At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Water-based exploration and travel where a packable, quick-drying short is essential for saving space in a carry-on or daypack.
• Summer hiking and gym sessions for individuals who prefer a slimmer, more athletic silhouette than the original Baggies.
• Building a sustainable, nature-conscious wardrobe by opting for NetPlus® materials and Fair Trade Certified™ manufacturing.
• Pairing with technical sun hoodies, organic cotton t-shirts, or lightweight windbreakers for a clean, functional aesthetic.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shorts feature a slim fit, offering a more contoured profile through the seat and thighs compared to the relaxed fit of the 5 inch Baggies.
• The 4.4-oz plain weave fabric provides a crisp, technical handle that sits comfortably against the skin with a subtle stretch for added mobility.
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size for the intended athletic fit, as these shorts are designed to fit true to size.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cold cycle to preserve the technical nylon-elastane blend and the integrity of the water repellent finish.
• Use a mild detergent and avoid the use of bleach, which can damage the recycled polyester mesh and weaken the elastic fibres.
• Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry naturally in a shaded area to maintain the fabric's soft, durable texture.
• Do not iron, as high heat can compromise the synthetic yarns and the specialized DWR coating.
• Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorine to protect the fabric's colour and the zippered hardware.

Our Patagonia Baggies Lights 6" Shorts FAQs
