deal with the whole return and purchase another one.
The length on these is great since they do need to be worn at your true waist. If you want to wear something lower, you will need to size up. I like the feel, and the deep pockets. Only wished theyd had more in my size at the time!
Baggies perfect, but some qualms with other products
These baggies are perfect and I love the colors, but I wanted to say that I am not always pleased with the selection of colors for women's garments.

Its a catchy title
I love the over all quality. But, the cut is a little odd.
Im obsessed with these shorts. I wear them daily and have several colors. Im a midsize gal and prefer the looser fit of the large. I usually wear size 8/10.
As many reviewers have noted, these shorts run small in the waist. They are challenging to get over my hips, but once they are on they are super comfy!
I genuinely love these shorts. They arent so short that I worry about flashing anyone, and theyre not so long that I look like Adam Sandler. The pockets are huge, and filling them doesnt weigh down the shorts. I know others didnt like the lack of lining, but I appreciate it since I prefer to wear underwear with my shorts.
These fit a bit awkwardly, and they vary pair to pair. I got one pair in the turtle print and another in the multicolor. Both are difficult to pull over my hips (perhaps they need a bit more stretch or a zipper), but once they're up they're OK. Weirdly, the turtle ones are a bit loose at the waist, but the multicolor ones fit pretty well.... Read More
Really nice shorts. They fit well but feel a little big on the leg area. Other then that love the shorts will be buying in more colors. Super comfortable as well!
Product true to size chart; I was between sizes and ordered the medium. I would like more room for stepping over obstacles on the trail and have returned them for a large size.
Great length and comfortable material. I'm 5'5 and between 110 - 115 lbs and ordered an XS. They were slightly large upon arrival, but after washing and drying they fit perfectly. Worth the money and will be ordering more colors.
These shorts are nice and fit perfectly - after I manage to yank them over my average sized butt. Very difficult to pull on and off because the waistband does not stretch at all. Once theyre on, the waist is good and the legs are a nice loose fit.
great fit. I would get another pair just like them in another color but not crazy about the multi colors and I already have plenty of black and skin color.
These are all around great but I enjoy them best around water. I can get them wet knowing they will dry quickly. Pockets are great but Id love a back pocket. A little bit of stretch on the shorts would be nice too. But I love them just as they are and I know Ill have them for a long time.
Unfortunately these shorts are not for women with a curvy or muscular booty. At first, I tried on an XL at Dicks Sporting Goods and it was too tight in the hips. Then ordered a 2XL from Patagonia. Those were wayyyyy too big. They fit like they were a 4XL. The sizing gap between them was huge! No part of them fit right! I guess no baggies for me unt...

Great Shorts
These shorts are perfect for anything. versatile and water resistant, theyre great for a pool day or a impromptu mid-hike swim. Theyre super cute and I have pretty thick things that arent restricted by the leg opening. Cherry on the top is the pockets can actually hold your phone unlike tons of other womens shorts. Would recommend!
They come up to the small of your waist and look great. Dress it up or down they are really cozy and just the kind of everyday shorts I was looking for. The fire red is more of and neon orange in person zero resemblance to red in person. But the melon and black identical to the photos
I used to purchase these when they were only MENS and cut the liner out. Not its amazing we have our own. They fit perfect, just enough room for hot day and long enough to feel protected.
I have the Barely Baggies and I love those but I find them to be a little too short sometimes so I tried these. If you have any kind of butt or thighs and a small waist, you will struggle with these. I am a power lifter, 5'10", 170 lbs with muscular thighs and butt. Large falls off of me and I can't even tie those tight enough to sta... Read Morey on, but the mediums are SO HARD to get on! They need to incorporate some kind of stretchy fiber so us thick gals can actually wear these without struggling!

I love baggies, this is my third pair!
I am very slender, 22 waist and 31 hips, the xxs fits great. I have a pair in xs and they are very large on me, but I wear them for climbing. Id recommend these to absolutely everyone!

If you have curves you may want to size up one for more mobility :)
I love these shorts! I wear them everyday! They run a bit small in the waste. I am 5'4"/115lbs and the small fit better than the XS. I struggled to get the XS over my hips.
Despite having wider hips and most reviews stating the shorts didnt fit on the hips correctly, I wanted to give these a shot. Im 57 and weigh around 140 and the shorts fit great if you treat them as more of a high waisted pair of shorts! Very flexible, cool, and great for all sorts of activities. Cant wait to get more!
I mostly like these shorts. I got the bright blue color, which I love (otherwise was pretty disappointed in the color options this year). I'm 5'7" and 145 with an athletic/runners build. The reason for the 3 stars is the waist is weirdly not very stretchy. I don't have particularly large hips but it is a little snug pulling them... Read More up. I'm kind of between a small and a medium right now and I definitely had to go with a medium in the waist. These are great for hot hot days at home or out on the water/in the woods. I hope Patagonia improves the waistband and colors in the future. I also agree with other reviews that they aren't super great for all sorts of movement and are somewhat restrictive if you're doing lots of up and down or side to side.
I got these after I figured out that there was no way I was going to have another summer of wearing jean shorts. The shorts are so comfortable and make me feel so good! My only complaint is that there aren't more colors. Please make more colors!!!! I WILL BUY ALL OF THEM
I have a pair of these shorts from the 90's that are still in great shape. They are a size medium and I Love them. I wanted another, newer, less worn pair. I got these in a large.

I have a pair that is about 7 years old....love them. Still wear them. For the last several years I have been looking for another pair or three in different colors.

Dream shorts!
I'm 5'8" ish with a 24" waist and slightly bigger (around 36-37") hips. The XS in tidepool blue is my perfect fit! It is certainly a slight squeeze putting them on, and I do cinch the waistband. But once they're on, they're the most comfortable shorts I own!
These are my favorite shorts. I wear them all the time, they're fast drying, have a loop to clip keys to, and are extremely good quality. That being said, it's a tight squeeze over my hips and then I have to tighten the drawstring all the way to fit my waist. I will still continue to wear them but if you don't want to spend two minut... Read Morees trying to pull them up all the way then they aren't for you.
I want these shorts so bad for camping and summer life but they just dont fit women with hips. I wear a medium in overalls, tights and small in tees and jackets. The medium is too tight on my hips but huge in waist and the large falls off.
PLEASE make these for curvy bodies. We like the outdoors too!
After reading the reviews, i was uncertain if I should get a M or L. I am a 29 waist with wider hips. I am so glad I went with medium! They fit perfectly!! Like other reviews said, it is a bit of a squeeze over the hips but once they are on, they are roomy at the hips and below. i love that they hug my waist but are looser below the waist so I dont... Read More mind that i have to squeeze into the waist part. So comfy. I will probably exchange the melon color because they are brighter than i expected.
I really wanted to love these but sadly I can't wear them. They are strangely tight through the hips. I normally wear a small so sized up due to other reviews mentioning this hip issue, alas even a size up didn't fix the problem. A size L would be too big in the waist and legs so sizing up again is not an option. Sad to return.
first off, i love patagonia clothes and gear. they last a long time and quality is great. second, they fit around my athletic hips and thighs, which i love. best pair of shorts ive found. HOWEVER, please make a 7 for the taller (older) ladies. im in the 36-46 age group and really tall. the 5 baggies just dont feel appropriate for me to be out in pu... Read Moreblic, but i cant find 7 shorts anywhere that sit at my natural waist, sit flat at my stomach, and fit loose around my hips and thighs. ive spent hundreds of not more dollars looking into other brandsathleta, grammici, columbia, eddie bauer, topi designs, etc etc etc, and ive even tried the patagonia mens baggiesand nothing fits except the womens baggies, but they are too short!! if youd make a 7 style for the older and taller people with hips, ill buy a hundred pairs.
It seems like there is an enormous difference between an XL and an XXL. I returned the XXL (I like my shorts a little bit baggy, but these were huge) for the XL and they fit fine but could be a bit looser. I wish they would make them in 7" inseam for women.
While the XLs fit I buy the XXLs so they are even baggier and longer. I use them over my swim suit to Kayak . They work well as they are cute and comfy and dry fast. I wish there was a longer option with the same baggy style.
At first I did not like the fabric, but after the second wear it loosened up and I really like the quick dry characteristic. I will be wearing these all summer long for basically anything outdoors! Great purchase.
It's been years (maybe 15+) since I bought a new pair of baggies. These shorts really are the best and it was finally time for a replacement.

Great for paddle boarding etc.
I usually wear a large, but Patagonia usually runs a bit small size wise for me and this was no exception. I'm pretty disappointed that they aren't baggy!
I never wear shorts. I wanted to get 1 pair for this summer. These are great. They fit well, very light weight, great length and wonderful pockets hold my iphone12 max without an issue.

I have always loved the patagonia baggies. I wore the 2.5" length for a whole summer of kayak guiding but wanted a longer fit. The longer fit is great and feels like more coverage. Dries really fast.
LOVE the Baggie shorts, even after all these years!
Hands down my favorite shorts. I've been wearing them since they made only men's and I would cut the liner out, and now that they make women's I've been wearing the same pairs since the early `00s.

Well, I cannot tell a lie. I have loved turtles since I was a child and when I saw these shorts I had to have them! I usually buy the mens and cut out the mess. This was much easier. Super comfy. The leg openings are a bit too big for me. I would buy again.
I really wanted to love the Women's baggies because of the material and versatility, but the sizing is off. The M hugs my hips and butt and just doesn't feel right. I opted for the Men's S instead and feel much more comfortable with the high waist and coverage.
These shorts are actually a practical but cute length. I like the wider leg fit, and overall they are the perfect short for when I want to dress more masculine or laid back. These are true to size. I am 55, 140 lbs, and athletic and the size small is perfect. These are not flattering on the butt if that is what you are doing for, but personally tha... Read Moret isnt my interest when I grab these to put on.
These shorts are great but they run small in the backside. When I opened the package and tried the shorts on the waste and length were fantastic but the backside was a bit tighter than I expected. I had to return them because I didnt have the required range of motion to keep them.
These shorts are so comfy and cute. Perfect length not too short so theyre modest but also not too long that they look like boys shorts. Love the material and love the style.
I got these at the beginning of spring hoping they would fit and be comfortable enough for a variety of activities this summer. I have worn them so many times already and they go with everything in my wardrobe which is a huge plus. Thank you Patagonia for making such a solid pair of shorts!
Love the print and the length. The waist band is not very stretchy and is a little small compared to my other baggies. Hard to get over the hips and booty but fit well around the waist. I wish they had a little more stretch to make getting them on and off easier.
I love these shorts so much. I had them in my cart for 3 years and kept almost buying them, and I can't BELIEVE I waited that long. If you're thinking about it, take this as a sign to buy yourself a pair of baggies. You won't regret it!! I use these for work, hiking, casual wear, climbing, running, and honestly anything else. I can&#... Read Morex27;t recommend these enough.
Comfortable, so much so I am going to get a second pair in another color! Flattering, lightweight, highly breathable but durable. Flat enough waistband they will work for backpacking and climbing. I wish they had a zipper pocket for my house key when running. I am 5'5 115lbs and got an XXS.
I could not recommend these shorts enough, they are extremely comfortable and cute (in my opinion!). I got a size small, and I am around 5

These shorts are such a thick material, similar to a thicker swimsuit. They are perfect for any physical or outdoor activity. I am excited to wear them as a counselor at day camp this summer!
Only wore these out once so far, but really liked them! The color's a vibrant blue, they feel durable and well-made, and fit well (good length!). I'm a 26" waist, 38" hip, pear shape and the size small fits great! No need to shimmy over my hips. Can't wait to wear them on trips.
I really love these shorts, I would say size up if you want a baggier fit. Im an xs/0/25 and I got a small. The paint brush red is definitely more orange, but still a gorgeous color. Cant wait to hike and swim in these!
I ordered the baggies in Saffron color. Im 56, 135 pounds and ordered a size S. Fit was great, but when I turned around to look in the mirror, the shorts were very sheer.

I don't know how these shorts could fit anybody - they are way out of proportion - the waist is too tight - the leg openings are the circumference of a California redwood tree - huge.
This is my 4th pair of the Baggies and I cherish every one of them. I wear them almost every day when it's warm out. They pack lightly, dry quickly, and last through years of wear and tear. It also helps that the colors and patterns are always amazing and eye-catching!
I got these shorts for paddling and bumming around at the lake. I've had my eye on them for years after knowing guys who have loved them.

I'm already a big fan of the short's versatility (biking, hiking, hammocking), they're obviously activewear but in a smart way.

I wanted to love these based on the positive reviews, but I ended up in the negative review camp. The crotch is too low and the waist definitely runs small without much give despite being elastic.

These shorts have great pockets, accommodate a tummy and are a terrific blue - plus well made. However, by the nature of the material, they don't contour to your body, they drape to their design. It's a trade off for wanting a walk/run short that is longer, that has pockets, that is stylish, that accommodates a tummy. If they draped I... Read More7;d give them five stars.
These shorts are my summer uniform. Have converted my mother and sister in law as well. Theyre comfortable, dry quickly, move easily, and the colors are so great. Literally have 8 pairs. They fit consistently with other Patagonia stuff, maybe a little smaller than some leggings, but theres some stretch
I have had two pairs of the men's Baggies shorts for TWENTY FIVE YEARS and they are still holding up strong. My husband bought me a pair of women's Baggies for a present - I was excited to have women's ones as I thought they'd be a bit more fitted. But wait - no back pocket, unlike the ones I already had? I was confused and thou... Read Moreght maybe they've eliminated the back pocket over the years for whatever reason. But I looked online and nope, the men's shorts still have a back pocket. Does Patagonia think that women do not need to carry things securely too? Do they think we are doing sports carrying a purse or something? Do they think most women who shop at Patagonia are so vain that they care more how their butt looks than actually being able to carry their phone or wallet with them? (And if they did care, they could just elect to not put anything in the pocket). I know from the Baggies that I already have that it's quite uncomfortable to carry something heavy (like a phone) in one of the front pockets when running or doing anything where you are moving a lot. The back pocket is much more useful. Please add this to the women's shorts. I still gave 4 stars since the original ones I had have held up for such a ridiculously long time and these otherwise look similar, but I will not purchase another pair of women's shorts without a back pocket.
These shorts are so versatile and comfy! Once I got them I started wearing them almost everyday for morning yoga, skateboarding, or just a comfy outfit at home. It's slightly on the looser side, but fits perfectly when you tighten the drawstrings.
I am 42 years old, 5'6", 160 lbs. I wear size 6 on bottoms, and as per size guide, I am a small. Fits perfectly, except for the waistband. It just lacks that stretch when you're trying to take them off. Waistband fits ok on my actual waist, but super tight getting them through my hips. I did not size up, kept my size small, because t... Read Morehe medium would then be too big overall.
The waistband situation is a bummer, but I would still recommend you purchase these shorts. In fact, I bought another one a few weeks later.
Comfy and perfect swimming shorts - but be aware of the waist size!
I love these shorts. Perfect for summer - swimming, hiking, camping etc. I have a 26" waist and the XS fits me well on high waist, BUT they are a little snug. I tried the small and those were falling down my waist! I wish the XS was a little less snug and had room to breathe a little.
I opted in to get the longer baggies because I have a bigger bottom and wanted it to all be covered. These are great. They are water repellent, light-weight, and so comfy. They also have and elastic band. These are my go-to shorts and I wear them all the time. They kinda feel like swim trunks.
5'7" / waist 31" / hips 36.5" and the mediums fit perfectly. The small is a little snug on the booty and I still have them but my mediums are my go to. I seriously live in these. Recently went on a weekend outdoor climbing/camping trip that included a dip in the river. The rest of my clothes smell horrible and my baggies have a ... Read Morelittle bit of a smell if I stick them against my nose. Lighter colors easily get dirty but are really easy to clean since they repel water (I've even easily gotten blood stains out of the light beryl green using hand soap in a bathroom sink). Great for swimming in because they dry with a quick wipe from a towel or a few minutes in the sun. Great for biking because there are no seams in the saddle area. I'm to the point that I try to wear these out so I have an excuse to get another pair. I look forward to that day when they need a repair because that means both the shorts and I lived a good life.
I have probably 15 pairs of these shorts and I notice the current cutting is slightly slimmer than previous seasons. I absolutely love how comfortable the shorts are and I live in these shorts for the entire Spring, Summer and beyond. The material is tough and durable and the colors are always great.

They're so comfortable and I never get tired of them. Please bring back the slightly baggier cut from previous seasons as it's more flattering.
These fit exactly how I was hoping they would. I can't stand when shorts are too tight and I like them to have a baggie look/feel and these are perfect. I purchased to use for just casual wear and also hiking -- I haven't gone on any big climbs with them yet but I plan to wear them on my next hike. They seem like they'll dry quickly ...

I was already to get nostalgic with a new pair of baggies, but even though I tried two different sizes, couldnt find one to fit! The sizing is way off as one size is skin tight, the next falling off!!

THE BEST
Literally the best shorts! Great length - not too short not too long (Im 49) - great pockets - comfy - and cute! Worth the money!
Like the 5" inseam and no internal mesh liner. Pockets hold my iPhone. Comfortable for all-day wear. As a guy, this design is better than the traditional men's 5" inseam version. Wish Surfboard Yellow XL had been available when I ordered.
Everyear I look forward to purchasing the womens 5" insean baggie shorts. The solid colors are nice but the prints are the worse every year. We need more allover tropical prints. That melon print looks like floating shrimps. Please, please, please come out with some nice tropical prints for spring 2021. Maybe you can revisit your old popular p... Read Morerints pallettes from the past. Thank you! The fit is great!!
I am 5' 3" and weight abut 116 lbs, I bought the XS size and they fit great! I l love that these shorts are a little high waisted too! I got them for sailing and and they very comfortable, quick drying, and sturdy. I also found that the right pocket has a small elastic loop in it for attaching things to! Pockets for the win! My only disap... Read Morepointment was that, even though these shorts are made of recycled materials, they still come in a plastic bag that is difficult to recycle. Also even though Patagonia uses paper for their tags, the tag is still attached with a plastic loop. I would love to see Patagonia move to using more biodegradable packaging!
I'm 5'6 and pretty athletic with most of my muscle in my thighs/butt so shorts sizing can be a gamble, but the medium fit me REALLY comfortably and were a little on the loose side!
The material is perfect for more rugged trails with scrambles and/or rougher outdoor adventures.
They are definitely worth the price!
If you are shorter (5'1-5'3) and have any sort of hips, I would not recommend these shorts. The width of the legs clearly was the right size but I could not get the waistband past my thighs/hips at all.
Hi Emily, thanks so much for your review and we're really sorry that the waistband was too restrictive. Please don't hesitate to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) your Baggies if you were looking to do so. Your feedback has been passed along to the appropriate team.

Rugged and Cute
These are great all-around shorts that I use for both casual wear and for hiking. They are well made and I feel like I don't have to be too careful in them to avoid ripping or staining them. It is for this reason that I bought my 7 year old son four pairs of Baggies in his size!
I bought the 5" pink palm fronds for myself, which is a uni... Read Moreque color combination and pattern I receive lots of compliments on. My only minor issue with the shorts is that they "puff" out a little at the top under the elastic waist band in the back more than I would like ( which luckily can be disguised by the position of my shirt). Good shorts overall though!
I am 54 and around 160 lbs. I go between a size 6 and 8 so I bought the medium. I feel they are a bit snug and wishing I would have sized up. They fit, but I would have appreciated a little bit extra room.
I bought a small, Im 56, 130 lb, athletic build, 27in waist 38in hip. They are so comfy and the 5 inseam is perfect (I was worried they would be awkwardly long). No liner, so probably wont wear for running, but theyll be perfect for kayaking, climbing, hiking, and even swimming.
These shorts are amazing. A great length (not too short to freak out conservative moms and not too long to prevent my thighs from tanning). They're super comfy, and are great for crop tops or tucking a shirt French style or full on. I got them in pigeon blue and like that they're almost denim neutral but have a bit more pizzazz. I want at... Read More least one more pair because I literally have worn these 6 days a week since I bought them in May. If you're reading this review, just go buy them already you won't regret it.
A little over a week, and my baggies are my new favorites for outdoor activities. The loose sizing gives a different look than athletic shorts, but they dont ride up and are extremely comfortable. A little pricey, but worth it in my opinion.
I bought an x-large because other Patagonia shorts (not baggies) have run small. These ran much bigger. I was too lazy to mail them in to exchange and just rolled the waist band sometimes. I used them to hike all over, especially the high peaks in the Adirondacks. This is the perfect short for booty scootin' down those rocks. Other shorts tore... Read More from trees, booty scootin', etc. but these were awesome. Love the pockets!!! Perfect for a mid or post dip in the water as they dry fast. I'm in love.
these are amazing and well worth the money! they fit well and are very comfy. good mobility and great material. also love that there are pockets its a big game changer!
I'm very pleased with my purchase, kinda bummed that the colors sell out so fast in my size though. Will definitely purchase more in future. Perfect baggie/retro fit. A wise investment.
I now have two pairs of these shorts and absolutely love them! I use these as every day wear and wear them hiking and biking as well. They are super comfortable and dont ride up like most other shorts. Highly recommend!
sturdy material. great for hot summer days. deep pockets enough to put my cell phone and various other stuff like mask and keys.
has inside tie to keep in place. otherwise can fall off my waist.
I love these shorts. They are great for hiking, walking, hanging out. I like the fit-loose but not too loose, and the length-great coverage/not too long or short. I wish I ordered more because they sold out so quickly.
I've had these shorts about a month now, and I wear them any chance I get! I got a size medium because they were out of smalls in the color I wanted, so they're a little baggy on me, but the drawstring keeps them held up. However, the waistband isn't very stretchy so I have a bit of a hard time getting them over my hips, even though ... Read Morethey're loose on my waist. Otherwise, these are my favorite things to wear because I feel like I can do anything in them!

Very comfy! And great for hot summer day!
I love these shorts they are amazing for doing anything from hanging out with friends to hiking up a mountain. The fabric is breathable and dries very quickly!
I really do love these shorts and the colors. But its made for women that have no shape. When I pull them up its a little hard to get over my butt. Once they are on, they fit okay just a little snug around the hips. I still wear them because I really do like the material and theyre easy to match with other clothes.
I tried these on last year and decided no to get them but wanted to give them another shot since they are so popular. At first they seemed too, well, baggie but Ive gotten used to the fit and really like them. They are cute and comfortable. I originally got them for water sports but have only worn them casually so far. I plan to get other colors.
I love how lightweight the shorts are!! If they get wet they dry quickly & are really nice for hot days in the summer. Only problem with the shorts is the waist band is rather small on both small & mediums.

Patagonia baggies- my old friend that never wears out. Bought my first pair in the 80s! I've climbed and hiked in these- they are every bit as rugged and versatile as they have always been! I'm a muscular girl ( climb, telemark, bike, hike and run) and you have plenty of room for movement with ample coverage.
The shorts are baggy, but the waist is true. Im 58 130lb, and I ordered a medium, probably would have been fine with a small. There is an adjustable drawstring which I use to tighten up the waist when I have the pockets weighed down with my cell phone and e-collar remote for my dog.

I originally ordered size medium and had to return them because they were much too big in my waist.

I love these shorts! They are a great length and are very comfortable. I am normally between a small and a medium and went with the small based on reviews. I am happy I sized down as the small fit perfect.
I have several pairs of these and live in them all summer. They are the perfect length and have deep enough pockets that are great when biking. They are also super durable- they are literally the perfect short!
These shorts are so great and I have gotten so many compliments on them. They're just stretchy enough to form with your body while also being functional for hiking and other outdoor activities. I have such a hard time pulling them up over my butt, but once they are on they are perfect!
I wish I read the other reviews about this short and I would have probably just went for the mens version of these shorts. I have a curvy body and the shorts have no give and are cut for someone with very straight hips.
Hi Kimberly, we're sorry to hear the fit didn't work out. Please feel free to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) them back to us if you were looking to do so, but haven't already. Thanks so much for your review!

Okay, I wanted to love these shorts. But I am a true size 6, and the Medium was way too small! Its clear that the fit model is a certain shape and they arent taking into account other shapes (not sizes! Curvy doesnt mean bigger) However, I think if you know to size up - youll love these

Not for curvy women
I wanted to love these shorts so badly, but they just did not work on my body. I ordered a medium based on the sizing guide and I could barely squeeze them over my hips. Once on, they were huge in the waist and very tight in the hips/butt. I would not recommend these if you have any curves.

Love the material and the casual look of these shorts. As one reviewer commented about the waistband not stretchy enough for women with curves, this was true for me, but once I was able to squeeze it up my butt, it fit perfectly at the waist. I usually order a size xsmall in most sporty shorts in different brands and went with this size. I decided ... Read MoreI will be keeping them since they look so cute with a fitted crop top. My advice to Patagonia would be to make the elastic on the waistband more stretchy for curvy women!
Like some other reviews mentioned, the shorts were really hard to get on the first time. I really had to tug them on, which is why I said they run kinda small. That being said, once they're up on your waist, they fit perfectly, and true to size. I always wear a small, and the smalls fit me well once they were up on me.
I was looking for shorts for the South Florida weather. They are comfortable and do not stick to my skin as other shorts that I own. I would have preferred it an inch longer but I am very happy with my purchase. Highly recommend them.
High quality, nice feel and fit. A little stiff at first but can tell these shorts are well made and will stand the test of wear and tear- built to last! A rear pocket would be a suggestion for future design.
Thank you Patagonia for offering these shorts in XXL! I bought myself the bright blue and my husband got me the black ones for my birthday. Perfect for water sports and swimming. They dry really fast. The waistband does not account curvy women! You do have shimmy them up over the butt, but once on they feel good. Great shorts! I am excited to start...

I like these shorts for lots of different activities and I can tell by how they feel they will last many, many years (one of my main reasons for buying from Patagonia). Nice big pockets!
These are definitely baggy shorts! Once I wiggle them up over my hips and tie the drawstring, they are great. I love the deep pockets. They might not be super flattering, but they are functional and thats what counts! Im thinking about getting another pair in a fun color. Quality is apparent in these shorts. :)

Mediums are usually snug on me and larges are a little more roomy. This large was a little bigger than most size larges. They comfortable shorts and the drawstring does allow for some adjustment. I am excited to wear them and break them in more!
I have several pairs of these, but the fit is weird. I am a size 4 in most bottoms and the size small barely fit over my hips. The elastic waist is not very stretchy. Patagonia needs to adjust its sizing and widen its range of sizes to accommodate women of all sizes.
Pockets like mens pants have! Pockets that can hold my phone, pocket knife, and keys PLUS the leash to clip my keys onto. These shorts are loose but flattering, comfy, lightweight, and quick-dry. I bought 3 pairs and I live in them now. And then I bought a pair for my toddler. Best shorts ever!
These shorts are a legend for a reason! They are so incredibly comfortable. You can be more rugged in them or make them more street casual. I personally love how quickly the fabric drys! Perfect for beach days, camping, hiking, or traveling.
At first I wasn't sure I had ordered the right size, but after wearing each pair a few times I am so glad I ordered them! They are so comfortable. Perfect for hot weather & getting wet (or not). Love them!
I love these loud, comfy shorts. I wear them everywhere, for everything. I hate when they are in the wash. Will purchase in another color before the summer is over!
I am 21 years old, 5"10, 160 pounds and I had to order a size large. Typically I would be a medium and I wear a 6 or an 8 in leggings from Athleta. However, I could not get the size mediums over my thighs. Pretty wack sizing, especially since the material has little to no give. It makes me worry about the lack of size inclusivity for all body ... Read Moretypes. The large is VERY big in my waist since I am a 27 or 28 but it has a drawstring so I can cinch it tight. I bought these in 2 colors and literally wear them every day. Love the pink with floral print. So comfy and easy and flattering. Deep pockets too!
These shorts are mostly great.
I got the Spanish red color, and I love it.
They are baggy in all the right ways - relaxed without being too bulky, and they have nice deep pockets.
My complaint is the same complaint I have with almost all Patagonia Womens products: they just do not take our curves into consideration.
These shorts have no give in... Read More the waist band.
Once the shorts are on I really like them, enough to give five stars even. But getting them on, especially when my skin is damp from swimming or sweat or the shower is a struggle.
Its like a man with no grasp on womens bodies designs everything. Like the muse for every item is a super skinny marathon runner body type. That is never going to be me, nor do I want it to be.
Even in my best shape, my thighs and butt are big.
I love Patagonia products because of the quality and thoughtfulness in technical design as far as pocket, fabric go etc, and the colors are usually great.
I just wish the designers would consider more shapely women in clothing cut.
Super comfy and versatile shorts. I am 510 and ordered an xs. These are not to long and not too short, perfect length for me! Ordering in another color!
These shorts are cute but the fit is completely wrong. The small is way to big and the XS is tiny. Im a size 2-4 regularly but I cant find a size that fits. Now that all the stores have closed for good in this area I wont be ordering online.
This is my sixth pair of womens baggies. I have worn them every summer for more than 10 years. Each pair (and I expect my new shorts) has worn beautifully. No one, but my family, would know that these shorts have been my summer uniform for many, many years. Exceedingly comfortable, they are great for working out, running, beach ware, hiking, yoga, ... Read Moreand many more activities. It is the one gift I wanted for my birthday. My husband listened and bought me two pairs. Im set for a while!
These run very small for women and girls but true to size for men and boys. I did have to return mine and my daughters and get larger sizes, but both boys fit fine. Love these shorts for the whole fam!
I absolutely love these shorts, they fit great and the higher rise/longer inseam is perfect for me since I'm tall. They're so comfortable and the pockets are great to have. I've worn them for many an outdoor adventure! They do ride up on occasion but nothing too bad!
These shorts are what I will be living in this summer! Im a nurse who also is a farm so comfort and durability is key in my wardrobe. Those shorts are both! They are perfect for all your summer activities and the fit is great! I struggle to find shorts that arent too short and these are that perfect in between length. I need my size to come back I ... Read Morestock so I can order a few more!
These do in fact have odd sizingI went between a small and a medium and ended up keeping the small! Im 110lbs and 54. I hate tight waistbands, but the medium was falling off of me. The small fits well and isnt restrictive!
I wanted to love these shorts SO MUCH. They are everything Ive been searching for, and I was excited when Patagonia started carrying XXL. Its definitely a far cry from size inclusivity, but I usually wear a 1X/2X so I had high hopes for these. Unfortunately they fit like a roomy XL. There was no way I could comfortable wear these and move around, m... Read Moreuch less wear them during outdoor activities.
I really really hope Patagonia gets on board with size inclusivity and broadens their sizes. There is an entire market for plus size people who are looking for quality clothing like Patagonia in sizes they can comfortably wear!

Amazing
I had been debating these shorts for a while due to mix reviews. But Im glad I finally went for it I got two different colors and I wish I would have gotten more. Super comfortable.
Other reviewers commented that the fit on these shorts does not work well if you're curvy.
If you have any sort of butt, these will be hard to pull up. I got a medium, which is what I wear in other Patagonia shorts, and they require a definite squirmy wiggle pull up. Not a quick up or down.
Once they're on, they feel fine. The fabric ... Read Moreis quick dry, and I don't worry about getting wet or dirty. I've worn them hiking, in the garden, camping, and been satisfied. I would size up to a Large, but I'm worried the baggy-nature would mean you would easily see up my shorts. If these had a liner like running shorts, maybe that would be fine. With an elastic waistband and a drawstring, I would think Patagonia could give them more stretch within each size.
These shorts are versatile and comfortable. I take them running and wear them around when its warm. It is nice to have theses shorts on deck- they are long enough to make me feel covered when I am biking and running and I love how I can get them wet -- I live in Ventura and they are perfect for this environment. I am curious how the shorter ones lo... Read Moreok and fit, I bet they are nice too! Pigeon blue is a great color, and goes with everything. Thanks Patagonia, I am sure I will use these lots this summer.
Great shorts. I love the alligator print and strong, lite weight material I would have given them a 5 star rating but as with Patagonia clothing I am in between sizes. The shorts run a little on the big side but if I size down I'm afraid they will be too small. The waste is perfect but the seat is a little big. I'm 5' 3'', ... Read More140 lbs., 27'' inch waste and I ordered a size medium.
True to size but waste band needs a little more give to get over the hip area (Its a little bit of a shimmy and wiggle situation getting them over the hips) once its over it fits perfectly.
I'm normally a medium, but I should've purchased a large. They're tight everywhere, in the thighs and waistband. Once I get them up to my waist they're not the worst, but getting them on is the biggest struggle! Go a size up :)
Thank you for the feedback on this and please feel free to begin an exchange if you'd like to try a larger size: https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html

Great Shorts
As an active, outdoorsy, bigger gal - I can honestly say these are the best hiking shorts I have ever worn. Long enough inseam to prevent chaffing from thighs rubbing but short enough to not look like "mom shorts". Wide leg holes make walking, hiking, sitting, everything comfortable without feeling tight in the slightest. I will be buying... Read More more colors!
I have a pair of Baggies that are, probably, at least 25 years old, size M. They fit perfectly. The new Baggies, size M, fit way too snuggly. The pockets are on the inside, so they take up space (the old style has pleated pockets on the outside of the shorts. The waistband doesn't stretch much either. Because they're so snug, they ride up... Read More and seem shorter than the originals, though they're the same length. I'd love to buy more, but won't because there's such a HUGE discrepancy between sizes M and L that moving up one size doesn't not help at all.
I have three different pairs of the baggies. Wear these shorts for all my summer adventures in the mountains. They're light and comfy, which makes them totally perfect for hot days living in New Mexico. They provide enough 'room' for movement, so are great for running and climbing, or any of your other mountain adventures.
I grew up wearing men's baggies - there weren't any female ones yet - and have always loved them. I got away from them for awhile, and decided to try a women's pair. I love them. I like the inseam length - it's the perfect length to me. They have large pockets that will actually hold keys and a cell phone! So many women's s... Read Morehorts don't. They are so comfortable to wear. I like them slightly loose, and I got the XL so they fit exactly like I want them too. I highly recommend these shorts to active women who value quality, light weight, quick drying, all purpose shorts.
I want to have these in every color. Theyre comfy and flattering. I shouldve probably gone a size lower though. I am 53 and 123 lbs I purchased a medium but they are slightly big. A small wouldve fit better.
Most versatile pair of shorts I own! I actually ordered a S and a M and after trying on both went with the small. Liked the fit of the S better which was a surprise. I am a size 4 but typically like athletic things to be looser, however with the material I felt like the M was gaping and wouldnt work well for climbing or hiking. Wear them most often... Read More either around the house or on the water. 10/10 recommend - the pockets really are the best!
I absolutely love these shorts. They are my go-to pair for a multitude of activities, including, walks, hikes, water adventures (as they are super quick drying), and casual outings.
These shorts are awesome!! Im really happy Patagonia decided to offer XXL. I am a bigger female to begin with and a Mom so these shorts fit my body and busy schedule. From Taekwondo practice to the mountain bike trails to the Chiropractor these shorts are my go to for the summer now and every summer here on out. They wash easily and are very durabl... Read Moree. Patagonia please continue to offer this size and awesome colors / patterns. Some retro or throwback colors / patterns to the 80s / 90s would be SUPER AWESOME !!!! Thank you!!
i purchased these in a medium in saffron- i normally wear a small but accidentally ordered a medium and didnt notice too much of a difference. when i want them a little more snug i just pull the drawstring. these are my third pair of baggies! theyve all been through hell and back and have held their quality!
I ordered a medium and I love these a lot but they dont have too much give around the butt. Im 57, size 4/6, definitely more pear shape and I found the hips/butt are a bit tighter than Id like.
I purchased my first pair of these shorts 10 years ago and still wear them to this day. I live in these shorts during the warmer months and have collected quite the collection.
They fit true to size but definitely compliment a more athletic build (if you have strong legs you will like these).
I've worn these shorts daily doing yard work, goi... Read Moreng to the beach, Disney world, hiking, running and everything else. My first pair I bought still look good as the pair I just got a month back.
These shorts are awkward. I would say Im a fairly normal mom figure. The medium 5 in swallowed me. The small was loose in the waist, snug in the butt, and loose in the legs. Overall, super disappointed. My daughter got the xsmall 3 in. They are fine. She is super thin and 14 years old. I guess they are just a teen kinda short :(
These shorts are so bulky around the waist and abdomen. And the elastic band Is so high it makes me look like Bill Haders impression of Clint Eastwood. These look like mens shorts.
I normally wear a size S in all shorts and a 2 in jeans and I bought the small and the waist was way to big for me they just looked kinda frumpy. I then ordered the XS and they didn't even get over my thighs. These shorts aren't made for a curvier/athletic body type. Wish they did fit right because they're so cute
I love the fit once they're on but they are snug pulling them on over my hips. I have 41" hips and a 29" waist and the stitch used to secure the elastic on the waistband does not accommodate enough stretch to slide over my hips and to fit at my waist. That being said they fit pretty well and I will wear them often!
