5'10 and wear 31's. I never bought a 8in short and wasn't sure if i'd think they were to small but the fit is great. just above the knee. Will buy again.
I bought two pairs of these shorts (blue and Beige), which are my go-to shorts for outdoor activities. I love the style, the way they fit, and how comfortable they are.
nice fit, light material good for hot weather. I would buy more of this product if there were more color choices. And If they made pants from this material.
These are great everyday shorts. Office casual to around town or even light hiking use is perfect. Lighter than their cotton counterparts and more breathable.
Hi Gregory, thank you for sharing this review. We're sorry you weren't happy with this fabric! Your satisfaction is guaranteed, so we will reach out to you about returning these shorts.

Soft but still durable
Fits great, the 8 inch length is not too short, not too long, its like a Goldilocks fit!! I like some color, I wish there were more options like this in the Patagonia line-up, one can only own so many grey, khaki, and earth tone shorts. How about some patterns?
These are the second pair of these I own and they are extremely comfortable and dressier than technical. They get softer the more they are washed which means you are rewarded for keeping these shorts in your rotation. Would recommend these shorts for casual wear.
Fit great, awesome feel, looks nice. But man, they show every bit of sweat like my crotch went swimming. My wife doesnt comment on my clothes much, but shes instructed me to change out of these before because its so noticable.
Hi Grant, thank you for taking the time to submit this review. We're sorry this fabric wasn't good for you, but glad to see you've returned the shorts. Please let us know if we can help you find an alternative that will suit your needs better!

Runs small.
A 33 is more like a 29.
I wish Patagonia would get their sizing right.
Leg opening is way too big. Looks more like a skirt than shorts.
Thank you for sharing this feedback on the fit of these shorts, John. We appreciate hearing from you about your experience and we will share this with our product designers. We want you to be happy with everything you get from us, and we're happy to see you've returned the shorts that weren't going to work for you. Please let us know if we can be of any further help!

Very nice casual short
These fit TTS. No vanity sizing here. Love these shorts, but would like two small changes. The zipper fly cover folds a little weird and leaves the zipper showing. They also have zero stretch. 2% stretch would be great in these. Crotch sits pretty high so any large leg movements get tight quick.
These shorts fit great and comfortable right out of the chute. Bought other hemp fiber products in the past and this one seems to present a bit of advancement in treadology.
These are good quality, but didn't work for me style-wise. Purely a matter of personal taste.
I read other reviews saying the waist was a little small, which I agree with. I ordered a size one inch up and the waist was fine. I just didn't love the overall fit (a bit baggy and an inch too long), both of which would be fine for others.
Th... Read Moreese wear like they might be more comfortable on the golf course than the trail, which is probably what they're designed for. If that's your vibe, these are a great choice. It's just not my vibe.
These shorts are great for the first wearing. Great fabric, cool in summer, TTS. The first time we washed them, the gray dye started to streak. Having had this problem with gray Patagonia cotton shorts, we returned them for a refund. Wish they had held their color. They were great otherwise.
Hi Laurel! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear that the dye started to fade and streak after you washed them. We're happy to hear you returned the shorts as we definitely consider this a warranty issue. Feedback like this is crucial to improving things for future seasons so we'll share this with our design team.

Not what expected.
Sizing is way off. I have a couple of pairs of Quandary shorts in 33" and they fit great. These shorts in 33" are way too small. Can't even button when sucking in my gut and I don't even have a gut. Leg opening is way too big.
Hi John, we apologize for the off fit on those Lightweight All-Wear Hemp Shorts. Please feel free to begin a [return or exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) for a new size at any time.

Love these shorts! I was
Love these shorts! I was looking for lightweight summer shorts, primarily for golf (sorry Yvon). These are perfect. Super comfortable with great styling. Environmentally conscious materials are a big plus. Could not be happier.

Versatile and Comfortable
These run true to size and fit great if you like that in between length - not too short and not below the knee. I have multiple pairs. A workhorse one that I garden or camp in and another for work.
Had these a week or so and really dont want to take em off. Lightweight is an apt description, theyre super comfy even when its warm out. When my other pair of shorts finally gives up, theyll be replaced with another pair of these!
Sizing was up 1 inch from what I normally wear, but manufacturers are all a little different. Patagonia customer supp... Read Moreort is the best, and handled the exchange with no fuss.
I have a few pairs in different colors.These shorts are very comfortable and light, great for a casual outing or other outdoor event. I am a size 38 which I purchased and the shorts are a bit wide on the waist. Washing them does not shrink or change colors.
Overall great shorts
Thank you for submitting this review, Amit. We're so sorry to hear those shorts have already ripped! They should hold up better than that. We will reach out to you about returning them.

Great fabric for the tropics, worn in Costa Rica all year round
I use to wear stand up shorts and while the fabric seemed and is heavier it was always very comfortable and cool. Hemp is even more comfortable but maybe not as durable. The stand up shorts from the 70's and 80's use to wear longer than the hemp but that is not the case today.
So wrinkly, I tried everything, hang dry delicate wash, iron them steam them. After a couple hours of wear back to a wrinkled mess. Way to much work for casual shorts
We're very sorry to hear that the fabric of these shorts has been a disappointment. We recommend closing the button and zipper, turn them inside out, then machine wash warm with a mild detergent. Hanging them to air dry is best, but you can also tumble dry on low heat. No fabric softener should be used in wash or dry. In addition, your purchase is covered by our [Ironclad Guarantee](https://help.patagonia.com/s/article/Ironclad-Guarantee), so we would be happy to help you with a return and we're reaching out privately.

Looks great
Love these shorts already, they look great. Fit is right where I expected it to be and the inseam is what I like which is just above my knee cap but not too short. I got the 8 inch inseam. Will be picking up other colors for daily wear
I love these shorts and use them for both casual and with more of a dress shirt. They dry fast and do not attract dirt or stains. I highly recommend this product.
Great fabric and feel. I dont see the same wrinkling as others - the casual look is perfect and they stay cool. Blue and gray colors are perfect. Im a 30 and 30 fit is right on.
These run at or just above my knees when I stand up and about 2 to 3 above my knees when I sit. I wish I ordered the 10 inseam. Otherwise fabric is comfortable and feels lighter than regular cotton shorts.
I normally wear a size 30 but ordered a 31 based on the reviews I read. They fit great and are comfortable. They are very light weight and will be great for the hot humid summers we have here. I have ordered them in every color. If there were additional colors I would order them too.
Each time I wear these, the the shorts are completely covered with wrinkles radiating outward from the crotch like a sunburst. The fit on these shorts was what I expected, but the quality of the material is reminiscent of something that would cost 1/3 as much anywhere else.
Hey Matt, we appreciate the feedback on our Lightweight All-Wear Hemp Shorts. These shorts are a 76% organic cotton/24% hemp blend, so they can definitely be prone to wrinkling; nothing an iron shouldn't be able to smooth out. With that said, if you're unhappy with their performance, you're always welcome to return. Perhaps something with a synthetic material will be better suited to your needs, like the [Men's Quandary Shorts - 10"](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-quandary-hiking-shorts-10-inch/57826.html?dwvar_57826_color=FGE&cgid=root).

Good Fit and Well Made
I think the pockets are just the right size. I've been wearing these for over a year and they show really no signs of wear.
I like that these new All-Wear shorts now use a hemp/cotton blend for breathability, but durability has been compromised. These shorts wear out faster than the original 100% organic cotton All-Wear shorts (and the Stand Up shorts are not a good alternative as they are too heavy and chafe with their rough texture). Please consider bringing back the ... Read Moreoriginal All-Wear shorts!
Great shorts. Really comfy and lightweight/ breathable for hot days. But only 3 stars because 1) the logo on the leg makes them look too casual and 2) previous pairs havent lasted very long before they start to wear out and rip near the pockets
The fit around the waist is good. However, the way the legs are designed and cut is weird. They should have an almost imperceptible taper, it would make them less stodgy, but instead they go straight down and almost flare out in this odd boxy silhouette that isnt stylish or flattering. Its not even dad shorts, its grandpa shorts. The material itsel... Read Moref is a bit like crepe paper. I was expecting it to be thick and casual but it looks thin and formal like one of those cheap looking suits made from a shiny fabric except its matte. It needs to be thick and ropey and hang like the trail harbor line, those are excellent casual pieces. Would not recommend for a casual, worn in short.
I wear a 33 waist in all my of jeans and shorts from other companies. These were extremely tight, unwearable, no stretch at all. I would probably have to order two sizes up for these to fit right. But Im just going to return because the giant logo on front ruins them and the material has no stretch to it. Would not recommend.
Hey Adam, we appreciate the feedback on the Lightweight All-Wear Hemp Shorts. We're sorry to hear that these ran small for you, and we will share your feedback on fit with the team. Details like logo placement and whether a material is stretchy or not can be found on the product page specs and features. For a pair of similar shorts with stretch and no logo, we recommend checking out the [Men's Altvia Trail Shorts - 10"](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-altvia-trail-shorts-10-inch/57185.html?dwvar_57185_color=NENA&cgid=root).

Perfect length
Living in Hawaii I prefer something light weight. This short is casual enough to wear anywhere and throw on an Aloha shirt and fine dining awaits.
Great shorts and the grey was really cool. Not a big deal but took them on a vacation and I threw them in a back pack and the garment remained wrinkled for the rest of my trip.
I just received my shorts. I ordered a pair a couple years ago, they fit well and wore well, so I wanted a second in a different color. The cloth of the new shorts is significantly thinner and flimsier than that used in my older pair, and there's a Patagonia logo label on the front hem (I should have noticed this when I ordered, but didn'... Read Moret).
These shorts are too expensive to justify poor quality materials and enforced brand advertising. I'm returning them to my local store for a refund.
Thank you for the feedback Tim. We've made some recent changes which has resulted in a lighter fabric. This allows for more breathability. We've also added the p-6 logo to the pocket as you've stated. We're always happy to discuss updates and changes to gear with you prior to purchase, or to make suggestions on other gear that may suit you better.

Thin material wears out quickly
These shorts are not at all durable. Ive worn out two pairs (purchased at the same time) in about two years of intermittent use. In both cases, the fabric on the seat wore through.
These were not as I excepted, I have bought the hemp style shorts the shorts I received previous to these were much heavier fabric (which I thought these would have also). The shorts are fine but not what i wanted them to be.

Lightweight and incredibly comfortable
These shorts are great for hiking. They are lightweight and super comfortable. I was impressed with how well-made they are.

Comfortable, good fitting shorts.
I wanted some sustainably produced, comfortable shorts for wearing around casually every day during warm weather. This is the second pair I bought as I like them so well the first time. They mstched my needs perfectly.
These are exactly what I was looking for in a pair of decent looking, comfortable and sustainably sourced shorts. The only thing that would be an improvement is cargo shorts in the same length from the same material. A flap pocket in back would be nice but that's quibbling.
Go-to shorts. Great material, light enough to be cool. Pockets are reasonably sized. Best of all, they fit my 26 legs unlike all the skinny leg options.
I like the shorter inseam that makes it feel like
shorts again instead of a pair of peddle pushers.
Never cared for the current style of shorts that are below your knees.....
I'll echo other sentiments that the old 100% organic cotton model was a better overall short than the hemp blend. These are very light and comfortable, but the fit is different and the material doesn't feel as solid as the previous models. I have almost exclusively worn these shorts for the last 4 or so years, but I will have to start rep... Read Morelacing them with a different style going forward.

Thin shorts run a little small
They looked great and I was happy with them until first wash. They didn't shrink as I was careful to dry on low but they do appear very worn already. They also wrinkle very easily. I will wear them for yard work and fishing but not for social outings based on their appearance after a couple washes. I suspect this is indicative of hemp.

Great shorts!
I love these shorts. I got them in blue and khaki. Lightweight and they look great. They do run small. Im 6 195 and I typically fit in 33 in waist but those were too tight in these so I returned them for 34s.
I am 5 foot 9 inches, 165 lbs. and athletic. Shorts are probably a little snugger than I expected in the seat, but relax with wear.

I love the Patagonia brand but the feel of the fabric and the corresponding fit didn't work for me. Love the my Baggy Hemp Natural shorts by Patagonia, but these weren't quite what I was expecting.

Shorts review
Nice shorts, I do think you could do better job regarding description of what is the difference in the numerous shorts you offer. Why this one over that one . The length of hiking shorts seems long as well.
Comfy, sleek, soft. As others have noted these shorts run small. I'm normally a 32, these I needed the 33. Only thing is I bought 2 pairs of 32s, returned them, and bought 2 pairs same 8" inseam in 33s and the blue ones are tight, the gray ones fit perfect. Will return the blue ones in hopes it was a manufacturing error and try a new 33. ... Read MoreHope they work out.
I ordered the wrong size initially, return process was very easy and the communication was great. Just got these shorts in the mail...they are nice and light and Patagonia rugged. Will be ordering more!
I have several pairs of shorts left to my disposal. I have GAP cotton/linen blend, and two of your hemp blend shorts. Your shorts are extremely comfortable and light weight.

Great "all purpose" shorts

I bought these shorts about two months ago and wore them primarily to work every day. Last week I noticed that the concrete countertops had worn a hole in the shorts.

Lightweight, but run small
I'm a 32" in most shorts and pants, but these were just a bit too snug to hang onto. I'm not sure if I like how high they come above the knee yet either. They say they are 8", but the 7" Stand up Shorts come down lower than these, which is strange.
I've worn this model shorts for years. They used to be 100% organic cotton; now they are a blend of cotton and hemp. 100% cotton is much better: heavier, more durable, and more comfortable. I would like Patagonia to bring back 100% organic cotton.
Thanks for your feedback on the fabric change. You might like the [Men's Stand Up® Shorts - 7"](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-stand-up-shorts-7-inch/57228.html) for an all organic cotton casual short.

Not my last pair
These are great! I'm 5'10" / 143 lbs with a 32" inseam and I was worried these would be a little long at 8" but they were perfect. The material is very light, breathable, and comfortable. Can't recommend these enough.
I purchased several pair for an extended trip. They are comfortable, versatile and fashion flexible. They work great for hiking and trekking in the outdoors. Highly recommend them. By the way, Im 69. So, you dont have to be a young adventurer to enjoy them.
These hemp shorts have clean enough lines that I can wear them to work, but they fit in just as well on the bike or trail.
They breathe well, move well, and are generally awesome. My favorite short, for sure.
I wear shorts year round. I often look for the perfect shorts. These are them. Super comfortable, great fit. They work while standing knee deep in a creek, fishing, or standing in a bar with friends. (Except for Covid. Wear a mask). I have these in a few colors, and will probably get more. Please make these forever.
So ordered a 34, but a bit tight. Usually spot on for me. Exchange for 35. Works after a tiny dart. Great feel and length. Nice material. They dont shrink.
I've had many iterations of these pants through the years. They typically last 2-3 years of casual summer use before the hems start to fray. I do not like labels on clothes. It's acceptable when they are on the back but on the front is too conspicuous for my taste. I had not ordered them for this fact, but finally ordered 2 pair which arr... Read Moreived today.

I'm 6'0" and 245lbs, these shorts are very fresh and comfortable for Puerto Rico weather (average 90°F) and they are very easy wearing and provide enough mobility to not have to worry about any tears or rips. Also, if you get a stain it's very easy to wash since the knit is open and lightweight without sacrificing strength.
I intended to buy swim shorts that were made of cotton and hemp I mistakenly ended up with the shorts that were sent to me which are comfortable however they require a belt

Don't sweat the wrinkles or the fit
Reading other reviews, I was concerned about wrinkling, and whether the fit is consistent with the old cotton All Wears.

Likewise on the fit, these feel very, very close to the 2019 All Wears they replaced... exactly the same l... Read Moreength/width when overlaid.
The weight and breathability of these shorts exceeded my expectations. The construction seems sturdy, but I suppose only time will tell. No distracting features. Wrinkle easier than anticipated, but its not like Im wearing them to church, so not a huge deal
The shorts are very comfortable and really lightweight for hot days. They seemed a bit shiny out of the bag and I'm hoping that dulls a bit with wear. We'll see.
It took me several tries to get the right size for these. I finally landed on 35 waist - 8 length. I normally wear a 33/34.
I have 10 shorts from other brands that arent too long but these 10 were too long and too baggy.
Great lightweight short.

Ive been wearing Patagonia since the 80s. My kids and grandkids are also huge fans. Ill try to wear these shorts out but my experience is that it takes a lot of wear over a lot of years.
