Just buy a pair of these. I replaced a bunch of old, non-Patagonia shorts with these and 5" baggies and I couldn't be happier. My legs are free at last! Most importantly, my wife thinks they show off my legs so your wife / girlfriend / partner will probably like them too.
Hi DJ, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us and we're sorry that these ended up being too thin. Please feel free to [return them](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) for a refund.

Best Shorts Ever
Really dig these shorts. They fit true to size, and the length is perfect for hot summer days. The hemp fabric is comfortable and light. Dont want to take them off. What else I can say-solid purchase.
Perfect shorts out of the box. Loved them. Perfect fit until you wash them. Easily shinks from 33 to 32 or even 31 after 2 washings. Buy up 1-2 sizes. Cant wear the 2 pairs I bought.
We are so sorry to hear this. Please feel free to reach out to us and we are happy to see what we can do to [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) with this. As long as the washing instructions were followed, they should not have shrunk significantly so we are happy to get you taken care of.

Like Formal Baggies
I was looking for another pair of baggies but I needed something that had a bit more substance to them, something that I could wear out in public and feel good about it. Then I came across the all-wear shorts. The 6" inseam is fashionable and the color is unique (Spanish red) so they aren't boring. They're more versatile than baggies... Read More because I can still wear these when I'm doing anything outdoors without overheating, but I can don them in a more formal setting and won't feel scrubby. I'd even sport these to a wedding if the temperature was right. I bought them at the beginning of the Arizona summer and haven't worn much else since, if these aren't on my body, they're in the wash or I'm sleeping.
I typically like my shorts a little shorter, and these are perfect. In my efforts to find the perfect pair of shorts, these may be it! I feel like shorts are either too long, dont fit true to size, too thick, weird pockets, etc... but these are none of those bad things. So lightweight and breathable. Fit perfect. And so comfy. Perfect for casual we... Read Morear, but I use them for work (gardening), climbing, hiking, having a great timing.
Great lightweight shorts! The hemp blend makes them strong but very breathable. Yeah the fabric is a little wrinkly, but it's summertime casual wear.
My one caveat is they could use just a smidge more room in the seat, thighs and legs. Dudes who aren't skipping leg day might not find these as roomy and comfy as the Stand Up shorts.
Great shorts. I got the Spanish red color, 6 inch inseam. Hits above the knee without being too short. Fabric is nice, could be dressed up a little more or just worn casually.
These shorts are so buttery soft and comfortable. They are my new favorite shorts!
The material is so very soft and the pockets are the perfect depth for keeping your phone and keys from falling out. I've worn these shorts all day while working from home and taken them out on a long hike afterward with no riding up or twisting. They seem to h... Read Moreandle moisture well too, no waist band full of sweat, even when I hike carrying my daughter in a pack on my chest.
I highly recommend these for anyone that wants some shorts that can do it all.
The only drawback I can think of is that they come out of the wash very wrinkly and I need to iron them before wearing them every time. But other than that, I give them 10/10.
These are light ! Love them - for hot summer wear (I like the Stand-up shorts better for less than 80 degree weather - but I like the hemp pants and I like lots of pockets so take that with a grain of salt).
I've been wearing the stand up shorts for 30 years and for what ever reason the size and me don't jive. I tried the light weight bingo size and me work . Size 34 perfect fit and they feel and look good.

These are some of the very most comfortable shorts ever! They are lightweight, breathable and just the right length. Nice, useable pockets. So good I ended up buying three pair, and might buy more. They dry fast, too.
I didn't read the product description entirely before I purchased it. I enjoy the product, and I share you firm's decision to endorse the use of hemp fiber. I was disappointed to learn that they are a majority cotton fabric.
Thanks for your thoughtful feedback on the fabric of these shorts, Peter! We're sorry to hear you're disappointed. We'll be happy to help you return them under our Ironclad Guarantee, so please don't hesitate to [reach out](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) to us for assistance.
As a raw denim connoisseur, I have a complicated relationship with short pants. Dont get me wrong! I love a good short pant on a hot, fetid Midwest summers afternoon, but my slubby 14 oz mistress gets awfully jealous. After all, wearing short pants feels like cheating when the inseam is too long or the fabric too thick. Not so with these exquisite ... Read Moreshort pants! The fabric is light and surprisingly strong, along with the quality craftsmanship we expect from Patagonia products. Yes, these shorts pants are a keeper, just dont tell that to my 14 oz kurabo, she might blow a seam!
Im not the tallest guy in the world. These shorts fit perfectly. Im buying them in different colors as finding comfortable shorts in my size is usually difficult!
Great lightweight shorts. I wear them around the house, hiking, fishing, pretty much everywhere. Lightweight but feel durable. I bought them in two other colors as well.
In fact, too light weight for me. I'm keeping them for casual wear, but they will get very occasional use. Well made, but I prefer standup shorts for everyday wear.
Some of the only 6" inseam shorts I can find in the outdoor sphere. I would buy any and all other 5" or 6" inseam casual shorts you all make!
As another reviewer mentioned, the sizing on these shorts is inconsistent. I have size 33" All-Wear Hemp Shorts from two seasons ago that are my favorite pair of shorts and fit perfectly (as well as multiple pairs of Patagonia pants in a 33" waist that also fit great), but the red shorts from this season were tight in the waist and restri...

We are sorry to hear that these were too restrictive and thanks for taking the time to let us know. Please feel free to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) these shorts back to us for a return and we'd be happy to help with getting you a different size.

Quad Bangers Fo Sho
Who likes short shorts? I like short shorts! Man, the look of horror on my daughters face when she saw these on my told me all I need to know. Finally my dreams of being as cool as Magnum PI have come true. Seriously though these shorts are great, they run a little snug in the waist so possibly size up 1 waist size if you are on the top edge of a s... Read Moreize.
I like how these shorts feel, the 6" inseam is the perfect length for every activity. The fabric is soft, just the right thickness and the colors are classic. I'm glad I ordered 3 different colors of these - since now these are my go to shorts; The Perfect Summer Shorts!
Shorts seem a bit tight and are quite short. My family teases me I need some sideburns and hair over my ears to complete the 70s look. In spite of that, I do like them just wish they had a bit more room.
I bought these because Patagonia seems to have discontinued the 5 inseam Standup Shorts, something I am not happy about to say the least. These are very nice casual shorts but they cant compare to Standup for outdoor activities. Lighter and not as tough. Oh well.
Well made. Fabric is comfortable and lasts. These are actually shorts - 6 inseam is the key style item. Pocket securely hold iPhone 10xMax. Wear them every day.
I wanted standup shorts but they stopped making the 5 inch ones. Boooo. Thats the only pair of shorts I ever needed but they are no longer. These are not an adequate substitute.
The waist fit perfect on a size 30. it was a little tight around the groin area, so I had to go one size up from my normal waist to fit the groin and rear better, even though it is about an inch too big on my waist now. It worked out well and I love the shorts.
I love these shorts, but the waist seems to be inconsistent between colors. I have the khaki pair in a 34 and they stretch out waaaay too much and the waist fits loose. Meanwhile, I have the blue pair and they're absolutely perfect. The gray pair I also have and that's somewhere in the middle.
Some of the only 6" inseam shorts I can find in the outdoor sphere. I would buy any and all other 5" or 6" inseam casual shorts you all make!
I've worn different variations Patagonia shorts for the majority of my life. This is the first time I have ordered a pair and the logo is on the front leg. I am not a big fan. I am going to order the 8' and have them hemmed to remove the logo. I get why you would want the logo more prominently displayed. Just dont like it. My $.02. Other ... Read Morethan that, great shorts. Keep up the good work.
I bought a pair randomly while browsing through the site one day. I liked them so much I ended up coming back and buying 2 more in different colors. The fit is great and I really like the length. They do get wrinkly pretty easy out the dryer but still look pretty good.
The fit on these are odd. Big legs, small waist. Pockets shallow, and material stretches and shrinks. Color also fades. Was hoping for an everyday pair of shorts, not the best.
We are sorry to hear that these aren't fitting right and we appreciate your feedback on that. If you'd like to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) these back to us, please feel free to do so. Thanks!

Perfect minimal shorts
I’ve owned and bought a lot of different shorts from a lot of manufacturers. I usually prefer drawstring waisted shorts but I don’t look like a bum in these. I wear short shorts because I’m always hot and I usually wear cotton because it helps me keep cool. These are minimal and don’t have Velcro and buttons that could wear out over time like other... Read More shorts have. These are a great casual wear short and gone with the Patagonia guarantees that I come back for. The only improvement I would make is for these to come in more colors. I am 6’2” 200lbs; I can wear 34” but I usually buy 36” if the material is cotton to allow some shrink.
Great shorts to always have in the bag on work trips!! My jobs brings me to NYC, key west or the Middle East nearly every month. These shorts are quick and easy to clean and provide a great option to look good!

Comfy and practical
Always great products and equitably made from pure materials
Love these babies! They are a bit on the short side. If skies out, thighs out is not your thing you may want to consider another pair. The fabric is soft, breathable & durable. I’ll get a lot of milage out of this pair.
The best shorts I’ve owned in years. Cut is perfect for my tall slender build and the material is extremely resilient. I bought 3 pair and I’ll wear them every day the weather allows
I loved everything in the order. For the most part everything was as expected or better. The shorts though were a size to small. I have purchased shorts from you before and the fit of these are smaller than the ones i already have. It seems that for this model i would need a larger size than what i bought before. Its a bit of a bummer because i rea... Read Morelly like the shorts!!! :) i will be returning them, and buying ones a size larger!
Hears the deal. The hemp shorts are perfect the size is correct meaning a size 34 is size 34 and the reason I actually bought them is the stand up shorts which I have been buying for at least 25 years the size is not the size a 34 is a 33. I would have to buy a 35 . The leg width then

I received my new shorts and could not wait to get them on and going. I cant fault them one bit on this design and comfort. They wear so well all day and are keen for anything you throw at them. They wash well and air dry just fine. A truly exceptional product that will service just about anything you throw at them.
These shorts are the perfect length and super light. Makes for great shorts during hot summer days outside in your yard, chillin at the beach, or chillin in the mountains somewhere. The length is exactly what I was looking for and the waist sizing is perfect and true to size. Might have to get another pair. Love these shorts.
These shorts are incredibly soft and comfortable. My only complaint: They are so thin that if anything drips on them (just a drop of water), it looks like you peed yourself.
These are the best shorts I have ever owned. They are lightweight, which makes them super cool in the hot southeastern US where I live, and they don't sacrifice style. Thanks Patagonia!
Fit, feel, material, color all perfect. Only problem is that I’m wearing them everyday and wife insisting on washing them. I think I need another pair.
Very nice product. I love Patagonia 5" baggy shorts but wanted something without the liner and a little more casual and these do the trick. I was lukewarm on the hemp material at first. It starts out as a flat/ironed look but after some wear and washing it has broken in nicely to a cool texture and patina. These shorts with the friction belt a... Read Morend a tank top are my go-to summer wardrobe.
Bought these for the BF and he loves them. They are comfy, breathable, and cute. I like the shorter inseam too. I love organic cotton, so soft, and the hemp just makes them even more durable.
I bought them in red and that combined with their light and cool feeling make them a very good weekend short. I've hiked in them once so far and they held up well even on a long hike.
The blend of material is just right. These things are incredibly lightweight and breathable without being too flimsy. I wore these for a full day on a trip to California that involved a long car ride and several miles of hiking. These were incredibly comfortable all day and kept me from sweating. I'd say the length is just right so you can use... Read More them for just about anything. I wouldn't mind another half inch of length but that's juts my preference.
They do run a little large,but just slightly. I'm usually a 33 and had to size up to a 34 to make them completely comfortable. I haven't put them through the drier yet so I'm not sure if they'd shrink to the proper size (they air dry quickly by the way). Pockets are generously sized.
My only complaint is the logo placement. These shorts are nice enough to dress up if needed,and the logo on the leg kind of ruins that. Put it near a rear pocket where it belongs.
We just descended from the clouds between Roncevalles and Zubiri on the Camino de Santiago. Yesterday, between Saint Jean Pied de Port the Patagonia products were just what I needed. Great Gear, thank you.
These shorts are the best. Being 5'8",I have a hard time finding shorts that fit and I like. These shorts exceeded my expectations. I would recommend these shorts to anybody,just regret it took me this long to find them!
Fine fabric and construction. Very comfortable and dressier than my standard 5" Stand Up Shorts. Originally bought my usual Size 36 but the waist on these in 36 is 38"??? Returned with no hassle for Size 34 which gave me the 36" I need. Best to check on actual measurement before ordering.
Tried on these shorts in the "Mojave Khaki" color,size 30 and they fit perfect,but weren't quite the color I wanted. So I then ordered the same shorts in the the "Forge Grey" color,size 30 and they were way too small - fit more like a 28 waist,not 30. Will return the shorts,will not re-order. This sizing inconsistency is no... Read Moret something I would expect from a company of Patagonia's caliber - will probably have to order/buy other brands' shorts that I know has very consistent sizing and fit. Bummed I will likely no longer be a Patagonia customer because I cannot rely on their products to fit as expected.
I am in complete agreement with the review written by "Ltsccer" entitled "Loved the 8",not sure about new model."
I bought two pairs of the 8" version last year and absolutely love the fit,fabric,overall quality,and design. I was looking forward to adding a couple of different colors to my collection this season and w... Read Moreas surprised to find only a 6" version (which is too short for my taste).
Please bring back the 8" version of this short. Same chino design,same cut,and put the logo back on the back pocket.
I bought the 8" version of these last year and absolutely loved them. For those,like me whose get hot easily,they are great; the lightweight fabric is better than anything else I could find while still looking good when you want to dress up a little more than wearing athletic or even hiking shorts.
I came to buy a new pair this year,but was ... Read Moreturned away by the pictures and size. The 8" were the perfect length,stopping noticeably above the knee but not too short; given that,the 6" would be too short. Additionally,as I said,last year's shorts were great for dressing up a little more; however,on this year's model the logo prominently on the front. I had originally bought these for somewhat nicer occasions,but I think putting the logo on the front versus the top back where it was before makes these less appealing.
I loved the material of these shorts and would 100% buy again if they brought back the design from last year.
I bought this pair in two sizes (28,30) a month ago and absolutely love them. The fit is amazing -- neither too baggy nor hipster-tight. I wear the slightly looser fitting pair (30) when climbing and other high-mobility activities and the snug fit (28) for every-day. The color is awesome.
