Travel Shorts
I bought these shorts for my summer travel. I love the comfortable stretch fabric that does not wrinkle in my suitcase. The black color is great for a dressier look and goes with everything! One problem is that since I have bigger thighs, these shorts are a bit snug. I would have liked a little more room in the legs, but sizes larger than 10 were n... Read Moreot available at the store. Keep in mind this short runs very small.
I usually wear a size 6, but had to go up 2 sizes and ended up with size10.
My favorite pair of shorts that keep me cool. Just moved to somewhere hot and it's been a struggle finding longer shorts that aren't just denim. These are great, just long enough for me. They hit a few inches above the knee. The fabric has enough stretch that they are comfy and move with you. The only thing I don't love is the waist,...

I'm 5'4" and 122 - size 10 fits perfectly. Tried these in a pant and didn't like them at all, but the shorts are great. Fabric is flexible, drapes nicely, very comfortable and functional.

I purchased both a size 2 and size 4 and both ran tight and would not be comfortable for hiking. I have a pair of the Skyline Traveler pants in size 2 - petite length, that I purchased a few years ago. I love those pants for travel and hiking, but these shorts do not fit anything like the full length pants.
Bought two pairs in size 0 which is typically my Patagonia size. These shorts run a tad small/tight so I bought two more pairs in size 2 on Worn Wear. They fit perfectly. So comfortable! Would love to see a few other colors!
I followed the suggestions in the reviews and ordered one size up for a looser fit. They still have a slimmer fit than my Quandary shorts in size 0. I think the size 0's would fit me, but they would just be a tightly fitting garment, which is not what I was looking for. These shorts are flattering and have a good fit. Sometimes with shorts, I ... Read Morehave fit issues where there is extra fabric in the lower hips, but not with these.
I really wish I could get more shorts like this, in the longer inseam length. I have a strong preference for shorts with an inseam longer than 5 inches, but unless you want basketball shorts, that's very hard to find even at Patagonia, and particularly if you are looking for a 24-26", since many brands have increased the size of their clothes and no longer sell clothing that fits such a size. Obviously I also cannot get men's shorts because they do not come in my size, and because they are not made to fit a female body. Anyway I am grateful for these shorts, very much so, they're getting me through the summer and I can tell they will be durable.
These shorts got a hole in them less than 2 weeks after I purchased them. I use them for everyday use. I was not hiking or doing anything that would have caused a whole. They are just made out of a very delicate material apparently. I will not be purchasing Patagonia clothing again!
Hi Lisa! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear that your shorts developed a hole after two weeks. That's definitely not the quality we expect out of our clothing, so we'd consider this a warranty issue. We've reached out directly with return assistance.

Fast drying and comfortable
I love how fast these shorts dry. Great length on the shorts. I do wish the pockets were a little deeper in the front. That's the only thing I'd change.
I grow and gather lots of berries and fruits to store for winter. These are comfortable shorts for gardening and still look nice enough to wear anywhere. Stretchy for bending under blueberry bushes, but go right back in shape when I straighten. Nice green color as well.
These shorts. I struggle with my weight and putting these shorts on made me very conscious of that fact. Put your pride aside and order 1-2 sizes up if youre determined to try them.
They do state slim fit.
Other reviewers are correct- runs small.
Im typically a 2, ordered 2 and theyre fine, but probably would have exchanged for a 4 if they had been available.
Otherwise great shorts
I ordered my usual size in Patagonia (2) and these shorts were so tiny I could hardly get them over my hips. Other pants in the same order were also size 2 and fit fine. I tried to get the shorts in a larger size to try but they were sold out so then had to go through customer service to order different shorts. So be careful with these, when they s...

Stretchy fabric is lightweight and comfortable for bike commuting around town, casual wear, climbing, and hiking.

I love these shorts! Normally I wear a 4, but the 6 fit me better. They stretch a little, are super comfortable and no chaffing. They wash up nicely, dont shrink or wrinkle. I want a pair in all of the colors! I highly recommend these shorts for casual or hiking.
I am 5'4" & 110, normally wear a Patagonia S or XS, ordered a size 4 - but these shorts are extremely small! I now see that many, many others have had the same experience. So hey Patagonia - you need to stop saying that they are "true to size" on the website!!
Hello Mary, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry that the sizing did not work out on the shorts and have shared your findings with our design team. You are certainly welcome to [return or exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) them at your convenience.

Great shorts
I love these shorts and purchased them in black & blue. They do run small (I have other pants in size 8). I have very thin legs, no thighs and a long inseam, so it is hard to find shorts. They are extremely comfortable. Mine do no make any noise when I walk. Please make them in a khaki/sand color.
I am an 8 in most things. These were too tight. I sent back for a 10.
Hope that works because I really like them and they are better than I expected. Thank you for being a great company
Great length for 60+ legs. Super stretchy for ease of movement. There is an elasticized tie at the waistband which is good because they do stretch out a bit after wearing. All in all great comfy shorts.
I am very pleased with the shorts. However, they
really ran small. I weigh 98 lbs. I usually wear
size 4 in Patagonia, but had to return and reorder a size 6. In other brands I usually wear size 2. The
quality is great and I really like the fabric.
I really like the style and fabric. Flattering fit.
The shorts run really small. I have always worn
size 4 in Patagonia, but had to return and reorder
a size 6. I am 5' tall and weigh 98 lbs.
I got a kick out of the material used for these shorts for some reason it seems crinkly and noisy when rubbed together. I liked the look and length, but they were a bit small. If you are not sneaking up on anyone or thing, they're probably nice for easy hikes. (not bird watching)
I ordered both this pair of shorts as well as the Quandry shorts in size 8. The traveler style fits like a slim size 6, so Ive exchanged them for a size 10, and they are still a bit tight. The size 8 in the Quandry size 8 is quite loose.
I love these shorts so much I bought 3 different colors. Now I hope they bring out new colors. I really like the length and a bit higher waist. They are great to hike in and dress up with a dressier top.
I love these shorts! I'm about to order my 3rd pair. They are very comfortable, a good length (which can easily be shortened with one turn that stays), and stay looking good over multiple days of wear. I wash in warm water and hang to dry - they fit just as well as when they were new, and don't wrinkle. Dry quickly too.
Love the fit and design. Good pockets and cut. I am 57 and 135-140 lbs. rectangle shape. Most shorts now are sooo wide, these are not.
Fabric is odd, yet....Seems super durable. They do swish noisily. But are comfortable. And seems wrinkle-ly after washing. Easily avoided though. I cannot find another short to compare. So I am in!
These shorts are very comfortable. I like the light weight fabric. The snap closure is practical. The style can be casual or even some what dressy. I highly recommend this product.
These are incredibly comfortable shorts that do it all. They can take a beating on the farm or look nice enough to wear traveling. I love that they are light weight and breathable. Oh, and last but not least, they are also very flattering!
This is my first purchase of Patagonia shorts, wont t be my last. They fit perfectly, so comfortable to wear, material is soft, smooth, and moves with you. Both thumbs up!
I was looking for a style similar to my husband's wavefarer shorts, which is a softer fabric, and a jean cut style easy for beach to hike to dinner. These shorts are an awful fabric, loud to walk in and plasticky. They are going back.
These shorts are so comfortable! Just the right amount of stretchy material that makes the shorts move with you during activities. So comfortable I can even golf in these. The length Is perfect - transitions from daytime activities to dinner at a restaurant without needing to change. Hidden drawstring is also versatile without the need of a belt. I... Read Moret was a great purchase. Wish there were more colors available at my size.
Horrible cut, straight leg flares at thigh, belt loops and zipper with button protrude out over the belly, fels like grandma shorts and they are heavy. Not for hiking. Thick 'plasticky' material. Not ripstop derivative. Odor trapping.

I have a couple pair of the Skyline Traveler pants, which wash up well and dry quickly even when washing by hand and line drying.

I'm a 4 in most companies pants, often a 6 in Patagonia pants. These fit me like they fit the model, too tight in the butt and legs. The fabric seemed nice and I liked the length, wish they had fit better. I think a size larger would have been too big in the waist.

Perfect
Love Patagonia.. I have their jackets but not pants. These shorts are what I was looking for.. comfortable, lightweight. I’m 5’3” 138 and usually an 8 or 28 and this size 8 was true fit for me.
We're very sorry about the size inconsistency! Please reach out to our [Customer Service](https://www.patagonia.com/customer-service.html) team if you'd like to return the pair of shorts that didn't fit as well.

Best shorts ever
These shorts are the perfect length and weight and can be dressed up or down. They are very flattering and slimming. I did have to order a full size larger than I typically wear in Patagonia bottoms.
Thank you designers! The fit is perfect for me; 110 pounds, 5'5", straight and slim. I bought a pair for hiking, but I'm finding they are too nice looking to get sap on.....they are my "dress shorts".
I like how you can change the length by folding up the hem once or twice; it stays put and isn't bulky.
I bough 2 more ... Read Morepairs, and would really like capri pants with the same fit, please :-)
The Patagonia pant with a similar fit is the quandary pant (fabric was changed last year; I have the earlier version); I wear a size 2 in the pant, and a 4 in the shorts.
Like the new fabric and style. I purchased two pair. The fit reminds me of how Patagonia previously sized shorts. I have a very old pair that has traveled the globe with me and still works. Love the new ones but could use a style with more pockets for hiking.
My size is usually a four or six and in this style; I wear a six.
The features are wonderful for an extremely hot and humid tropical weather. They also dried fast after washed by hand. I purchased a size 10 based on the website's size chart and slim fit description. The shorts actually felt like a relaxed fit than a slim fit. Luckily, the drawcord helped keep my shorts at my waist even though there was gathe... Read Morered excess fabric. Unfortunately, I did not have time to exchange for a smaller size before the trip which is my fault. But I am pleased with the performance of the shorts.
I'm 5'0" and 115 lbs. I almost always wear a Patagonia XS or a size 4 in shorts. I ordered a size 4 and they are WAY too small. It almost seems like the tag is wrong. I don't even think I could fit into a size 6, which would be really, really odd for me. Otherwise, the shorts are nice and seem to be a great fabric for traveling.... Read More

Great Shorts!
I was looking for a pair of shorts that were long enough for me to wear to work in the office, but a material that I could use for outdoor activities. These shorts are perfect. They are very comfortable, stretchy enough to move around and also flattering.
I wear a size 8 normally so I got a size 10 Incase only tiny people can fit Patagonia. It’s true only tiny people can fit Patagonia. They were too small
