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 shorts 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 ... MorePATAGONIA: Please make these with and WITHOUT liners.

I have seven pairs and theyre the best shorts around. Theyre durable and really the only shorts I wear. Cant recommend them enough!!

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 the 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 ... MoreWhile these are great swim trunks, they're also marketed as all around fun shorts.

My first pair of these were bought decades ago for Summer hiking in the Adirondack Mountains. The fabric was tough enough for abrasion from rocks, and being able to jump into any lake or stream along the way made them the perfect choice. My most recent pair is for swimming and playing in the surf in the ocean of southern Maine. I purchased them little small to make sure they stay on in all of the waves.There is one small problem that is really my own fault. There is a 4 inch tag sewn into the lining. When I used scissors to remove it, I cut a small snip in the lining. And that small hole is getting larger day by day. They will probably still last the Summer, but not as long as they would have.

Several years ago I purchased a pair of Baggie Longs. The price was high, but the reputation was good. And well deserved--these shorts have survived several years of intense use, including for biking. They are strong and well made. They are comfortable. Really important: the pockets are well made, they are not wearing out as happens with all too many shorts. So I just bought two more pairs. Why not have quality, good looking clothes for the long run?
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 than 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 ... MoreIn the hot desert summers I exercise at dawn with my Baggies Longs and a light T-shirt.

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, forget 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 ... MoreI 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 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.
The Baggies Long were the best short ever made on planet earth before they changed the design. The current iteration is step backwards mainly because the waistband is not tight enough. I'm a big guy and the "L" size slides down my hips, and the draw string (even when drawn tight with a double knot) fails to compensate. Also, the old design used a far superior material that had just the right amount of "give", while the current version is comparatively inflexible & somewhat rigid feeling. I would love Patagonia to go back to the archived version and resurrect it since that old version would earn a 'Garment Hall of Fame" award!
I have been purchasing your 7" Baggies Shorts since they came on the market many years ago. My only complaint is that the quality of the elastic in the waistband has really deteriorated over the years. The original Baggies that I still own and wear have much better quality elastic that has withstood the test of time better than anything you put out now. I don't know if you pay any attention to these reviews but my opinion is that a stronger, better quality elastic waistband would really enhance this product's overall rating, functionality and user's comfort and enjoyment of the product. Other than that, they are great shorts!!
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.First, the material is coarse, not the comfortable loll around in, soft feel, offered by other brands...Next, the waistband is awful. It's basically a glorified shoelace, no elastic, no give, very narrow band... So, to keep these shorts up, it's either pull it taut, which makes the shorts uncomfortable and constricting...Or, leave it loose, in which case, the shorts fall down. Finally, the shorts are proported to be "Quick drying" I didn't find that at all.I won't name names, but there are other multi-use shorts out there that I find better fitting, quicker drying and much ... MoreFor years, I've heard good things about Patagonia Baggies, heck even The Beach Boys sing about Baggies!

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 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 ... MoreI have been wearing these shorts for 8-10 years (I don't know).
