I wear these all summer, then they turn into my house wear! Essential shorts for everyday. Some times I cut the liners out and wear these with compression boxers, or a bike shammy. Deep pockets the longer fabric is more modest for around town use. All around great fast drying shorts.
whenever I hit the waves the pockets fill with water, they look like 2 balloons, there's a problem with the design. The stitch line goes above the mesh, that's why it takes a lot drain. It's physics... you should reconsider the pockets stitching.
Thank you for this feedback on the pockets, Juan; we're sharing your thoughts with our designers. If this gets to be too frustrating please keep in mind you can [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) them if you wish.

They ruined the best shorts!
I have been wearing these shorts for 8-10 years (I don't know). When I found them, I had found the best shorts I have ever owned. The fit great. They looked great. I wore them for everything from fishing to dinner out. When Patagonia resigned them and moved manufacturing, they ruined them. They are now heavier and the fit is terrible. There is... Read More a weird pull across my crotch. they fit funny in the thigh. I had hoped that this was a temporary thing, but I just spoke with a CSR that told me they have not changed in the last 12 months and there does't seem to be any information on a redesign in the foreseeable future. PLEASE, make them like you did 5-6 years ago. As of now, these shorts have went the way of Vasque Sundowners, Newcastle Brown Ale, and countless other products that I have fallen in love with & then the companies sell or "Improve" the product - leaving me sad and looking for a replacement.
Hey John, thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear that the redesign has been such a disappointment for you. We implemented these design changes in Spring of 2023. We'll share your feedback with our product team for future consideration. In the meantime, you can shop lightly-used past season versions of Baggies on our [Worn Wear website](https://wornwear.patagonia.com/shop/search?q=Baggies).

Good shorts, bad tags
For some reason the shorts I bought don't have care instructions in English on them and the website smugly refers me to the tags when looking for care instructions. All in all an almost positive experience.
Hi Jones, thank you for this feedback. We're sorry if the tags proved frustrating! The care instructions for these shorts are posted on the product page: machine wash cold, do not bleach, tumble dry low, do not iron. You can find more detailed care instructions for our products [here](https://www.patagonia.com/repairs/). Please let us know if we can be of any further help!

Still Great Shorts
I have been wearing these baggies for about a decade, mostly for biking (over padded bike shorts). Still great, changes have been minimal over the years. Some people say they now run too small, some say too large, I think they are fine. And for all of those who say they are "too baggy," perhaps you should consider that shorts named "... Read Morebaggies" just may not be for you.
I really like these shorts. I use them for hiking, swimming and yoga and can wear them as casual wear. My only suggestion is that the elastic on the waistband could be a bit tighter. When I have a phone in the pocket, the shorts want to slip off.
Been wearing baggies since Pata created them and always been happy.
Size recommendation is off online, as I wear a 33 in pants and ordered a medium this time ( fit of Pata clothing sizes do change quite a bit) and shorts were a bit snug in M for me. They are super
durable!
I needed another pair of baggies for morning water ski sessions that turn into other adventures. They fit perfect, dry fast and can stay on for the rest of the day if needed. I got the Mango color with the sunshine patch on them. Perfect for those early morning ski sessions
My do everything shorts. Gym, hiking, running, working outside, and just hanging out. Comfortable fit, and adjustable waist with drawstring. Dry fast and are amazingly durable given the light weight.
This new color called: Fitz Roy Patchwork: Ink Black is so good that I can wear any top or jacket and still be fashionably in sync.
I think this is my 14th pair of Baggies shorts- I'm a BIG fan of the fit, material, warranty, construction, customer service, stand on saving our home planet and providing a living wage to all involved.
I have 3 pairs of Baggies purchased over the past few years. While my height & weight
(155 lbs.), remain consistent, the shorts do not. One pair is uncomfortably tight (I cut out the inner lining but it didn't make a difference); second pair fits nicely: most recent pair is too loose in the waist. I've added a cord loc to the drawstr... Read Moreing but they still slide down over my hips. The elastic waistband seems ineffective. The shorts themselves appear to be quite nice. Hard to purchase more items when encountering this inconsistency. Seems like things aren't like they used to be. Too bad. I've been wearing Patagonia products since the days of the Great Pacific Iron Works Stand-up Shorts.
Pockets are so awkward to get into. I have to do like a mini backbend to get my hand in the pocket. Annoying. Pockets need zippers and a slant easy entry. Stiching on front is not attractive. Come on people, I love Patagonia. Let's get this together!

Favorite shorts
I have worn these for decades. I have baggies pants and the jacket as well. I started with Patagonia in 1972. Love the products and the ethos.
OK! Along with the original “stand-up” shorts, Baggies are the “go-to” apparel! Great for around the house, out-and about, impromptu dip in a creek, and travel! Fun colors! Comfy! Great!
This is my first pair of Baggies. I wasn't sure if the Longs were what I would like but I find them to be perfect for hiking, walking, general wearing and (when I get a chance) likely swimming.
I had questions of waist size as well but the M works perfectly for me. I am 5'10 1/2" tall, with a 34" waist. I note that people have a...

Great product
Own several pairs of these shorts, highly recommend
Ive been buying these shorts for 15+ years. Ive never worn a pair out. They are comfortable, regardless of what Im doing and look good enough to go anywhere you would wear shorts. They dry quickly and can be washed with all your other stuff. The waist is elastic with a string tie so it is adjustable through weight and fitness changes. When I see a ...

I love the length of these shorts and the baggy style. The fabric holds up to wearing day after day and never seems to show any dirt. My only change would be to lose the mesh liner which I don't need and it seems to move out of place and chafe my legs.

I Keep Coming Back to Baggies
I have worn countless number of Baggies throughout my life and continue to come back for more. Hard to imagine my new pairs are even better than the last. But, the softer material is a pleasure, the pastel colors a joy, and the in-pocket loop for securing small valuables (like keys) an added bonus that helps to keep my mind focused downriver when r...

These shorts are my favorite Patagonia item so far. I got them for 50% off so they were 100% worth it. For MSRP, I dont think Id buy them though. They work great for hiking and running. They were ok for swimming but the seam at the bottom of each leg is a bit too scratchy. Water beads up on them as well unless theyre completely wet through
I don't get all the negitive comments about these shorts. I wore them at 35 and I am wearing them at 55. If you're looking for technical surf shorts - these are not them.

Around dawn in the Southwest, once the coyotes are gone but before the heat comes on, I take my morning hike in my Baggies Longs. I enjoy the varieties of colors they come in, but treasure their durable structure, their pockets, key cord, and that back pocket to keep my bandana in reserve, if the sun starts to cook my neck.
Been a fan of the Baggie line for years, but as I've 'aged', was grateful to learn of a longer inseam option. Overall, this short brings to bear all of the things that the originals offered, but I was hoping that the liner material might be a bit less 'stiff' or course.

Perfect for cumfy every-day wear, but don't put anything in pockets!
I really like these shorts for everyday wear. They are extremely comfortable, and nice and roomy. The only downside is they are a bit on the baggy side, and if you put anything in the pocket with weight (ie your cell phone), the shorts slide down as you walk. They do have a waistband tie string, but tying that makes the shorts much less comfortable... Read More.
If Patagonia increased the width of the elastic waistband a bit, I think that might provide just enough additional elasticity around the waist to prevent sliding shorts. The current waistband appears to be about 1/2-inch wide.
I own other Patagonia elastic waist shorts where the elastic waistband is closer to 3/4-inch to 1-inch wide, and those shorts stay up much, much better.
I have purchased two pairs (a large and today a medium) and absolutely love them. Great to slip on after work to chill around the house, and, bonus, they work if I jump in the river to throw the fly, these are tough, sturdy, comfortable and they look good.

Not too happy with my baggies because long story short, theyre simply not baggy. Im 6ft, 200lbs, size 32 waist, with the ever so slightest athletic build, yet these choke my groin/gluteal region. The waist is too large to be worn without tying them, so its hard to justify that I sized them too small. I would be hesitant to go larger because I feel ...

It. Has. A. Liner.
The product description definitely says it has a mesh liner, but Patagonia should really include a picture with the liner prominently displayed. I don't know how this is supposed to be comfortable unless you're not wearing underwear, unless that's the point.
We're sorry to hear that the liner in these Baggies is a disappointing feature. It is designed to be used in place of underwear. We recommend that you return them to the Patagonia-owned store in your area, or use our online Return Portal. You may prefer our [Hydropeak Volley Short, Outdoor Everyday Shorts, or Funhoggers Cotton Shorts](https://www.patagonia.com/shop/mens/bottoms/shorts) without a liner.

Desert Solace
In the ultra-summer heat of a SoCal desert climate, I exercise at dawn, wearing long baggies and my Ukraine T-shirt. A perfect way to start the day, unless the coyotes get in my way.
I have worn the 7" Baggies for nearly 10 years and love them. However, the latest iteration of the short runs a full size larger than its predecessors. The inner liner didn't provide support, and the length struck the middle of my kneecap instead of above my knee. The waist requires that the drawstring be tied, or they will fall off. The ... Read MoreXL fits like an XXL. I also laid the old on top of the new and there was a significant difference in sizing. I will still recommend them, but with the caveat that you need to size down. (Or the product could have been mislabeled).
I like them other than the liner which is uncomfortable and ruins the short for casual wear. As far as I can tell; there are no pictures of the liner in the marketing and the only place you can tell there is a liner is in the Features/Specs. Another small issue is that the liner is described as "black mesh". It's clearly white. Doesn... Read More't matter since I cut it out.
Hey Sean, thanks for the feedback. We're sorry to hear that the liner is was not comfortable in your experience. We'll check in with our website team to work on any discrepancies with the color description.

Change in sizing?
I love baggie longs, they've been my go to shorts for at least 30 years. (OK, maybe they were just baggies back then.)

Hey Rick, thanks for the review. We double checked on these shorts to see if we made any changes to the fit, and it looks like the only redesign we've done is to the material package, not the fit.

All Day Wear
I don't have to think about changing through my day of swimming, walks, grabbing a coffee, bike ride, etc.
I am a fan of Patagonia's products and the company but I have no clue what the company was thinking when they changed the Baggies to whatever they are supposed to be now?
First, why add the liners? It limits the all-around functionality of these shorts. I guess if you want to wear swimming and want a liner, it makes sense. With the liner, fo... Read Morerget about wearing baggies mountain biking, running, hiking, etc. The liner is just annoying and a "bug," not a "feature." Seriously why the liner? It makes ZERO sense.
Second, the material has taken a step back. The previous versions of Baggies were softer and offered more "stretch." The new version of Baggies are "course" and not stretchy. It makes the shorts less comfortable but I guess dry quicker (not worth the tradeoff).
To wrap up, I used to wear Baggies ~3 days a week in the summer and they were perfect for whatever I was going to do. Even though I cut the liner out of my new Baggies, now I just decide to go with other shorts that are more comfortable for me and adaptable to what is my day brings. .....Overall, a big fail by Patagonia designers.
Hi Rob! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear about the disapointment with the liner and material.

Super versatile short. Pack for every adventure
Been using this short for the last 8 years. I pack it in hydration pack mountain biking for enroute swim and comfortable post ride wear. Great for paddle boarding comfortable enough for short hikes and great for pool swimming. Pocket layout is great for a casual short. Super simple design easy to change into.
In the hot desert summers I exercise at dawn with my Baggies Longs and a light T-shirt. Recently I ordered two new Baggies Longs, one in black, the other in greenish. I was surprised to see they were apparently of different vintage. The black pair had a key loop in the right hand pocket, the greenish pair did not. The black pair was a tad heavier t... Read Morehan the greenish pair. Both were the same price.
On more thing, both pairs camd with a 4 inch plastic notice about recycling them. But the notice chafed against my bare skin while exercising. When I cut the labels off with scissors, unfortunately I also cut the mesh brief where it attaches to the waist, on the greenish pair. So, after first use, one pair is slightly damaged. I hope the rip wont worsen. Its a nuisance but not worth an exchange, especially since I did the damage, inadvertently. BTW, the old prior pairs I had given to Goodwill.
These are my 6th pair of Patagonia Baggies and I am a repeat buyer becasue, like everything Patagonia, they are durable (I've never worn a pair out), comfortable, fit great and look awesome. I wear these shorts every single day, all summer. Mine never see the inside of a dryer...I hang dry and they're ready to go in a couple hours. The on... Read Morely shorts I need.
Patagonia mkaes clothes in a sustainable way that makes me want to buy despite the higher cost. The fit is good and they perform as advertised. Excellent as shorts or swim trucks.
I buy these shorts for my son because I love this planet. Patagonia stands behind everything they sell and they take care of the planet. Clothing should be long lasting, stylish and comfortable for active people. Patagonia shorts are the ones for us, because they work so well for us and the planet.
PATAGONIA: Please make these with and WITHOUT liners. Make that an option when purchasing please. I have seven pair, four Ive cut the liners out of. In an effort to reduce waste please offer them linerless for those of us who dont want/need a liner. That would reduce waste, reduce cost, and make for a product thats more versatile!
Ok, these short... Read Mores are amazing. Wear them for nearly all my activities and for casual wear outside the house. Theyve been climbing, rafting, hiking, swimming, fixed cars, been repaired, and keep on ticking. I love the bungee to keep my key when Im trail running, love the rear snap pocket, and the drawstring. The mesh pocket bottoms help when Im swimming and I appreciate how quickly they dry. Dont love the super deep pockets, and wish they had a linerless version as I dont need a liner when Im wearing them out with friends or around the house. I have seven pairs and theyre the best shorts around. Theyre durable and really the only shorts I wear. Cant recommend them enough!!
Comical That a Version Without a Liner Doesn't Exist - Please Make One
While these are great swim trunks, they're also marketed as all around fun shorts. This would be true if they didn't have a mandatory liner that made your boxers ride up and out, every time you didn't want to go commando, or weren't planning on swimming.
I've seen hundreds of posts on social media/Reddit of people cutting ... Read Morethe liners out their baggies so they can wear them normally, and the fact that after 20+ years Patagonia hasn't figured this out/provided a version without a liner, is genuinely comical.
This wouldn't be as funny if the solution didn't also involve streamlining/reducing materials, a core design tenet of Patagonia's development team, and overall brand philosophy.
The Baggies are one of Patagonia's flagship products, and a consistent summer revenue driver. I can think of nothing more obvious than introducing a non liner version of these shorts for fans who don't want to go commando every time they wear them.
Patagonia, please make a liner-less version.

Fit is great. Easy to dry when wet. Where both casually and for swimming. Great shorts.
Hi Aidan, thank you for taking the time to submit this review. You're right that these Baggies aren't designed for a snug fit, but rather a more relaxed fit. Each of our shorts styles notes the type of fit on the product page, and you might be happier with those marked "regular" or "slim" fit. Please let us know if we can help you find an alternative!
I am on pair number 6. Have had 4 pairs for years and you cant wear them out. If you line dry them the elastic wears forever and they dont fade.

For years, I've heard good things about Patagonia Baggies, heck even The Beach Boys sing about Baggies! So, I finally got around to ordering a pair, and I have to say, they're very disappointing.

I won't name names, but there are other multi-use shorts out there that I find better fitting, quicker drying and much more comfortable.
I wore my Baggies, otherwise I would have sent them back...What I wanted was the kind of shorts I could "live in" this summer...Sadly, these will go right to Goodwill.

All around great pair of gear
Always loved these and recently picked up some new colors for the year. L is a perfect fit. I wear these from the start of Spring pretty much the remainder of the year here in South Tx. Thank you!
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.

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. I have ALWAYS loved Patagonia products despite the inflated price tag--they are durable, I am still cross-country skiing in Patagonia apparel that I purchased over 3 decades ago. 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.

Read Morehese new ones, made from recycled plastic, hold up. So far so good
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.
