Patagonia Men's Baggies Shorts 5"

Patagonia Men's Baggies 5" Shorts

The original amphibious short that defined what a versatile water-to-trail short should be. The Baggies are built from recycled fishing nets with a quick-dry mesh liner and PFAS-free DWR for a rugged, multifunctional short that earns its place as the one pair you reach for when you're not sure what the day holds.

Why We Carry It
The Baggies have been the default answer to "what should I wear on the river" for decades and they've earned that reputation one trip at a time.

Highlights

• 100% NetPlus postconsumer recycled nylon faille — Made entirely from recovered fishing nets that would otherwise contribute to ocean plastic pollution. A full recycled content fabric with a traceable supply chain and a faille texture that adds durability and a slightly more refined look than standard nylon shorts.
• PFAS-free DWR finish — Sheds light moisture and dries fast after water use without the environmental concerns of traditional fluorinated treatments. Performs on the river and in light rain without holding onto moisture.
• Quick-dry 100% recycled polyester mesh liner — Built-in liner that dries fast and moves comfortably against the skin for water and trail use without a separate swim brief. The mesh construction drains efficiently after a swim.
• Vertical side pockets with drain-and-dry mesh corners — Reduce drag in the water while the mesh pocket bags drain and dry quickly so you're not carrying water in your pockets after a swim or a crossing.
• Rear right pocket with flap and low-profile snap — Secure storage for a card, a key, or small essentials that stays closed in the water without a bulky zipper. Low-profile snap keeps the closure flat and unobtrusive.
• Elasticized waistband with internal drawcord — A clean exterior look with the adjustability of a drawcord kept internal for a more polished appearance on and off the water.
• 5-inch inseam — A versatile length that hits mid-thigh for comfortable water and trail use without going too short or too long for either.
• Fair Trade Certified factory — The people who made this product earned a fair wage premium for their labor.

Best for

Paddlers, swimmers, hikers, and active travelers who want a durable, versatile short that handles water and trail use with equal confidence. A strong everyday warm weather short for anyone who moves between the river, the trail, and the town without wanting to change clothes between them.
