Patagonia's lighter-weight take on the Baggies design — same water-friendly NetPlus construction and PFAS-free DWR as the classic 5" and 7" versions, with a zippered back pocket that the shorts stuff into for travel-ready packability. The amphibious short that disappears into a duffel.
Built from a 4.4-oz 96% NetPlus® postconsumer recycled nylon / 4% spandex plain weave made from recycled fishing nets to help reduce ocean plastic pollution, with a DWR finish made without intentionally added PFAS. Fabric is bluesign® approved.
Standout features:
- NetPlus® recycled nylon / spandex body — quick-drying construction with a touch of stretch
- PFAS-free DWR finish — sheds light moisture without added forever-chemicals
- Elasticized waistband with external drawcord — adjusts cleaner than internal-only versions
- Vertical side pockets with mesh bags — reduce drag in water and drain quickly; right pocket has a small interior pocket for keys
- Zippered back-right pocket — secure storage that doubles as a stuff sack for travel packing
- 6" inseam — splits the difference between athletic and conservative cuts
Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory in Indonesia, meaning the people who built it earned a premium for their labor. NetPlus® construction is part of Patagonia's ongoing effort to reduce ocean-plastic pollution.
Right pick for customers who travel often and want one warm-weather short that packs flat — the stuff-pocket makes this the better choice for carry-on packing, the 6" inseam reads as appropriate across active and casual contexts, and the stretch keeps the construction comfortable across long walking days.
