Minimalist comfort perfected in the Barely Baggies 2.5in Short
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"These shorts are my go-to for everything—beach walks, quick swims, running errands. The short inseam and flowy fabric are super comfortable, and they dry crazy fast."
Summer demands gear that transitions seamlessly between activities, so we designed the Patagonia Barely Baggies 2.5in Short to excel whether we're hiking coastal trails or cooling off in alpine lakes. Soft synthetic fabric dries quickly while the short inseam maximizes sun exposure, creating shorts that embrace the season's potential rather than limiting it.

Runs a bit small

These run a tad small in the color I bought. I have read that sizes are a little inconsistent between colors, and maybe that is the case. The rise is shorter, feels more comfortable to wear a bit below the belly, however the waistband is a little tight for that. I might try to size up and see how it fits. XS is my usual size in Patagonia.

I bought the same style, different color, earlier this year and the shorts from back country are way bigger.

Light airy short. Love them!

These shorts are comfy, lightweight, and quick drying. I sometimes wear them over my swimsuit bottoms. They dry fast when they get wet. The mesh pockets are great and drain well. A loop in one pocket is very convenient for attaching a key. The 2.5 inch inseam and leg side splits give mobility and the waistband is comfortable and stretchy. They are perfect for swimming, hiking, and relaxing. Great everyday short.

Weird Fit

The way the seams ride up on the behind make these shorts impossible for anyone with a butt to wear. Standing up straight, theyre fine. But once you start walking theyre awful. Sitting down they ride up into all your crevasses. 0/10

Small - Not Typical Patagonia Sizing

I have a mint pair of these exact shorts, and they fit totally differently. My shorts I already own are size L, 2.5" and fit me like a glove. I ordered red L 2.5" shorts from backcountry and they are a solid 2" larger on the waistband and very stiff, not soft. I am disappointed in these shorts.

Meh

I'm actually kind of disappointed in these. There's zero stretch to this short, even in the waistband. Pulling them off and on is more of a struggle than it should be. I wear a 28 jean and bought a medium in this short and it's TIGHT. Beyond that, it's a great-if-not-a-little-stiff fabric and well-constructed. I expect that it'll last years and I'm hoping to break them in as I wash them. I just wish that it was slightly stretchy and more comfy. If stretchy and comfy is what you're looking for, this isn't it.
