These are unlined shorts that I intend to use for running, hiking and casual wear. My main usage will be to wear them over a pair of merino bike shorts for hiking. I’ve taken them in one walk over 3 miles. They fit true to size for me and I purchased my normal size medium. They sit higher on the waist and they have a nice amount of stretch. The waistband is nice and wide, stays in place and is very comfortable. The hand pockets fit my iPhone 14 Pro. I didn’t use the drawstring. The material is lightweight but feels durable. Only time will tell with that. I’d highly recommend these.
Really pleased with these shorts! I purchased them to take on a walking holiday to the Lakes and they didn’t disappoint! Weather was warm so they kept me cool with brilliant freedom of movement when walking up the mountains. They were also quick to dry following a downpour at the top of Scafell Pike! I would thoroughly recommend these shorts!
Favorite shorts! Patagonia used to make a similar short, “the happy hike”. I don’t know why companies have to change things. Please never stop making these shorts. I also love the color because it goes with almost everything!
Great fit, love the fabric and length. Has a key/gel pocket, but I just wish for a side one too. Or a deeper pocket at the back for my phone. Other than that they're superb. Worn for running, SUP and mountain walking.
Loved them, super comfy, no chafing. Thick band at the top hold them in place. Pockets a good size. Will be buying other colours!
Have climbed several mountains in these shorts. They are very comfortable and the pockets are handy.
I bought these for my wife and she loves them. Great for running and wearing casually.
Great, lightweight, high waisted short shorts. Comfortable to wear. Will buy again.
Probably the comfiest shorts I've ever owned and they like great
Liked them so much, my partner got a pair for himself as well.
