Patagonia Men's Shorts
The Baggies and Beyond
Patagonia's Baggies shorts have been a staple of surf and outdoor culture for decades. Made from recycled nylon with a quick-dry mesh lining, they work equally well as a boardshort in the water, a walking short on the coast path and a casual short everywhere else. The fit is relaxed without being shapeless, and they dry fast enough that you can go straight from the water to the pub without anyone noticing.
Shorts That Travel Well
Beyond the Baggies, Patagonia's short range includes more structured outdoor options and hybrid walking shorts. These are all made from recycled materials with the same quality construction, and they pack down small enough to be useful on a surf trip where bag space is limited. A few pairs of Patagonia shorts and you've covered most warm-weather situations.
The Sustainability Argument
Patagonia shorts cost more than their fast-fashion equivalents for a reason. The recycled nylon fabrics, responsible production and Worn Wear programme mean you're buying into a system that's designed to last. The shorts themselves reinforce that: the construction holds up over years and the colours stay true through repeated washing and saltwater exposure.
