I love these a ton, so far they've been insanely durable! I like the mild waterproof quality of the material. The material has very little to no stretch and may run small so keep that in mind. My biggest issue with them is the fit. I bought these when I weighed around just 10lbs more than now, I have a small waist compared to my hips and butt ... Read Moreespecially then and that made the fit a bit weird. The mediums were a major struggle to get on over my hips and fit fine in the waist but were tight on my butt and thighs. Like I mean kinda had some wedgy going on lol. Tried the large which fit my lower part great but were huge in the waist so I settled for the medium and for a while was unsure about keeping them. I weigh a bit less than I did when a bought them (not even that much at all) and they fit great now. For reference I'm 5'7 and 140lbs atm. But having that experience shows they seem to be designed for really skinny, non curvy women. So if you have large hips/thighs and a smaller waist comparatively I'd take this into account when buying!
I want to love these shorts, so much so that I have three pairs...but I just can't seem to make them work for anything other than casual wear. As other reviewers have stated, the fabric is NOT stretchy. I have hips and a backside, and I do have to shimmy/hop to get the waistband over my backside. Once they're on, they're fine for gro... Read Morecery shopping or running errands, but I wouldn't do anything physical in them due to the lack of stretch. They're the right length - not too short, not too long, and every year Patagonia kills it with some adorable patterns that make me think...maybe they'll be different this year...and they never are. They do hold up well to washing (I hang dry, no issues with shrinking or fading), I just wish I found them a bit more comfortable.
I love these shorts and have a lot of them. They wear well, some pairs I have had for years. They do run small. I wear a med size 8 to 10 and have to order large in these.
I have an old pair of baggies in size XS. I purchased the same size, but thinking maybe my old ones have stretched a bit over time. For reference, Im 53 and 116. The XS is the perfect size when they are on, but when I first get out of the water, it take a little more effort to get them over my hips. I dont think I would size up though because they ...

I ordered a pair of pigeon blue size medium baggies for myself last March. Im a college student, and this was a gift to myself for my birthday. Absolutely no regrets.

I frequently wear them on an average weekday, to yoga, or just hanging out at my house. Im hesitant to write a review, because I dont want them to sell out again before I can purchase a second pair.
I have avoided wearing shorts to exercise because they usually end up riding up in the middle constantly. I am thrilled to say that these DONT do that! I wear them slightly below my waist and they stay in place just fine. I love the fabric and the pocket even has a loop you can hook your keys to.
These are my new favorite shorts. Super comfortable for all sorts of activities. I'm about to spend all of my money buing different colors/patterns. Speaking of which.... Patagonia, can we get a maroon pair please!?
We'll be releasing more colors in Spring 2022. Thanks for your feedback!

No give, tough to get over hips
I love baggies but Im really struggling, apparently like many people here, with getting these shorts over my hips. Once on theyre fine, but I need to do a little shimmy at the end. I wish theyd listen to customers and factor feedback into their product design. I have them in small and medium, the medium is easy to pull on but look huge on.
Thanks for the feedback Sey! Our design team does take into consideration reviews and feedback when planning new designs. From concept to sale the process can take up to 36 months. We do plan for the baggies to give a bigger baggie look when worn. We're always happy to provide garment dimensions prior to purchase.

So true to size and comfortable.
These are very nice shorts.
Added benefit: pockets are nice and deep.
These shorts are perfect for running or walking my dog. I love the pockets for carrying my keys and cellphone. The material isnt too lightweight, its just right and washes well. Im very pleased and would recommend them to anyone for great active wear.
They're functional, look cool, and fit great. I sized up to a large for a little more room and love how they fit with the adjustable waist. I have been wearing them nonstop for the last few weeks from the house to the beach to SUPing. Thanks for such a solid product, Patagonia!
I am replacing my 30-year-old Baggies. I wear a size large, but I wanted baggie Baggies, so I got size XL. With the drawstring, they are just the way I want them.
Wore Baggies forv 25 yrs+, then stopped 'cause I thought I'm too old to wear these. Rethought it a month ago, and decided f.i., I'm going back and glad I did!

Just ordered a men's small (which I always wore) and they are perfect! I especially love the bird/animal prints- so fun!
I have another pair of baggies that I purchased in a size small that are perfectly stretchy and truly baggy. The size small I just got is so hard to get above my butt and it tight across the pelvis. I am 5'1 about 130 lbs and the size medium fits like the small used to. Recommend sizing up as they fit differently than past sizes of baggies

Will be buying a size down..
These shorts seem as great IRL as they do online, but they run large. Im a small in all swimwear and all activewear brands, but these are wayyyy too big. Ill be buying both an XS and an XXS to figure out what I need!
Love these shorts very comfortable and durable. I remember buying my first Patagonia clothes back in the mid 80s thought they were great then and they still are. I wonder if a little stretch in the Baggies might be good couldnt hurt.
We're glad to hear you're loving your Baggies. You might like our Nine Trails or Happy Hike Shorts, which have a bit of stretch. Thanks for your review, Carrie!

Great material/weird fit
I am a curved girl - smaller waist in contrast to the hips and bum. These shorts fit pretty well once I get them past my bum and hips but it is WORK to SQUEEEZE the unstretchable waist band past my hips and bum.

Super comfortable
My 5-inch baggies are very comfortable and true to size although there could still be a little bit more room around the hip area to get them up and over. It's just a tiny bit snug in the rear.

Great shorts!!
I have a bunch of these shorts, the fit and quality is always great! This review is for the paintbrush red pair, however.

I only gave 3/5 stars because the paintbrush red isnt red at all. Id say its more of a hunters orange. Theyre really bright, but just not the actual color red, which is a shame since I really wanted red. Hopefully theyll make a true red next season!!
Was looking for a pair of casual quick pull on shorts for just hanging around. These are nice quality but too short for me. An inch or 2 longer and I would love them.

Comfortable and sporty
The shorts fit perfectly and launder beautifully would buy again in many different colors
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.

Can't wear it if you have a butt!
I'm pretty small: 5'3 and 115 pounds, but my thighs and hips are pretty muscular and I have quite a butt.

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! I think its possible they run smaller than usual sizing, but for my body type they work well because I am not curvy anywhere.... Read More
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.

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. I started with L, but they were too big, so I ordered M, but they were too small. I know my body has changed after having children and eating a bit too much cheese. I sure wish I could get them to fit ju... Read Morest right.
I really like how big they are around my thighs. They make my legs look thinner because they have a lot of space around them.

I love the color (the slate blue one) and I will probably get more of them because I feel confident wearing them! They are big in parts and smaller in others. The waist is loose once its around my waist. It is a little snug on the widest part of my hips/butt but in a comfortable way and looks good. I like the quick dry material. 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. The melon is a wonderful neutral. I normally wear a 14-16 and ordered the XL. No WAY! The exchange was easy peasy though and fast. XXL fits great.

I really like Patagonia as brand. The clothes are tough and stand up to the fairly consistent abuse that I dish out. I wanted to love these so badly but the fit is a problem.

It ends up creating this pouch at top and oddly tight around the hips. The narrow hips are something I've run into with almost every Patagonia bottom I've tried on.
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 think they were trying to make a more feminine cut but it just doesn... Read More't fit right and ends up feeling like it pulls in certain places. I kept them because they are good enough. I often find that women's versions of great mens pieces just don't hit the mark for us women.
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.

Im so excited they started carrying xxl. Bought two different colors. Also bought some other shorts in xxl that were true to size. The shirts are not tho. But will be buying a ton of bottoms now that I know they fit!
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 ... Read Moreshorts, the material is also much more like a board short than I expected and didn't seem like it would be too comfortable for longer summer alpine approaches which is what I was hoping.

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. The Xxs was too small, couldnt pull it over my hips - returned and bought a new XS baggies in Saffron from REI since they were sold out in my seize at the time and color at Pantagonia. The Saffron fits great in XS and is softer feeling than the drago... Read Morenfly colored baggies. 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. 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.

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.
