Slimmer, lighter, and more versatile than the originals—these are a refined take on a Patagonia classic, made for warm days on trail and water alike.
Patagonia says:
Amphibious for life, the Baggies™ Lights are built to last with quick-drying 96% NetPlus® postconsumer recycled nylon made from recycled fishing nets to help reduce ocean plastic pollution/4% spandex; with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish that's made without perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs/PFAS). Inseam length is 6". Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
Our Verdict
At 193g (medium), the Baggies Lights Shorts keep the familiar easygoing feel but with a trimmer silhouette and lighter build. The recycled nylon fabric quickly dries, holds its shape well even when wet, and feels soft enough for all-day wear. I’ve found them ideal for hiking, breathable enough for climbs, and the mesh-lined pockets aid in ventilation.
The 6-inch inseam is a good length for mobility, and the elastic waistband with an external drawcord provides a secure fit without fuss.
