Sizing Notes
Measurements are stated in inches unless otherwise indicated. Size chart values represent body measurements, not garment measurements.
SHORT: Some pants are available in short sizes, which generally means an inseam that is 2.5 inches shorter than regular sizes.
TALL: Some pants, shirts, jackets and parkas are available in tall sizes, which generally means an inseam that is 3 inches longer and a rise that is 1 inch longer, a shirt or jacket body that is 2 inches longer, a parka body that is 2.5 inches longer and sleeves that are 2.5 inches longer than regular sizes.
Capri or cropped pants have an intentionally shorter inseam—reference the technical specs instead of this chart.

Improved From Past Designs
Over the past few years REI has missed the mark on the Sahara Cargo Shorts design and fit. A few weeks ago, I bought the new design for Sahara shorts and am very pleased so far. The new waist size selection are true to size and fit very much like the original Sahara Shorts of the past. Not like the past few years where the sizing was always changing. The waist adjustment next to the top button does help the fit if your waist is slightly smaller that the size purchased and the belt loops give you another option if desired. The inseam is longer (11 inches) than I would like, but not a deal breaker. Overall a very comfortable fit. Time will tell if this design will hold up as well as my older versions of this product.
Overall great shorts
I have purchased three pairs of these shorts over the past year. Overall these are perfect shorts for my lifestyle. I use them for my daily walks at home in BrasĂlia and have used them for 450,000 km of tourist and work travel in Southeast Asia, Europe, Australia/NZ, North America, and South America over the past year. Since my wife and I are continuously washing clothes in hotel rooms, the material/weight characteristics (very light) of these shorts make them perfect for our needs. They are a good compliment to the LL Bean Crest Mountain shorts that I also use. The only change that I suggest is a zipper for at least one back pocket.
Extremely Comfortable
I always wear a 34 and these new cargo model ran small on me and I had to get a size larger. But with the internal belt and belt loops I was fine. I bought two pair and have been wearing them all summer for everyday use, out to dinner, 100 degree weather, hiking, walking and golf. Extremely comfortable and light weight. I like the internal belt. Never cared for the elastic waist band. I like to adjust my own waist feel and these shorts allow that.
Great fit, function and material.
These fit and feel great. Bought 2 pairs. I normally wear a 33 and chose 32. The 34 are too big in the waist. The length hits just above the knee. No excessive rubbing or seems while hiking. Everyday wear. The right leg cargo pocket has a mesh divider for a phone or keys, something that you don't want sloshing around when you walk or hike. Great job REI!
Perfect fit & flexibility
These light weight shorts are so comfortable that I had to buy the combo-pants too. My trip to Utah and 5 National Parks proved that they are durable too. Thanks REI!
Good travel shorts
These are great for travelling, not too short, nice deep pockets, and quick to dry. I can wash these in the hotel sink, hang them up, and they'll be dry by morning.
I’ve got 2!
I had a pair of these for a year. Loved them so much that I bought another. Wrinkles pretty much fall out. Super breathable. Not restricting. Love em.
Best Shorts
Absolutely the best shorts I've ever put on. No belt required, as there is one built in. Love them, and would have a pair in every color.
Like 'Em
Fit is comfortable without being baggy. Also, light so good for hot days hiking or traveling
nice looking
I bought these for my husband and they fit quite nicely. But they don't have many colors, and most of them are ugly.
