I bought these shorts because Josh wrote an epic review on November 3, 2022. What a legend Josh is. You can trust Josh that no spider monkey is getting through these bad boys.
I love the durability and the quality but wish they were a little softer and the inner lining provided more support -little loose. Otherwise same great quality product I expect from Patagonia. Maybe its the recycled material not so soft.
Waist and length are great for swimwear. Legs pretty baggy but that comes with the territory. Have 5inch inseams too for workout and casual wear but these are better as swimwear for my body shape. Pretty cool pattern too
The fabric and quality of the shorts were very good, as one would expect from Patagonia. However, the fit is very strange as it was somehow tight and loose at the same time. Overall, I am disappointed in the comfort and fit of the shorts and would not be interested in purchasing them again.
This is the first thing Ive ever owned from Patagonia and it will for sure not be my last. These shirts are simply brilliant. Ill call these Goldilocks shirts. The 7 inch length isnt too long not too short. Sits a bit above the knee. The material isnt too thick or too thin. Perfect and is super durable. I can easily see these lasting a decade. Pata...

My wife was upset with me when she found out how much I spent on the shorts, when I got bit by a spider monkey in playa Del Carmen Mexico it did not even tear the fabric. I recommend the shorts 10 out of 10
I really love these shorts. like everything yinz(pittsburgh PA slang) people make it is high quality and very comfortable. My only complaint is that the shorts have to be tied or else they start to slide down.
Excellent liner, colors and workmanship all at a great price. And shipped with integrity for our earth and humanity. I placed the order it shipped immediately, I received the package within 5 days. I highly recommend the suit and Patagonia!

From Nine Trails To Baggies Days
While Iv'e been a big fan of the Patagonia Nine Trials for all workouts (love the inner lining and zippers), but decided to purchase the Baggie 7" for post run, post gym, rest days & the Baggie did not disappoint. Its my relax, cool down, go to and the big pockets work well for someone who likes shorts with zippers!!
The shorts fit me perfectly and are true to size (Large). The material is rugged, yet comfortable and they dry in a few hours. The only drawback is the inside liner rides up towards my waist when my phone and or wallet are in the pockets. This is due the extra weight of the phone and wallet pulling down the outer shell. Shell goes down and liner ri... Read Moredes up. This happens even when I tie the waist string to tighten around my waist.
For many years (decades?) Ive lived in my baggies all spring and summer. From the dog park, to bike ride, yoga and tennis. Cant water ski in them as I fall too often. Use surf shorts for that and the ocean. The longs are slightly dressier than the original, so perfect for dining, picnics or even grocery runs.
Used to wear Baggies shorts a lot, back a few years ago (ie, 1980s!). On a whim, I picked up two pair this summer on sale. Both fit great, feel terrific, and are often the first thing I put on in the morning. Hi
These are great shorts except that the elastic on the waist is pretty loose and the it is quite difficult to get the drawstring tight enough. So, if you have anything in you pockets your short tend to slip down. Bit tired of re-tying the drawstring....
We're sorry to hear these have been a disappointment. Your purchase is covered by our Ironclad Guarantee so please don't hesitate to either reach out to your local Patagonia-owned store or our Customer Service team will be glad to [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/). This version of our Baggies is a "relaxed" fit design and you might prefer our "slim" fit Baggies Lights or our "regular" fit Hydropeak Volley Shorts.
I have been on the cusp of purchasing a pair of baggies for over a decade. Finally did it, and I just as I suspected, they're perfect . I wear them in the ocean, and running w the dogs, and chillin on the couch. Im hooked.
I originally purchased the shorts in XL, the size which works with all of my other pants and shorts. The cut was much to full though, for a baggie. The large works well. My weight is 205. The shorts are quick drying and, after only a month of use, seem well made.
Love the fact that the pocket in the back clips closed and can keep a wallet secure. Big pockets also help carry phone and more.
But sure about the net at all times, but can be handy
Shorts are more than baggy. Felt like a large. If I wear them at my natural waistline ( where most guys pants end up), the crotch of the shorts is between my knees and my real crotch. As for the liner, it is huge. If it is supposed to prove an undergarment feel, it is no where close. When hiking, it is like nothing under the short. In the pool, it ... Read Moreprovides no protection when the legs float up. Unless you can design a better liner fit, you might as well not put one in and save us some money. So now roll over the waist about 1.5 inches, pull up the strings and tie really tight, and add underwear. Tried a small, but too small. I have not returned them because I believe in what you are doing, and am a loyal customer. Just making the adjustments and moving forward. I am sure the work fine for most customers. Perhaps I have helped in some way.
Hey Forrest, we appreciate the feedback on our Baggies - 7" shorts. We're sorry to hear that you were not fond of a few different aspects, including the liner. We recommend checking out the [Men's Hydropeak Volley Shorts - 16"](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-hydropeak-volley-shorts-16-inch/86435-DOBB.html?dwvar_86435-DOBB_color=DOBB&cgid=mens-board-shorts) as a possible replacement. The are similar to the Baggies but the fit might work better for you, and they do not have a liner.

Still great
Been wearing baggies for 30 years. They last forever and they have been improved over the years. Great all around shorts.
The baggies series are an incredibly comfortable and well fitting shorts line. I bought the first pair, tried them and immediately went back to Patagonia for three more pair. I will buy more as they become available!
The length and fit are spot on and they are easy to care for. If you haven't tried them yet, get a pair or two before I get the ... Read Morerest of them!
These are durable, multi-use. I have had several pairs over the years. The only problem I've experienced is with the elastic waistband. It failed on one pair and lost its stretch.
Hi Chris, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. If you feel like the elastic band on your Baggies failed prematurely, please feel free to begin a [warranty return or exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) at any time. We'll also reach out to you privately with more assistance.

I recently purchased baggies shorts
I recently purchased baggies shorts but the length is 9 inches rather than 7. I do have multiple pairs of the baggies long 7 inches and I really lke them The 9 inches are better for me as they have bigger side pockets and a snap closure rear pocket.
I also have recently purchased nine trail running shorts 8 inches. These shorts have zipper side po... Read Moreckets and rear pocket. I ride a Catrike Dumont recumbent. If I ride that trike with anything in side pockets that dont close the contents of the pockets will fall out. I take that into account and carry nothing in those pockets. With the zippered side pockets the worry is gone. My keys are safe.
If the baggies long 9 inches had zippered pockets that would be fantastic. Large secure side pockets would be great. I am hoping to see that refinement next year.
The shorts fit great, but the colors are completely different online as compared to in person. Both the gray and blue shorts are much lighter in person.
Hi Evan, we're sorry to hear that the colors didn't come through correctly on our site with your Baggies. We'd be happy to accomodate a [return or exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) whenever you're ready.

Nice enough
I ordered a pair of the Baggies longs - 7" inseam. It seemed more like a swimsuit than a pair of shorts - inner mesh and drawstring, but no belt loops. They fit okay until I put stuff in the pockets, like my wallet and cell phone, and I had to keep hitching them up, which was annoying; so I exchanged them for a pair of Quandary shorts, which a... Read Morere perfect!
Hi hi hi! Love the baggies shorts, fit, look and lengths. Would be amazing if you could be more inclusive and make a 3XL in these shorts!
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
Got these incredible orange Baggies long shorts for summer. Love the bright color and new fit. I have had them on non stop. I am about 200 lbs and 6 foot two and these XL fit perfect. Keep up the excellent quality Patagonia and I will keep coming back!
These are the most relaxed and comfortable shorts I've ever owned. We're sailors, and these are the perfect shorts once the boat is at anchor or on the mooring ball. They're great in the water as well. I bought three pair, and could have bought more.
I don't know what kind of lower body the person has who designed these but they must have zero butt or muscle, these are some of the most uncomfortable fitting shorts i've ever had the misfortune of owning and bringing on a beach trip. The pockets are way too deep as well. The upper thigh portion in FRONT of the shorts fits so oddly, its ... Read Morelike you weren't meant to move around in these. Kind of odd for swim shorts. Lastly the liner is the weirdest fitting piece to it all. I don't even know how to describe it other than extremely uncomfortable.
Hi Charles, thank you for leaving this review! We are incredibly sorry to hear that you are disappointed with this purchase. Please know you are always welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) an item at any time if the item does not fully work for you.

Best travel shorts
Lightweight, packable, and durable. Just returned home from a 12 day road trip to Acadia National Park and had 3 colors of these shorts with me along the way. They held up well all over and around Acadia and into the Atlantic Ocean, were there atop Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, and took a dip with me in Huron, Michigan, and Lake Superior, and al... Read Morel places in between. Couldnt have asked for a better pair of shorts to travel with.
what's working for me is the incredible customer service.

Recently I bought a pair of baggie shorts and the medium was too constricting (ah age...). Exchanging the pr... Read Moreoduct for a pair of large baggies was seamless and pleasant.
Perfect travel shorts for rainforest hikes & swimming
Bought these for my husband for our Costa Rica rainforest trip. Our clothes never dried out because of the humidity and rainstorms every day, so these shorts became only shorts he wanted to wear. The mesh liner kept him cool and dry and the shorts didn't cling to his legs. He also wore them when we went snorkeling, stand up paddle boarding, an... Read Mored hiking through Corcovado rainforest. They're lightweight, clean easily, and dry quickly. We love that the material is 100% post-consumer nylon from fishing nets.
I went a size down in these and they fit like normal shorts at first I ordered a medium and they are definitely baggie a lil too baggy for me I went a size down and they fit perfect
This is a tough item to review. The shorts seem like they could be great for a lot of different activity, but they don't stand out as excellent for anything. The material feels a little...something...stiff? Robust, certainly. I believe it will resist wear very well over time, but it is a heaver weight for the type. The legs are baggy, as the n... Read Moreame implies, so that helps a bit with air flow.
The inner liner makes these feel like swim shorts, and they're fine in water and dry quickly, but the liner is a little loose for my taste to wear the shorts on their own. The baggy nature of the legs also captures air and (potentially) shows off a bit more than some may be prepared for. The liner isn't so loose as to flash people, though, so perhaps I'm overcritical.
All of that makes it sound as though I don't like the shorts, and that isn't true at all. They are convenient and a bit like an AWD crossover. For basic use in almost any activity, they'll be fine. The construction lends itself to water, and hiking with a chance of waterfall is probably their perfect home. You could surf in them, maybe even run a bit. There are better options for both, but if you suddenly needed to run to the beach and hit the lineup, you could.
I ordered these for my 19 year old son. He loves them! The fabric feels good, the fit is great. True to size. Easy to care for and always looks good. (Even when thrown into a duffel bag for a few days)
These shorts are perfect for casual wear or wet wading while fishing. I have used them multiple times rafting some of the rivers in the Pacific Northwest.
Not an original title. This was the slogan for Baggies way back when I ordered my first pair maybe twenty years ago or even longer.

I typically wear a 38/40 in things and the site recommended an XL. I found them to almost be too roomy, but they do have tie straps to cinch them up.

Trail worthy
I wear the Baggies daily from April thru October, actually year round, just under long pants in the winter waiting for the sun to come out and temperatures to rise. They hold up great for work (I build and maintain trails), at home in the yard, playing volleyball, and as casual wear. I pretty much live life in them. Itll be interesting to see how t...

Patagonia successfully helped the planet by using recycled fishing nets to make these shorts, and created the best shorts I've ever worn for summertime fun. I use them in the garden, in the river and around the back porch listening to music in the evening. Thanks for using recycled fishing nets!
I have bought baggies for at least 10-15 years and the latest version seem more boxy and less fitting. I wear them all the time but it seems the quality is not getting better
A little disappointing
Been wearing these shorts for years...and they are still great. Great for all around everything. Fishing, kayaking, sailing, summer work detail and casual wear. No issues but would like another inch or two in the rise. Light weight and cool but tough and durable.
I have had a pair since 2019 and they are by far my favorite pair of shorts. I wear them all the time casually, for running and hiking and to swim. I especially love them for summer trips where there is access to water. They are extremely hardy, and work great for all sports. I occasionally use them for Mountain Biking and they work great. I highly... Read More recommend buying a pair.
We appreciate your feedback and welcome you to return them. Our Baggies fabric is 100% nylon, so they're very quick-drying and durable, but they have little to no stretch.

Baggies short is comfortable and does what is needed in a short.
Excellent short for everyday leisure or a dive into a lake. The short is everything I expected it to be. Highly recommend.
I love these shorts because they can be dressed up or down. Great casual summer short for activities or just lounging. I would be into an unlined version because I feel bad cutting them out.
I am a fan of these shorts but not so much the liner, so I cut it out (sorry patagonia). Easy wearing. The drop on the crotch is a double edged sword, on the one hand, the baggy-ness is nice and relaxed, on the other, it gets in the way when riding a bike. As well as the pockets, nice and spacious, but when riding, tighten the shorts around the thi... Read Moregh. I still wear them out riding, however.
Im a bigger guy at 6 and 215 lbs. I was looking for something to replace my worn out athletic shorts I used when going for long walks and hikes around my neighborhood. These baggies are great for my needs. I sweat a lot here in US southeast, so its nice these dry more quickly than the cheaper shorts Ive bought in the past.
The versatile always ready shorts. In the summer months I wake up play a round of golf, fish and then take a dip in these. Once dry I rock them to my local farmers market. They are comfy but durable. Only thing not necessary is the mesh lining inside. All I do is snip there lining before my first wear.
Baggies have a long history as a beach style
Pants have not changed much since they were introduced in 1982, from style to material
It's an evergreen style and a lot of colors that I probably have
About ten of them in 5 and 7 inches
These swim trunks are great. I hope to use them as hiking shorts soon. The color faded from swimming pool chemicals quickly to light gray from blue. I hope the material doesnt degrade.
Hello Michael! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review on the shorts. We're stoked to hear that you've been enjoying them so far, and we're excited for you to wear them hiking. They preform great out of the water as well. Its definitely a little disappointing that the color has started to fade, but that can happen when the baggies are met with harsh pool chemicals. If you feel like the material starts to degrade don't hesitate to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) them under warranty.

Perfect Fit
At 6'3"/195lbs (35" waist, 34" inseam), my XL Baggies were way too big. Size L comes to the rescue and fits me perfectly
My third pair of these puppies and I love them. Long distance bike rides, beach shorts, and the casual everyday wear they are stellar. Love the deep pockets, have fit a kombucha bottle in each pocket when hands are full and have loaded them up with rocks and shells at the beach and they don't slip down, the draw string always holds true. Also ... Read Morepatterns are rad too so I can put some color into my life. The 7 inch go past my knees and the 5 inch goes above, both pair seem to have the same sized pockets so doesn't matter which pair I rock whilst on my everyday adventures.
These shorts are a perfect thing. Compared to past models, the shell material is softer and less glossy, but the pockets have less mesh and are more structured. Im a size 29 waist and Small fits me perfectly.
I just bought three pair of Men's Baggies Long - 7 in. Previously I had purchased about 12 pair of these shorts and have loved them. The new ones (just now in stock after a long wait) are somewhat larger in the waist and length than the prior shorts I bought. If this was intentional, I would have appreciated a "heads-up" as I would h... Read Moreave bought the medium size instead of the large ones I bought. My new shorts just seem kinda large and bug me when I wear them (they tend to fall down if I have my phone in my pocket and the bottom of the shorts now hit the top of my knee.

Hey Wayne, thank you for the review. We appreciate the feedback and will notify our design team on the fit issues. So long as the shorts are in new condition, you're welcome to exchange them out for a size down. To begin that process, please click [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).
