Patagonia Women's Barely Baggies 2.5" Shorts

Patagonia Women's Barely Baggies 2.5" Shorts

A shorter, lower-rise take on the classic Baggies for women who want a minimal, amphibious short that moves freely and dries fast. Built from recycled fishing nets with PFAS-free DWR, the Barely Baggies are the short you reach for when the day involves water, sun, and not much else.

Why We Carry It
It's the short we recommend for river days and summer hiking when someone wants something that goes from the water to the trail without a second thought.

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.
• Low rise with elastic waistband and internal drawcord — A lower rise than the classic Baggies for a more casual, relaxed fit. The internal drawcord keeps the exterior clean while allowing a customizable, secure fit.
• Side-entry front pockets with recycled mesh lining and key loop — Drain quickly after water use and keep essentials accessible on the move. The elastic key loop inside the right pocket keeps your key secure without a separate clip or carabiner.
• Side hem slits — Add mobility and comfort on active days without compromising the short silhouette.
• 2.5-inch inseam — A minimal length that stays out of your way on the water, on the trail, and at the beach. The shortest inseam in the Baggies lineup for maximum freedom of movement.
• 4.5 ounce weight — Light enough to forget you're wearing them. A competitive weight for a durable, water-ready short with drainage pockets.
• Fair Trade Certified factory — The people who made this product earned a fair wage premium for their labor.

Best for

Women swimmers, paddlers, hikers, and beach-goers who want a minimal, quick-drying short with a low rise and short inseam for warm weather days on and off the water. A strong warm weather essential for anyone who wants one short that handles everything from the river to the trailhead without changing.
