Patagonia | Swim Trunks | Men's Baggies Shorts - 5 in.

Brief Description

The Patagonia M's Baggies Shorts - 5 in. are probably Patagonia's most iconic shorts. They've been in the catalog for decades because they do one thing very well: they work in and out of the water without you having to think about it. Made with NetPlus® recycled nylon from discarded fishing nets, with a quick-drying mesh lining and a PFAS-free water-repellent finish. You put them on to go to the beach in Cala Deià, then go up to Deià village for a drink, and continue your day without changing. It's that easy.

Key Features

• NetPlus® fabric from recycled fishing nets: the body is 4.9-oz 100% postconsumer recycled nylon faille, made from fishing nets recovered from the ocean. Every pair of Baggies helps reduce marine plastic pollution.
• PFAS-free DWR finish: durable water-repellent treatment made without intentionally added perfluorinated chemicals. Water beads up on the fabric and it dries quickly.
• Quick-drying mesh lining: 100% recycled polyester mesh that allows you to use Baggies as swimwear without needing to wear anything underneath.
• Elastic waistband with internal drawstring: comfortable and customizable fit. Easy to put on and take off in a second.
• Vertical side pockets with drain corners: pockets are oriented vertically to reduce drag in the water, and mesh corners allow water to drain and dry without accumulating moisture.
• Right rear pocket with flap and snap button: secure, low-profile closure to store keys or a wallet when you go into the water.
• 5" (12.7 cm) inseam length: the classic Baggies cut, neither too short nor too long.
• bluesign® certified: the body fabrics are approved under the bluesign® standard.
• Fair Trade Certified™: made in a factory where workers receive an additional premium for their labor.

Why choose these swim shorts?

• The shorts that do it all: Baggies are not just swim shorts. They are the shorts you put on in the morning and wear all day: beach, walk, terrace, supermarket. They dry so fast that you go from water to street without waiting.
• A Patagonia icon for a reason: they've been in the catalog for decades because they work. No trick: they are comfortable, last for years, dry quickly, and look good. That's why they have become a classic.
• Fishing nets turned into shorts: NetPlus® fabric is recycled nylon from fishing nets that would otherwise pollute the ocean. It's one of Patagonia's most powerful sustainability stories, and you're wearing it.
• Uniquely lightweight: at 204 g, they weigh less than a T-shirt. They roll up, fit in any bag, and take up hardly any space.
• Eight colors and prints this season: from classic Black w/Black to the most striking prints like Shelly Shelly: Mellow Melon or Jaguar Geo: Dolomite Blue. There's something for every style.
