Super flattering, I ordered up a size since I never have ordered pants from Patagonia before and Im glad I did. In womans clothing typically wear a L bottom but in some juniors stores (like AE) I wear an XL. Would say if you are used to ordering juniors clothing go for your juniors size- but if you are used to wearing adult sizes (loft/ Ann Taylor)... Read More size up. But over all I love the fit!
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. I bought these because I like the print and know they will last. I wear them all summer - SUPing, hiking, hanging out in the Adirond... Read Moreacks. Quick dry and pretty much indestructible. I can't recommend them highly enough. You'll keep them for 20 years or more.
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

Overall, I highly recommend- I want them in every color and am currently refraining from purchasing another pair.
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. You could see every stripe on the underwear I had on underneath. I tried a lighter color of underwear, but still could see everything. I would not be comfortable wearing these cas... Read Moreually knowing theyre nearly see through and dont have a built in brief. I was very disappointed especially reading reviews that the older versions of baggies were made of beefier fabric. Ill sadly be returning or exchanging for a darker color.
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 have these in the 5 inch and 2.5 inch and I love these shorts. I keep coming back for more. I am typically a 4/6 in pants depending on the style and I have both a small and medium in the baggies, but I like the medium for a looser fit. I highly recommend these!
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. I never know whether to purchase XS or S because they are pretty inconsistent. Sometimes I swim in a small other times I suffocate in an XS. Back to the ...

Weird Fit
I wanted to love these when I received them. The fabric feels very durable and they are well made, not to mention more environmentally and socially responsible than most other companies options. However, the sizing is very weird if you have a thicker bum/thighs like I do. I wear a Large in pretty much every other pair of leggings and shorts I own, ... Read Morebut the large in these shorts was extremely tight around my butt, and almost too tight in the waistband. I exchanged for an XL, which are way too big and loose. Unfortunately I have to send both back.
These are my favorite shorts I have ever worn. I have two pairs and they are amazing! The fabric is great for the lake or the beach as it dries so quickly. I would also describe my body as more pear shaped and they are really flattering for my body. Love love love!
Bought XS in dragonfly and exchanged for xxs because for too much bulk in material above my bottom.

These are great shirts , only which they had a liner like the guys baggies and that they would come in red! - yes, I would recommend the baggies Just didnt like the bag and forward stuff in ordering.
Overall I like these shorts but they are NOT true to size. I am a true xl and I could get the xl on but they were so tight and uncomfortable that I didnt want to wear them for long. I recommend sizing up. Hoping to try the xxl soon. Annoyed that my true size doesnt fit.
Its winter in Maine so I havent had an opportunity to wear them yet, but Ive tried them on and love the fit. The length is great- not too short, and I can tell the material will be really quick drying this summer. I love the print and Im excited to wear them when the weather permits.

These shirts are amazing. Even though they are elastic band and drawstring they can pass for a really relaxed casual look with a nice T. Definitely purchasing other colors. Please make more prints.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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 have loved baggies for so long for many reasons : the fabric, the comfort, and the casual design. However, I have always been in between sizes.

Cant say enough how much I love these. The fit was just right they can be worn high waisted or right at the waist depending on what your feeling, the elastic is great. I wear them constantly.

I was SO excited to buy my first pair of baggies, only to find them run small and arent really designed for a woman with any kind of hips. I wish they were a little more shapely so I could wear them all the time.

Best shorts ever, very comfortable and true to size! The material is durable for all my outdoor activities, easy to pack, and the selection of colors and patterns are so fun! I continue to purchase these because of how much use I get out of them.
Hands down my favorite shorts! Nice material and very comfortable. Can be worn for a hike or workout but also can be worn as a dressy-casual look too!

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. :)

Classic
These shorts are a must in any PNW wardrobe. They go everywhere and last for years.
It was time for new Baggies, and being pretty tall gal I often struggle with Patagonia fits, I'm right between a M and L.

Was super skeptical about buying these because of the price but theyre awesome! I used these for work and my legs are a little bit bigger.

Love these shorts! I bought these and a second print pair. The fit and length are perfect, and they are comfortable and super-cute. They are my new favorite shorts!
I wanted to love these but the fit is a little funny.

This is my first negative experience with Patagonia, been a happy customer for years. The overall product is great but when you spend money for a high quality product you don't expect it to bleed onto other clothing when washed. The color (Catalan Coral ) has turned two separate loads of laundry pink. The 3 other colors have had no problem but... Read More beware of the coral unless you like your towels and t -shirts pink! Recommend product, just not color.
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.

These shorts are mostly great.
I got the Spanish red color, and I love it.

My complaint is the same complaint I have with almost all Patagonia Womens products: they just do not take our curves into consideration.

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.

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!

I wanted to love these shorts SO MUCH. They are everything Ive been searching for, and I was excited when Patagonia started carrying XXL.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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).

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!
Love everything about how these feel and perform, but you wont win any style point for them. They are slightly puffed making you seem larger and more shapeless than you actually are, but they are great in and out of the water and super comfortable.
I love these shorts and this is my fourth pair of baggies. I have always purchased XXS and keep wearing my XXS, but I could barely get the XXS on. They don't have much give so I sized up to the XS.

First things first, sizing. A lot of the reviews actually steered me in the wrong direction.

I made the mistake of getting a large first based on reviews, and the large is wayyyy bigger than the mediu... Read Morem. I fit perfectly in the mediums. My measurements are 28.5 waist and 43 hips. I usually have to wiggle my bum into things so its fine and I dont mind that part. But they are so flattering on in this size on me. I normally wear a size 6/8 for reference. I have these in a few colors, the saffron color is so cute; a little see through in the front but nothing major and im also very tan so maybe thats why. Either way, you cant go wrong with these. Great for hiking, walking, swimming, hanging out, anything you want! Deep pockets, quick dry material, cute colors and prints!! I will keep buying and wearing them and I tell all my friends about them!!
I am 5.3/115 pounds and the small is way too big. Considering ordering XXS instead. Pigeon blue colour is perfect and material is great. The small fits my boyfriend whos 5.9/155 pounds, but its way too short for him otherwise he would have taken it. I found a lot of reviews saying it was running a bit small so I went with my regular size, small. Iv... Read Moree never seen a size small running that big, cant wait to have the XXS.

Big Fan!
I have muscular legs and a booty so it's often hard for me to find baggy shorts/pants that fit right on my body type. I'm 5'3, size 27 waist so I purchased a small. Overall, I'm very pleased with these shorts. My only con is the waist band and pockets could be slightly more stretchy -- it fits my waist but has a hard time going ... Read Moreover the booty. When I stick my hands in my pockets the shorts are noticeably tighter on my butt. (I also don't think sizing up would solve this problem bc the shorts fit otherwise.) That's probably more than you wanted to know but overall I'm very satisfied! I will definitely be purchasing again in a different color.
I love the material of these shorts and I am a relatively small person but the waist band is so tight i cant get it on and off easily. The elastic is only made to cinch tighter not stretch. disappointing.

I got the MLBG's and they're really awesome! The green is a little lighter than I anticipated but they are still super cool. I'm 5'8 and about 165, and they are rather loose. They do have a drawstring which is a plus, and theyre long too. Would reccomend, but I might have gotten a medium instead.
I love these shorts! I am 5'4, 155lbs with athletic/muscular build (I do olympic weightlifting and have a booty/big thighs) and ordered a size medium. The waist band is stretchy to a point, and is definitely a little tight getting over my butt and then a little loose in the waist. The snugness on the way up doesn't bother me because when ...

I am 5'7 157lbs and bought a large. Usually an 8/10 in pants, usually I need the larger in the seat area..

First off, I really like baggies. I have a number of pairs of Barely baggies, which I'm a size L in no doubt, but was looking to have a higher waist and a bit longer fit. I ordered the size L in the regular Baggies, but the size was really weird on me, really large waist and just looked strange. For reference, I'm between 5'6" a... Read Morend 5'7" and weigh 155-160, with bigger butt/thighs. My sister wears the medium, which actually fit me really well, as I was happy to find out, BUT they're quite difficult to pull on. Really takes a lot of shimmying due to my larger butt, but once they're on feel fine. Not sure why the sizing on these is kinda strange, but would really appreciate it if they accommodated bigger butts better. They do have a drawstring waist, so seems strange that the waist is so small still.
I am 5 ft 6 and 140 lb. Perfect length. Only thing is I have wider hips so they flatten a little on butt area - but I expect that with most clothes. I got a M and the waist and legs are great the rear is a little tighter than I like.
I have a 30 waist, 40 hips, and I first purchased these in a size Medium using the guidance on the size guide. I found the Medium tight to get around my hips, but once on the fit was okay.
I sized up to a Large on a later purchase and will continue to do so with all my baggies purchases. They fit much better than the medium and theres no trouble ... Read Moregetting them over my wider hips. Sizing aside, I love these shorts and have them in several colors, as well as the Barely Baggies style. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a everyday/hiking/exercise shorts!
The designers must have been asleep or drunk when they came up with these sizes. I usually wear a Large in all Patagonia bottoms but the Large for these shorts is insanely small. There is no elasticity to the elastic and they fit tight. I returned them and got an XL instead thinking it would be just a little bit bigger. They were INSANELY bigger th... Read Morean the Large. I was swimming in them. There is a canyon of difference between the Large and XL, and neither of those sizes is a winner. If you're anything above a medium, DO NOT buy these shorts. Look elsewhere.
When buying these shorts I was worried they wouldn't fit my butt because of other reviews since I have a sizeable rear. I took a chance just thinking I would return them if they didn't fit. I just received them with little hope but when I put them on I was ASTONISHED!! These shorts fit PERFECTLY! I have large thighs but these shorts leave... Read More ample room for full range of motion. I definitely suggest getting a pair, and I will be buying more in different colors!
I love these shorts and quite enjoy them especially for casual wear and hiking. However I will say that they are a little tight around the bum, so I would maybe order a size up if you are bigger in that area. Also, these do have a high waist band so they are slightly high waisted depending on your height (Im 57). All in all these are a great pair o... Read Moref shorts.
TL;DR - I love these shorts. I've worn them almost every day since I've had them. Granted, I'm just lounging, but I'm planning on going on a canoe trip in later July and these will be PERFECT. I would also wear them hiking, maybe running. They are comfy, I got the bright blue color which I love.
However, as many review mention,... Read More the fit is definitely weird. I'm probably somewhere around 165 lbs, large thighs and a large booty and the Large fits those, but the waistband is SO loose. Like I probably have three inches of extra space. The tie helps, these things aren't gonna be falling off me, but I just wish Patagonia had a "curvy" fit or something for those of us with medium waists and large bootys. Anyway. You should still buy them. I'll probably get another pair.
I'm a size 8 with a small waist and a slightly (not super) curvy booty, and I had the hardest time getting these shorts on. Once I did, they fit great in the waist, were tight in the butt, and had lots of room in the legs. I'm sad because these shorts seem amazing, but there's no stretch and are not well-suited for even slightly curv... Read Morey girls. I've noticed this with other Patagonia pants and it's a bummer.

Fit is off
As with other reviews, the fit is a little off. The butt is tight relative to the front. I ordered both a med and large to see which fit best. The med fits great around the waist in the front, but is tight in the butt (I don't have a proportionally large butt). The large fits great in the butt but WAY too big in the front. I'm keeping the... Read More medium.
These were my first pair of baggies and I was extremely excited to get them! Everything was perfect, but unfortunately the material is see through.

These shorts look great on - but that is IF you can actually get them on!

Overall a great looking short just wished they considered that peoples thighs and butts arent the same size as their waist when designing these.
If youre slightly curvy Id suggest get both your true size and one size up to see what works best.
If you have any amount of butt or hips, size up. I usually wear size small, but I could barely fit the waist band over my hips -__- the material does not stretch and offers no give, so theres no room for thighs when bending over. Planning to exchange for a size up
Why do the men's baggies have a back pocket with a snap and women only get two, shallow side pockets?

I absolutely love these shorts. They are incredibly comfortable and only get better with time. I wear these hiking and they are perfect when I choose to stop and swim in a stream or waterfall. Just today I went for a swim and less than an hour later they were dry. The only reason I give these 4 stars rather than 5 is because the waist band is kind ... Read Moreof tight. If you have a butt at all you may have an issue pulling them up, but once they are on they fit perfectly.
These are super cute! These are not a good fit for me- but maybe for you? If you're smaller size, its probably a great short for you. But- the larger sizes run small. I would not say the XL is 16/18. Its more like a 12/14.
Love the pockets, they're cute on- looks like the larger model photos. But very uncomfortable. If I want to wear tig... Read Moreht, restricting shorts, I'll wear everything else on the market.
I'm right at the cusp between a 14 and 16 in jeans. Solidly a 16 per the size chart. Straight boy hops, with a butt and party thighs. They are not even feasibly relaxed fit, much less baggy.
So very sad to be returning these. Was hoping I had found a great short for my adventures.
I went back and forth about sizing on these after reading reviews about the baggies redesign. I had never tried baggies, I always wore barely baggies, so I couldnt compare the older style. As I get older my body tolerates short shorts less (not a great look!) so I decided to try these instead. I am 58, a size 8 or 10, with a 31-32 waist and 44 hips... Read More and I got a large. There is some minimal tightness when I pull the shorts up but once on they fit great: comfortable at the waist (there is a drawstring, someone elses review said there wasnt), loose in the thighs and hips per the described style of baggies. They are going to be great for all summer. I am definitely ordering another pair!
Not a negative about the Baggies themselves, they're great shorts! The size recommendations are just off imo. I am 5'8" 130, and was swimming in the small, even with a bigger butt to fill them out. Easy exchange process, but I wish I had just ordered both sizes to begin with. Def try on in store before ordering.
Hi Erin, thank you for taking the time to write us a review! We're really sorry to hear about the disappointment with the shorts, but we really appreciate the feedback.

Plus size baggies, hooray!
I lived in my baggies when I was a thin young river guide :) Fast forward 15 years, 2 kids later, and I usually buy clothes in XL.

I love the fabric so much but the fit is definitely not for a curvy girl. I wish I had read the reviews and sized up.

Size up
I am 5'7, 135 lbs and a pretty true size 4 or 27 in bottoms. I do have larger hips and bottom, but I usually have no problems fitting into those sizes. I ordered a small in these shorts based on the size chart, but they are incredibly restricting in the hips and seat, but fine in the thighs. I'm returning these for a medium, but I'm ... Read Moreconcerned those will then be too baggy in the thigh. I guess we'll see!
The color I got was beautiful, but just a warning, the lighter colors can be see through.
Amazing shorts and I love the fabirc, I just wish the fit was a bit better.
I usually am a small. Size 4 or 27 pants. I originally bought a small and ended up exchanging for an XS. The small was just a little too baggie looking especially from the side. XS fits much better! Love these shorts!
Usually I try not to buy shorts online as I am larger in my hips and thighs and much smaller in my waist, but these fit just right.

I ordered a pair because they look like they could become my new favorite shorts. Im a size 8-10, played college volleyball so I have bigger thighs/glutes. Definitely experienced the struggle of getting these shorts over my butt. Strangely, once they were on, the fit wasnt horrible? I was able to fully squat without feeling like circulation was bei... Read Moreng cut off, or I was in danger of ripping the pants. For as hard as they were to get up, there wasnt the pocket stretching that happens when shorts are too tight on curves.
My butt still felt like it was being squished & I did some heavy breathing at thought of trying to get them on a second time, but they were the most comfortable, well-cut pair of shorts that Ive ever tried on in a size too small. As of 5/18, they come with a drawstring as well. I put in my return request & ordered them in a size up (the color I wanted was already out by the time I went back, sad).
These shorts are cut very weird. Its as if Patagonia is unaware that women have hips. Im not curvy. I have more of an athletic build and still these shorts are big in the waist and not roomy in the hip area but then flairs out especially on the inner parts. Its not cut to suit women. I read other reviews about how people felt the rise was short and... Read More thought that maybe overweight people were complaining. Nope. Im slim and these do not work. Its a dorky look because the legs wind up being slanted (higher on the outside legs and lower on the inside). Too much room in the belly area. Makes you look like youre wearing a diaper.

I Wish You'd Bring Back the Old Baggies!
I've ordered several pairs of baggies in the past couple of years, hoping to find a pair that fits like my very first pair that I've had for probably 30 years or more. Your new sizing is so disappointing. I'm 70 years old, still athletically fit, still wearing the same sizes I wore in my 30s and 40s. The large size is gigantic. I wea... Read Morer them while running because they have large pockets that accommodate my cell phone. I have to cinch the drawstring waist as far as it possibly goes so that the shorts don't sag uncomfortably. I don't wear them for anything other than running because they look ridiculous on me. The medium sized shorts are almost as bad, but in a very different way. They're too snug, too form-fitting, and seem shorter than 5". My iPhone makes them fit even tighter when it's in my pocket. There is a HUGE disparity between the medium and large sizes. I wish you'd make an in-between size - or better yet, make your medium size a true medium again.
My old Baggies have pockets that are sort of a patch design, with a pleated bottom, so that when anything is placed in the pocket it doesn't take up room in the shorts themselves. I suspect that's the major difference in why my old shorts are more comfortable, accommodate my phone better, and appear longer, even though both the old and the new have a 5" inseam. It's possible too, that the side seams are slightly more generous in the older version.
Whatever makes the difference, if you'd go back to the old design, I'd buy several more pairs. As it is, I'm not purchasing any more.
Wanted to love these but like many other reviews, the cut was made for someone with no curves. Im 59.5, 135 and the medium waste band is hard to get on and too snug on the waist but the legs are loose. Also WISH these had a liner like the mens baggies have one. Hoping for a redesign soon, wanted to love these but just couldnt.
Im so sad these dont work for me. Ive tried two sizes. I got them in Medium and they could barely get over my butt and remained tight around the waist, yet were baggy around my slim thighs. I bought a second pair in large thinking it was a size issue. They went over my butt better but were still tight around the waist and now huge on the thighs. I ...

The fit for these shorts are WAY off. Based on the patagonia bottoms size chart, I'm a M (a true 8-10 pant). I could literally not get the shorts above my thighs. The waistband barely stretches.

These shorts fit like a size small once you get them on. However, the designers forgot to consider that one has to put them on to get them on.

I normally wear a size sma... Read Morell, I'm 5'9 and 145 lbs, and rarely have to size up but I suggest you do if you want to get them on. The saffron orange is also completely see-through.

That's my typical size so I ordered the large and when they arrived I literally couldn't even pull them over my thighs. The elastic waist doesn't have much give. I literally looked at the size, thinking I'd been sent the ... Read Morewrong ones, because they were SO small. I ordered another pair of shorts in the same order in a Large, and those ones did fit!!

Love these shorts
These shorts are great and so cute! Love the peachy color I got. And the pockets too! You can't go wrong with these!
These shorts are versatile, breezy, and have giant pockets. Theyre the perfect length with a perfect rise, right up to the belly button. The only con is that theyre a little tight on the butt, and they slightly flatten and restrict the butt. Im a solid medium, with an average sized butt, and I feel the shorts press down on my butt. They dont ride u... Read Morep on the inner thigh which is great. I ordered the sulfur color, and I was afraid theyd be too see through. They are a little bit see through, but the color is so beautiful and vibrant, that Im totally okay with the slight transparency.

Just for reference I am very active. I am almost always a size small in everything. I am 140 lbs and 5'5" with a 27" waist and 39" hip measurment. These shorts are very difficult to get over my butt, yet the waist is loose. It's like meant for women with no shape. They end up riding up and giving me a wedgie because they ar...

Please don't hesitate to return these shorts if you were looking to do so and haven't already.

the best shorts ever!
I love these so much. They are true to size, have big pockets, and dry quickly. I work outside all summer and these are practicably all I wear.
Love these shorts, but wish they were drawstring. I got the light beryl green and theyre a really nice color. I am a large 4 / small 6, 5 ft 10, and about 135 lbs and the S fits pretty well.
