Design changes! Sizing off.
I own 5 pair from previous years. I ordered more this year & had to return them. The sizing changed. A medium now fits like a small. They took out the slit on the side & changed zippers. Worse quality
Great! But…
I bought one pair size S. Love them! Super comfy. I just ordered another pair in the same size and they do not fit! The size inconsistency is a mark of poor quality control.
Please bring back the Exact North Face Aphrodite 2
My favorite short is the NF Aphrodite 2 short. I have several pairs and they have worked for me, size medium from when I weighed 117 lbs to my current wt of 123 lbs. The 2023 Aphrodite Motion shorts are too short and wide appearing, making my hips look wide. I also prefer the pocket in front for my chapstick, key and or eye drops. Any pocket in the rear, as in the 2024 Aphrodite and 2023 Motion shorts looks bumpy, is hard to access, and I don't like sitting on the items. I was so happy to get some new Aphrodite shorts, but the 2024 model, well, the Mediums are too small, like an Aphrodite 2 small, the Large are too big, and the pocket is in the back, so no new 2024 shorts for me this year. The new Aphrodite waist band is also stiffer, like vulcanized rubber. The bottom line is that there is no size to fit my traditional medium, the small being too tiny and the large too large.
New version runs way smaller!!!
I purchased three pairs of these shorts last year in large and they fit perfectly. However, this year I purchased two different colors from two different retailers and they are both at least an inch smaller in the waist and way tighter everywhere else. I am returning. They are excellent shorts. They simply don’t fit.
Pretty good
Comfy, stretchy, soft, lightweight and fit well. My only complaint is that when something heavy like my phone is in my pocket the pocket hangs down past the hemline.
Super durable!
I love these shorts and wear them for everything. My only complaint is that they are starting to "pill" in the seat area but it's my own fault for wearing them while mountain biking. That being said, they have been through heck and their structure is still super solid. Also, the pockets, they are fantastic! They are pretty deep, and I have not experienced anything falling out unexpectedly. Oh! and, they haven't faded from all the washes. I am actually about to buy another pair because I love them so much and want to wear them more.
Run small
These run very small! I ordered a medium based on the size chart given & I think I could have gone two sizes up. I have these shorts from a few years ago in a small & those still fit me, so inconsistent sizing is definitely an issue with these. Without the size issue, they’re great shorts!
Great multi-purpose short!
I've purchased 3 pairs of these shorts over the past 6 years, and they are my go-to for hiking and backpacking. I am 5'7" 130 lbs, rectangle body shape, and wear a size small for a slightly loose fit. The waistband is a fairly soft, stretchy fabric and is good for wearing with a backpack hip-belt (no buttons/snaps/belt loops to rub). During thru-hikes and long days of wearing a backpack, the ribbed texture of the waistband does rub a little uncomfortably on my hip bones (easily solved with a bit of Leukotape). The water-repellent shorts fabric is very lightweight, breathes well, and packs down well. 4-star rating accounts for sizing inconsistencies between years and colors. This seems to be a problem with many companies that manufacturing products in multiple locations, as may be the case with North Face. Otherwise, I LOVE these shorts!
I love them but they need to keep consistently in the sizing
I love the other 2 pairs of these shorts I bought last year. I purchased the same size medium only much to my dismay that the manufacturer changed the sizing now making the medium more like a small. I measured the waist against each other finding the new pair a full inch and a half in smaller.
They changed the fit, not the same
I really wish they didn't change the fit from the Aphrodite Motion shorts. Those were much better. I am 5'10, 135 lbs normally a small in the original shorts, and now I have to order a large. Makes no sense why they changed this. Will not be buying the new style.
