Patagonia Baggies Shorts 5″ Black

The Patagonia Baggies™ Shorts 5\” in Black are built as a straightforward warm-weather short for everyday use, travel, and time spent in or around the water. Their design has remained relevant for good reason, combining lightweight durability, quick-drying function, and a compact silhouette that transitions easily between casual wear and more active settings. Whether used for swimming, daily summer wear, or packed as a reliable travel option, they keep the focus on comfort and practical performance.

The shell is made from NetPlus® 100% postconsumer recycled nylon, sourced from recycled fishing nets. This gives the fabric a light, crisp hand feel with the durability needed for repeated use through the season. A DWR finish without added PFAS helps the surface shed light moisture, which adds everyday versatility in changing conditions and improves comfort when moving between dry land and water.

Inside, the shorts are fitted with a quick-drying mesh liner made from 100% recycled polyester. This construction supports airflow and comfort in warm temperatures while making the shorts especially well suited to beach days, swimming, and general waterside use. The 5-inch inseam gives them a shorter, mobile fit that feels easy and functional without looking overly technical.

Storage is simple and well considered. Vertical side pockets are designed to reduce drag in the water, and mesh pocket corners allow drainage to help the shorts dry more efficiently after swimming. At the back, a flap pocket with a low-profile snap closure offers secure space for smaller essentials. The elastic waistband with an internal drawcord keeps the fit adjustable and stable through both everyday wear and movement.

Alongside the functional design, Patagonia keeps the construction considered. The recycled shell and liner materials support a more responsible material choice, and the shorts are made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, where workers received a premium for their labor. Finished in black, they stay understated and easy to pair, making them a dependable option for anyone looking for one pair of shorts that covers swimming, travel, and everyday summer wear.
