Comments about REI Sahara Shorts - Women's:

Love these shorts for summer hiking in Arizona--great design, comfortable fit, lightweight fabric, adjustable waist, quick drying, and large side pockets for quick/easy access. Like the longer length, too. May just have to get another pair in another color!

Comments about REI Sahara Shorts - Women's:

These are extremely comfortable shorts that fit me well. I am 5'5" and 140 lbs, narrow in the waist with fuller hips and thighs. The 8 fits very well, with even a little room. I love the pockets that are generously sized without being bulky - (big enough for your phone, keys, etc.) They are very flattering on me as well. The material is great - bombproof. I am so stoked that I ordered 2 pairs when they were on sale. REI - please make these in more colors!!!!

Comments about REI Sahara Shorts - Women's:

These shorts are amazing. I had them for 7 years and wore them for over 1100 days before they finally split on the rear seam. I slid on my rear over rock faces, fell rock climbing, bushwacked through heavy brush off-trail. Nothing could rip them. Longest lasting shorts I've ever had.

Comments about REI Sahara Shorts - Women's:

Determined to travel to France and Italy this summer ultra, ultra light, with both hands free, I brought a light and dark pair of these shorts along with just a few, very light weight blouses, clean socks, sandals and tennies. Quick drying was critical this year, as it rained several times at the Tour de France (see photo)

These shorts always looked great, washed and dry overnight. The seat -zippered pocket stowed my baggie-wrapped passport; each front pocket held paper money, coins, a small notebook and lip gloss...and anything else I may need. For extra security, I safety-pinned shut the side pocket zippers while on busses and trains.
These shorts are terrific and I never felt out of place even going out to dinner in family-style places in France. Just a pair of sandals rather than tennis shoes did the trick.
Highly recommend...The seat size is not too big, by the way.

Comments about REI Sahara Shorts - Women's:

These shorts are loose yet fit well. I had bulked up a little and other clothes fit my thighs tightly. These are still loose and comfortable. I'm really happy with my purchase

Comments about REI Sahara Shorts - Women's:

Be sure to read the size chart before you order these. Standard measurements will probably place you in a different size than you may be accustomed to, but ordering by measurements is accurate. Shorts for women with a high rise are hard to find and these are great. Love the fit and really, really love all the pockets. I'd actually been wearing men's smalls for years because their pockets were so much better. Would love to see these also made in a cotton type material for times when I'm not traveling.

Comments about REI Sahara Shorts - Women's:

Great lightweight fabric, practical adjustable waist, practical pockets that are large enough to be useful. Reasonable waist - below belly button but sufficient coverage in the back. Nice long length. If there is a negative, it's that they are just a tad tight in the butt.
