What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"These shorts are my go-to for everything from paddling to hiking. The lightweight fabric dries fast, and the elastic waistband with a drawcord keeps them secure no matter what I’m doing. The side pockets drain quickly, and the back zip pocket doubles as a stuff sack, making them perfect for travel."From sunrise paddles to post-hike swims, the Patagonia Baggies Lights 6in Shorts are built to handle every adventure. Made with 96% NetPlus® postconsumer recycled nylon from discarded fishing nets, these shorts help reduce ocean plastic pollution while offering lightweight, quick-drying performance. The added stretch ensures unrestricted movement whether we're on the trail, in the water, or just lounging at camp. A durable water-repellent (DWR) finish sheds light moisture, while the elastic waistband and adjustable drawcord provide a secure, comfortable fit. Thoughtfully designed with mesh-lined pockets for drainage and a zippered back pocket that doubles as a packable stuff sack, these shorts are a go-anywhere staple for outdoor enthusiasts.
