Why We Like The Baggies 5in Short

A summer classic for a reason, the Patagonia Baggies Shorts are at home in the water, on the trail, and everywhere we bring them in between. A DWR-coated, fully recycled shell lined with comfortable mesh dries quickly and breathes well, and the elastic waistband with an internal drawcord gives us a casual fit with the ability to tighten when the going gets a little more serious.

Great Shorts Weird Length

Familiarity:
I returned this product before using it

The shorts themselves are very fashionable however, though specified in the information tab, while the inseam itself is 5" the length of the short above that is much longer than one might expect. In the pictures it seems as though the shorts would have fit relatively comfortably around the mid thigh, in reality they sit much closer to the knee than I would have expected from a 5" inseam short. Not really a design flaw though something to look out for before buying.

Great Staple Shorts

I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

These are true to size and incredibly lightweight yet durable. Definitely need a pair of this in your closet!

Great Shorts for Kayaking

I bought these primarily for a 7-day Kayaking trip in Baja. I essentially wore them for 7 straight days for 8+ hours a day. They held up against the salt and sand very well. The color I bought looked great (tigerlily orange) and while it has some built in grime now still looks pretty solid and didnt fade out. I would recommend these for people looking for a pair of swim shorts.

Had some reservations

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I love Patagonia's stuff but had reservations about these baggies. After trying them out, I'm hooked! I've always used board shorts and still will. but these have quickly become my go-to when going swimming or paddleboarding. Fit is great and true to size. They seem very well made and like they'll last for years to come! Quickly dries which makes them even better. usually pretty good to go after packing up the ISUP and getting the 4runner loaded to head back home or camp.

Amazing

The baggies are a go to for me when it comes to shorts. Super casual and comfortable for everyday use. The liner it comes in can easily be cut off based on preference. Such a classic pair of shorts that I will continue to wear.

A Classic Whose Time Has Come

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I've been wearing Baggies since the late 80's. I've used them for Mt Biking, Climbing, Tennis, Backpacking, Swimming, Surfing, Hiking and Lounging. I went through my last pair in the late 90's, and didn't get another pair until recently. They were great back then, but they're now dated. There are better shorts out there for most uses, as they have a number of design flaws: - They don't have a zipper on any of the pockets. Making them nearly impossible to securely hold anything (e.g., a credit card) during an outing. - The interior liner isn't particularly comfortable. The pockets are structured so if there's anything in them they hang down, and the liner bunches up. - The interior corded key-ring is a nice addition, but its dark color stained the lighter my lighter colored shorts. For hiking, I'd rather wear my Patagonia 9 Trails shorts, which are great. For surfing/swimming, I'd rather wear a pair of board shorts. For tennis and other forms of exercise, I'd rather wear something with a compression liner to keep my bits for bouncing about. About the only thing these shorts are great for is hanging out at home NOT doing anything, which seems distinctly off brand for Patagonia and a short that has been labeled the "original fun-hogs." They're just OK for everything else.

I alter them.

Familiarity:

I have 3 pairs of these. They are great hot conditions utility shorts. The pockets are nicely drained and they are great for being in and around water. I cut the liners out. I?ve never understood the mesh-underwear seen into your shorts idea. Patagonia does it no better than anyone else, it?s still awful IMO. I will absolutely buy these shorts, but the liner comes out immediately.
