I was on the hunt for some really cute swim shorts for my 5 year old and these are perfect. I love that he can wear them as shorts but also can swim in them. He is pretty picky about fabrics being scratchy and even though this fabric isnt super soft he hasnt complained. They are so cute on, I originally ordered small because his 5/6 clothes are get... Read Moreting too small but they were too loose around the waist and a baggies and longer than I wanted (they could've worked because the drawstring tightened them enough), so I did an exchange for the extra small and they are perfect for his slim tall body. I also had amazing customer service for my exchange, they were so helpful making sure I got the new pairs before a vacation I needed them for the next week.
I struggle spending this much on a pair of shorts/swimwear for my 7 year old as he grows like a weed but these are perfect for him to wear all day and go from a pool to playground and back again!
These shorts are really cool and comfortable, they go with everything and can be used as swim trunks witch is super helpful. Im also twelve so this shorts will fit for a while. Overall the shorts are spectacular and I really like them.
I had to order a second pair in a different color for my son because he loved the other pair so much he didnt want to take them off!! Wears them for just about everything. Working out, running, hiking, yoga, swimming, and sleeping. Almost all of his other shorts have been rendered useless by these!
My son lives in these over summer. We spend a lot of time at the lake and he goes from water to sand to running around to the grocery store and all over again and they always look great! He is 7yrs old and has a bubble but and strong thighs and they still fit him comfortably. He normally wears a 8-10 boys. They string tie which is fantastic for him...

I have two sons I purchased the 7 for my taller child and 5 for my shorter son. Best decision! My shorter son would have been swallowed by the 7 but they both wear sz small in the different lengths because they are both about 50 lbs.

These shorts are perfect for casual wear, a day in the mountains, and a day at the lake. Fast drying, comfortable, and very durable. My favorite shorts that I own.

My kiddo always picks these shorts first. They are great for active kids- camping, hiking, biking, play. They stay nice after many washes and somehow dont seem to stain? We hiked in Sedona and I was sure that red dust was going to ruin the shorts, but they are as good as new! I will be happy to hand these down when they are outgrown, they are made ...

This is the 4th pair of these shorts that I have bought for my son- and he just keeps asking for more! Not only do they double as swim trunks whenever he feels the urge to go jump in a creek, but they are extremely durable, never snagging on a branch or rock. Also, these shorts are equipped with deep, stretchy pockets, as well as interior netting t... Read Morehat doesn't pinch. Thank you, Patagonia, for yet another win-win...
So...I have a few pairs of baggies that I live in once the temperature gets north of 60 degrees. My 6 year old son was super pumped when we found a pair for him. He wont take them off!!! I guess the saying The Apple doesnt fall too far from the tree rings true when it comes to Patagonia baggies!
My son is a very sturdy boy, and most shorts for his age are made for tall, slender boys. The 5 inch inseam make these perfect for him because they hit him at the top of the knee. Other shorts, if I find them to fit his waist, they are almost mid calf. For reference, he is 105 lbs. and about 52 tall. We love these!
We have been avid wearers of Patagonia baggies for years and years. My boys have both worn baggies since they were babies because they were indestructible and they were boys. Enough said. So, we were super bummed to receive these baggies and see that the fit has completely changed. My son is lanky and the youth xl were skin tight on him-nowhere nea... Read Morer the fit of all of his old pairs. Im not sure what happened with the make of these,but, sadly we had to return them.
Been buying eh Baggies shorts for the whole family. Lightweight and quick drying. Have had some pairs of baggies for 10 years+ Patagonia quality never disappoints
My 5 year old is tall and thin and finding shorts that don’t just fall off of him is a challenge. These shorts fit perfect with plenty of room to grow. He loves the extra pockets for carrying odds and ends and collecting things from the outdoors.
The elastic in the shorts was not elastic. There was no give or take, it was hard and stiff. With the hard elastic the pull cord was extremely difficult to pull so there wasn't much variations. Actually, the waist was very large and with the non stretching elastic and hard to pull draw cord the shorts were worthless. I returned all three pairs... Read More.
We're sorry you're disappointed with the elastic. Please don't hesitate to contact our [Customer Service](https://www.patagonia.com/customer-service.html) team if you have any questions regarding your return.

Best boys bathing suit
These are the only bathing suit I will buy for my son because everything else I’ve tried wears out. These shorts last for years, swimming in lakes, rivers and the ocean, sitting on rocks and sand, and having all kinds of adventures. Plus they dry fast and are comfortable enough to wear all day. We love them!
My son wears these all day every day in the summer. Swims at the pool with friends and then heads home to hang out, play basketball, ride bikes. They are quick dry and so amazing! He loves them.
Sent them to my 13-yr-old boy at camp. His pictures for 5-day straight from the camp had him wearing those shorts! Quickly became his favorites. Little to no chafing when busy surfing, wakeboarding and hiking, He loves them so I love them! We will be buying more!
These are my son's favorite shorts in terms of style. His first pair was an adult XXS which were really loose on him, so I thought that I would buy him a youth large as that's his "true size". Although he wears a youth large in every other Patagonia item, these were skin tight in a youth large. If you want them to fit the way th... Read Moreat baggies usually do, I recommend sizing up.
