I have purchased baggies light for more than forty years. They have always stood the test of time. I replaced my stock with multiple units of the latest version. The fabric is an improvement from before and the slimmer fit in the leg is a welcome modification.Two differences are not as welcomed:•The waists are snugger and do not expand comfortably..•The drawstrings are made of a rigid scratchy material that is particularly uncomfortable at the knot point. I leave the strings untied to minimize irritation.

Love these shorts. Agree with the last reviewer though: these need a back pocket. Also, I won’t be buying any of this years colors because….oof. A little too bold for my taste. Glad I bought multiple pairs of all of last years colors though because they killed it with those colors.These shorts are great for athletic legs. The stretch has tons of give. That is what makes these the buy rather than the regular Baggies that have no spandex. Gotta have some give with shorts. I live in these in the summer.I am about 5’10” 150 and I go with the large, but I wear a 34 waisted jeans. I wear my shorts kind of looser but I never have to cinch these up.PLEASE keep making these Patagonia. Maybe next year, though, some lighter colors options please.

Love the material and simplicity of these shorts: they are great for swimming, working out, lounging, whatever. Fast drying, little stretch for good mobility, and solidly built.If you’ve been doing your squats, though, you may want to steer clear: these are not great shorts if you’ve got a superior posterior. Slim legged folks will probably love these, but all the stretch in the world won’t help you jam more ham in there.

I like them, but the regular baggies are better. Not having a back pocket is really annoying unless you’re just using them for swimming. The front pockets are too shallow and they don’t sag down when you sot so things will easily fall out if sitting. And there are no zippered or buttoned pockets so can’t swim with anything in them. They also should be about $20 cheaper for what they are. 5’8” with 31” waist, 29” inseam, and small works well. Slightly snug.
I have been wearing baggie shorts since you first made them. They have always been my favorite for backpacking. The orginal baggie lights were perfect for hiking and jumping into mountain lakes.The issue was that they often got ripped. It did not matter that much to me; I kept buying them anyway. I was sad when you stopped making them; My old pairs eventually wore out.These new baggie lights combine durability with the light quick drying fabric. It is hard to improve on a classic, but you have found a way. Thank you!
Have had them for over two years and I'm pretty disappointed with them.I'm 5'10" 170 and very active (lifting and biking mostly)Sorry to be a Karen, but these shorts really do make me angry whenever I wear them lol.My issues with them:-Material has absolutely zero give-Small leg opening at bottom gets stuck on quads-Crotch is very low (bad for full ROM and ALWAYS gets stuck on bike seat when standing up and leaning back)-Too long (I wear 30-31" pants and I find these shorts are like an inch too long)The combination of low crotch, long length, and small leg opening makes these shorts extremely hindering when trying to utilize full ROM with your legs.Sizing up to a large doesn't work either they just get super baggy and weird on me.What I DO like is that ... MoreHave had them for over two years and I'm pretty disappointed with them.I'm 5'10" 170 and very active (lifting and biking mostly)Sorry to be a Karen, but these shorts really do make me angry whenever I wear them lol.My issues with them:-Material has absolutely zero give-Small leg opening at bottom gets stuck on quads-Crotch is very low (bad for full ROM and ALWAYS gets stuck on bike seat when standing up and leaning back)-Too long (I wear 30-31" pants and I find these shorts are like an inch too long)The combination of low crotch, long length, and small leg opening makes these shorts extremely hindering when trying to utilize full ROM with your legs.Sizing up to a large doesn't work either they just get super baggy and weird on me.What I DO like is that they are well made.I seriously wish I could get my money back though.
I really wanted to love these shorts! Nice big pockets, material was cool, colors were great and didn't mind the 6.5in inseam.I had to return after only walking in these for a few minutes since the waistband was painful and left marks on my skin (I am a true medium and love many other Patagonia shorts). The waist is not soft at all and way too stiff for comfort. Also, the drawstrings were a thin hard cord instead of the usual supple lace. Overall the waistband and drawstring package were a major flaw to an other wise excellent garment. Would've appreciated a back pocket, but I was very surprised with how unpleasant they were, really just unwearable :(
These shorts are an absolute joy to wear since they have a bit of stretch to them. Also, if you’re in the skinny leg club, this is the model of baggies for you since they have a slimmer fit (much better than the older baggies that are like parachutes on your legs). My only complaint is that there’s no back pocket at all which is a serious problem when you need to live in your shorts. This means that your wallet goes in the front pocket which is bulky and in the way. Additionally, if you’re one of the weird people like me who keeps a clipped pocket knife in your back pocket, it has to go in the front pocket. Slim/stretchy baggies need a pocket for these to be the ultimate shorts. If you use a fanny pack this is a non-issue I suppose.
I absolutely love these shorts. I wear them for working out and around the house and under dresses, etc. They’re so soft, it’s like butter! But not too hot either. I don’t feel very sweaty in them at all (XXL, so I run a bit hot anyways), except when I’m working out, but that’s to be expected. So far, no pilling (just got them over Xmas, but I wear them a LOT), and the fit is fantastic! It’s not curve controlling/smoothing very much, so if that’s what you’re looking for, these shorts aren’t it. But if you want a pair of shorts you can move in without worries of sweat marks or feeling a bit too constrained, these are your shorts! SO freaking comfy, so breathable and like a second skin. Highly recommend, even for the bigger folks.
Standard baggies are a fairly loose or relaxed fit. I’m 6ft and 160 lbs and find the slimmer fit of the Baggie Lights much more to my liking. After washing they can be a bit stiff or rough but after wearing for a short while they loosen up. I find myself wearing them all day without realizing it. Also nice to be able to jump in the water at anytime. Wished they came in more colors that I liked, but the two pairs I own serve me well.
