FAQs

Can these shorts be used for swimming?

Yes, they are designed for water use and feature mesh-lined pockets for drainage.

Are these shorts true to size?

They feature a relaxed fit; if you are between sizes, refer to the provided size chart or size down for a slimmer silhouette.

How do I clean the key loop?

The key loop is integrated into the pocket; simply rinse it with fresh water if it collects sand or salt after use.

Does the fabric stretch?

The recycled nylon faille is a non-stretch fabric, relying on the relaxed fit for comfort.

Are these shorts suitable for intense hiking?

Absolutely; the nylon is durable and abrasion-resistant, making them great for rugged outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting

Drawcord becomes difficult to adjust

Ensure there is no grit or sand trapped inside the waistband channel; rinse with fresh water and let dry.

Water no longer beads on the fabric

The DWR finish may be wearing off; wash the garment to remove oils and dirt, then apply a DWR-restoring spray.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally conscious use of recycled materials
  • Highly durable and quick-drying nylon construction
  • Internal drawcord provides a customizable and secure fit
  • Mesh-lined pockets prevent water buildup
  • Versatile design suitable for both water and land

Cons

  • 5-inch inseam may feel too short for some preferences
  • Relaxed fit may look bulky depending on personal style
  • Limited stretch compared to spandex-blend technical shorts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Patagonia Baggies, follow these care instructions. Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent and avoid using bleach, as it can degrade the DWR finish. For drying, line drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and energy efficiency; if machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting. The internal drawcord should be adjusted before active use to prevent the waistband from loosening during movement. If the DWR finish starts to lose its effectiveness—meaning water no longer beads off the surface—consider using a technical fabric re-waterproofing spray to restore the coating.
