Mountain Hardwear  Dynama/2 Bermuda Shorts - Women's

I am *not* an outdoorsy person, and shorts are my nightmare. So when I decided to go on a trip to an equator-adjacent country, I panicked a bit. But these served me well: -No riding up. All shorts ride up on me, and these never did (even when climbing ruins). -Super lightweight. These never feel like I'm wearing something plasticity or smothering. -Quick dry. I got sweaty, okay?! -Look cute on big hips! If you have wide hips, a butt, and a bit smaller of a waist, these fit in a flattering way. Though they aren't as roomy in the thigh as the pictures here show, they end up shaping to your curves in a comfortable way! I'll never be fully comfortable with myself in shorts, but these are functional, comfortable, and flattering enough that I wanted to write a review.

Put on a few pounds over quarantine working from home. I found these and they're pretty forgiving. Nice length and slimming. I'm a usual size 12. I bought the XL and the L because REI has easy returns, for a year, and our local store was temporarily under government shutdown orders. I ordered online. The XL was nice and big and comfy, but the L will work better in the long run and they are still forgiving and very comfortable. In short, my message is to buy your pre-quarantine size and they'll suit you now and later. They wash very well too. They're pull-on shorts that you can wear up around the waist or low around the hips. I like them so much I may keep both pairs.

I bought two pairs of these shorts last year and was hoping they would offer a new color this year and they did! The fit is terrific and the pockets are just the right size. I love the length and that they are not too too short and not baggy. Now I have three pairs that I just rotate through on a weekly basis. They are definitely worth the price!

Very comfortable pair of shorts, I just wish that the front pockets were about an inch deeper to hold my mobile phone...alas- it's the plague of women's shorts. Rarely can I find a pair that has a deep enough pocket to keep my standard sized phone from falling out. (I'm an active hiker & traveler and frequently envious of men's accommodating pockets).

The elastic waist does not have any adjustability so sizing is important. I am 5’7” 155lbs and I bought a large. Medium would have been better. These are pretty loose and I probably won’t wear them for hiking since they might not stay up while wearing a backpack. I thought I might be able to cuff the hem to customize the length but the leg pocket on the inside hangs too low.

I was originally excited about these shorts. Fit great and felt great. Wore them first time on a hike/climb up the Barr Trail to Pikes Peak. I bought another pair. I always washed them in cold water and hung dry (no dryer) and they look horrible after several wears/washes. They are so pilly now that they look embarrassing. I cannot wear anymore.

These shorts have quickly become my favorite shorts! They're breathable, lightweight, wrinkle-free, stretchy, comfortable, and flattering. I'm 5'8" - 135 lb. I normally wear a size 6, and the medium fits me well. They hit a few inches above my knee. Awesome shorts!

The first pair had a significant pucker in the back on the yoke especially above the pocket. I appreciated that the company allowed me to return and get another pair. The second pair still has pucker but not as bad. I am going to keep but a little disappointed. The material and fit is wonderful other than the pucker.

I bought my first pair in the red color offered and since then, two more pairs this year! For reference, I am 5 ft 2 inches, 120 lbs with a 36 hip and the XS fits great on my 62 year old body. I love the length and how fast the fabric dries if I dip in a lake! I plan to wear with a tankini for swimming; it can be done! The back pocket accommodates my phone for short periods and I keep dog treats or lip balm the left cargo type pocket. Just love these shorts during the hot dry summers in N Calif! My absolute favorite!

I'm on the larger end of medium according to the size chart, but the medium was HUGE. I returned and ordered small in the black and reddish color. Reddish one fits perfectly and the black is so small I cant get it on! Sizing is off a inconsistent. Def. order down! Otherwise these are nice shorts.
