It rode up my bum a little, but not often. I still like them and bought the barely bikini style. Those have yet to arrive.

Comments about Patagonia Active Boy Shorts - Women's:

After deciding thongs were a form of torture, I've converted to boy shorts. Having tried several different styles and brands, these are by far my favorite. They fit perfectly, don't ride up, and are super lightweight and comfy. I highly recommend them. Note I'm 5'7" with an athletic build (typically wear curvy fit jeans, size 4 or 6) and size M in these fit perfect.

These are great! I'm slowly changing over my whole underwear drawer over to patagonia undies :) A little expensive, but it's a good company and they are durable.

Comments about Patagonia Active Boy Shorts - Women's:

These are TERRIBLE! I read all the bad reviews online, but decided that since I have a smaller-sized butt these would be fine for me, but they are awful! They ride up more than I ever thought possible. I tried to take these on a two week trek in Nepal, but gave up on wearing them because they are so incredibly uncomfortable while hiking. The cut is really strange, and the legs are almost too long in the front, but way too short in the back. They also stretch out a lot with use, and the legs tend to roll up when you put on pants.

Comments about Patagonia Active Boy Shorts - Women's:

I love these; they don't ride up or show under clothing, they're soft and breathable, and cute. However, they do tend to stretch a little with wear; I wish they offered size XS, because the SM is large enough that I've had to stop wearing them.

Comments about Patagonia Active Boy Shorts - Women's:

I spent a week in the Tetons and wore these the whole time. I go very lightweight when hiking and climbing so i used these undies as my bathing suit as well. They fit great and I never knew they were there. I'm lean but have a huge bum so maybe that's why they fit better. I want 5 more pairs! More colors please.

Poor Fit

Best Uses

Comments about Patagonia Active Boy Shorts - Women's:

Patagonia underwear is generally terrific. Great material, longevity, quick drying, odor resistant, in short: awesome. But these shorts are, in short, terrible unless you enjoy being constantly reminded of your underwear the entire day. It is work to be discrete about removing your underwear from the crevasse of your bottom every 5 minutes throughout the day that by the end it is just blatant retrieval punctuated by frustration that you can't simply take them off and throw them away. I always wear a medium in underwear, I allow the possibility that in the boy short cut you should size down to ensure a tighter fit and perhaps then they will stay put. In the future, I will stick with briefs which is unfortunate because the boy short is a super cute look. But when it comes to an active lifestyle cute doesn't matter when you are miserably consumed by the unfortunate final destination of the undies rather than the world around you.

Comments about Patagonia Active Boy Shorts - Women's:

I purchased this cut of underwear because I wanted something that wouldn't ride up or show panty lines when I hiked. I also needed something lightweight and odor resistant.

They don't show panty lines and fit great when you aren't climbing over rocks and such. I am overall pleased with the underwear. I just wish the legs were a little longer to help alleviate the riding up issue.

Comments about Patagonia Active Boy Shorts - Women's:

I've been looking for a good pair of sports panties for a while now, and I'm sad to say, these aren't it. These panties ride in the crotch but sag in the back. They're so low they don't provide necessary coverage in front or back, and the leg opening area is long and loose and quickly lose form, leaving the wearer with flapping fabric. They are very uncomfortable and I found myself taking them off mid-day every time I wore them.
