These are awesome shorts that are well made and comfortable. Kind of pricy, but well worth the money. I bought one at the Ventura store and then ended up ordering another pair as they were great. grey color
I had to return due to size inconsistency w another style, but glad I reordered. These wear will over many days and now that I have the right size, they are very comfortable. I plan to order at least one more color so that my family doesnt give a hard time for wearing them everyday :)
My husband likes the shorts; the dark gray is a nice color and the fabric is lightweight for summer. He says they run a bit smaller than the same size in other brands he owns.

These shorts run a bit loose in the waist, but with a belt I'm all set. The fit lands just above my knee. The hemp/cotton fabric is ridiculously light and comfortable. I already own two pairs. Highly recommended.
Nice pair of shorts. I bought 2 and am considering getting another. The shorts are lightweight and fit well. The pockets are nice and hold your stuff when you sit down, not like those short pockets where everything slides out the second you take a seat. I'm 5'10 and the 8"ones stop just above my knee. The 10" ones go right below... Read More my knee. I prefer the length of the 8". I'd definitely recommend.
Purchased these shirts for travel and around the house. They have a lightweight but still sturdy feel without the stiffness. Im 63 and its hard to find shorts with a good length and these hit the sweet spot. The dark gray color goes with most shirts. Plan to wear for summer traveling, relaxing, and plan to purchase more.
Bought several of these pairs of shorts recently and I like them. For whatever reason the forge gray color pair I received didnt fit... I know odd.. despite this I would still recommend this style... just an inconvenience to swap out or just bury them in a drawer
Hi Conner, if you do decide to return or exchange the Men's Lightweight All-Wear Hemp Shorts, you can begin your return here, https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html.
I bought mine on the sale to see if I’d like them. I do. The fabric is light, seems remarkably durable, and is really comfortable in hot weather. I’m a news photographer, I work outside where it’s hot. I also have to look tidy enough to interview fancy, dresses up people uptown. These shorts will do just fine.
The waist is a bit wide, but fit ove... Read Morerall is alright.
I have several pairs of cotton All-Wear shots I’ve worn at work for years. I bought the hemp ones and two pairs of 32”x10” cotton All-Wear shorts because my 31” waist has expanded, my pants need to as well. The cotton ones fit just right, the hemp ones fit large. I’d expect them to vary by color, too. The hemp fabric is dreamy, though. And they’re really comfortable - walking, driving, standing, sitting - whatever.
I really didn’t like the tag on the front of the left leg - it had to go. So I cut it off. Fold them straight out of the dryer to keep them flat & wrinkle free.
The length and fit of these shorts is fantastic. Lightweight and comfortable for summer weather, but they also seem sturdy enough to handle some abuse.
These shorts are very comfortable however the material is quite thin, the backside has worn a couple holes after a few wears, did wear on a couple hikes around Sedona, so I expect thats where the damage came from but none the less these shorts were comfortable and let me move around as much as needed, definitely much more useable as a daily casual ... Read Moreshort, even with the patches in the back now still love to wear these.
I'm sorry to hear about the holes. Sounds like the patches are working out. If you ever have future gear that doesn't hold up the way you'd like, we do offer free repairs or you can send them in as a return [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return)

Mens Lightweight All-Wear Hemp Shorts
These shorts are very comfortable and remain at the top of my list as my go-to pair of shorts. I had a similar pair of shorts from another manufacturer that over time the material would pill up. I'm interested to see if that same condition occurs with Patagonia's hemp blend. Great shorts and highly recommend.
I get a lot of grief for my affection for this color way. It was the color of my young adult adventures in Newport, RI. These shorts are lightweight upgrades to my old shorts and feel great in sticky weather around Bowen’s Wharf and are an homage to days gone by in those environs.
These are the quintessential shorts. The cut is right on the money--not too long and not too short. The material is soft, durable, and a nice weight for summertime. I own these in every color and they are literally the only kind of cotton shorts I buy. I pick up a new pair every year, but even the oldest still wear great and look sharp. A+
I love Patagonia clothing, but I haven’t been impressed by the shorts. The material is very light which is different, but fine. Two things that I don’t like about them are they wrinkle super easily and they flare out at the bottom.
Thanks for the feedback on that and we are sorry to hear about the disappointment. Unfortunately, hemp can tend to wrinkle a bit more than other natural fibers. We tried to remedy this by blending these with some cotton, but we are sorry your'e experiencing some troubles. If you'd like to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) these, please let us know and we are happy to [help](https://www.patagonia.com/customer-service.html#searchterm=contact).

Comfortable, lightweight shorts. Not too
Comfortable, lightweight shorts. Not too loose, not too tight. Dressed them up, dressed them down... my go-to shorts.
Bought the blue because I'm from Colorado and it's also hard to find blue shorts that don't look like every other blue short. I like that they're Hemp because most my wardrobe is Hemp. I like the over all fit even in the groin area. Sadly I'm a 35 so most shorts including these are always loose and I need a belt. But I like... Read Mored them enough to buy two pairs of the 6" shorts. My only complaint is the lack of other cool colors and better positioned belt loops. I recommend this product for good fit good quality.
I really don’t understand what the previous reviewer’s comment about lack of durability is all about. These are great for casual, in-town wear. Maybe he wanted a pair of canvas work pants or should have ordered hiking shorts? I wear shorts like this all day every day in my casual work environment and these are superb!
Used boat camping on Jackson and Yellowstone Lakes last week. Material dries quickly and washes w/out shrinkage or many wrinkles. Construction as expected: excellent.
Perfect length on me for shorts, my wife and daughter even agree. The fabric is pretty darn ( pun intended) perfect. Airy breezy but not a nude feeling. Honestly these are hands down my favorite and go to for casual and sporty activities too.
they fit great and I don’t have to worry about supporting the negative agriculture . I hope Patagonia moves to mostly Hemp. The shorts are also very durable
I really wanted to love these shorts, but the material is just too delicate to be an everyday short. The fit is great, the shorts are light and breathable. However I've owned these for a year of casual use and they are barely wearable anymore. I haven't even had the chance to go hiking/climbing in them, just daily office wear. The fabric ... Read Moreis permanently wrinkled, gets stained when you look at it wrong, is terribly faded, and already has multiple small tears from nothing in particular. They look 10 years old. I recently bought another pair of the all wear shorts in the standard cotton and they are much more durable. I cannot recommend these for anything.
I bought these in the Pelican, which is cool color for Patagonia. I don't think I have seen this color in a lot of places. I have bought a couple of things this year in the new hemp fabric and overall I like them (the Western shirt is another good one). Basically these shorts are the same fit as the All Wear ones, just in this new fabric. My i... Read Morempression is that the hemp makes the fabric very strong despite the material being so lightweight. A nice innovation from Patagonia, particularly if the use of hemp has the added bonus of being better for the environment.
So,I recently decided I am completely done with other brands of work clothing,as I noticed the quality and durability had continued to steadily decrease over the last few years. I was very happy when Patagonia came out with a line of Work Wear Clothes,and I have put there pants to the test,doing tree work,landscaping and other tough jobs. I was dis... Read Moreappointed to find they didn't have work shorts however. I bought two pairs of these All Wear Shorts as work shorts,even though that isn't the original intention for them,
I have my own business as a handy man and so far,I have worn them residing a house,replacing floor joist and decking in several RV trailers,repairing leaks on a few roofs,and various other jobs. Other than a couple spots of paint here and there,they still look like brand new and are very comfortable !!!!! They also keep me cool in the Ozark Heat and Humidity!!!
I just wish they had some small utility pockets for knife and screwdriver,etc. I would also like them in an 8 inch inseam ( I'm 5'8 and have short muscular legs )
I am very hard on clothing,so I try to only buy good quality stuff. As I also live in a small camper in the woods,and off grid,I don't have a lot of clothes due to space and doing laundry by hand most of the time. I like that Patagonia clothes can hold up to almost daily wear and hard work!!!!!!
Thanks Patagonia for never disappointing me with the quality of your clothing.
