Patagonia Men's Baggies Lights 6"

Patagonia Men's Baggies Lights 6"

The Baggies in their lightest, most packable form. Built from recycled fishing nets and treated with PFAS-free DWR, the Baggies Lights are a true amphibious short that moves between water and trail without missing a beat and packs down into their own back pocket for easy travel.

Why We Carry It
It's the short we recommend when someone wants one pair of shorts that handles the river, the trail, and the patio without changing.

Highlights

• 96% NetPlus recycled nylon from fishing nets — The fabric is made from postconsumer fishing nets recovered from the ocean, turning a source of plastic pollution into a high-performance short. A sustainability story backed by a traceable supply chain rather than marketing language.
• PFAS-free DWR finish — Sheds light moisture and dries fast after water use without the environmental concerns of traditional fluorinated treatments. Performs on the water and in light rain without holding onto moisture.
• 4% spandex for stretch and mobility — Enough give to move freely through a full range of motion on the trail or in the water without the restrictive feel of a standard nylon short.
• Vertical side pockets with mesh drainage — Reduce drag in the water while the mesh pocket bags drain quickly so you're not carrying a pocketful of water after a swim. Right pocket includes a small key pocket for secure storage.
• Zippered back right pocket that doubles as a stuff sack — Secure storage for valuables and a built-in packing solution. The shorts stuff into this pocket for compact travel storage that fits in a bag or a pack without taking up meaningful space.
• Elasticized waistband with external drawcord — Adjusts for a secure fit in the water without buttons or a fly that adds unnecessary bulk to a lightweight short.
• 4.6 ounce weight — Exceptionally light for a durable, water-ready short with this level of pocket organization and performance.
• Fair Trade Certified factory — The people who made this product earned a fair wage premium for their labor.

Best for

Swimmers, paddlers, hikers, and travelers who want a lightweight, packable short that handles water and trail use with equal competence. A strong one-short solution for river trips, beach travel, and anyone who wants to pack light without carrying separate swim and hiking shorts.
