PATAGONIA BAGGIES™ LIGHTS 6" | QUICK-DRY SHORTS

PATAGONIA BAGGIES™ LIGHTS 6": THE SHORTS THAT GO WHERE YOU GO

From the water to the mountains, from the beach to the trail. Patagonia's Baggies™ Lights are the shorts you're wearing before you've even decided what you're doing today. Lightweight, quick, hassle-free—and without a single compromise to the planet.

WHY BAGGIES™ LIGHTS ARE DIFFERENT

Most shorts force you to choose: they're either good in the water or comfortable on land. Baggies™ Lights are neither. Their unlined design makes them lighter and freer than the standard Baggies, while the ultralight, quick-drying technical nylon fabric makes them equally valid companions for a dip at the beach, a hiking trail, or a day running errands in the city.

In short, they are the shorts you don't have to think about.

CORE SURFING TEAM TIP

"The Baggies™ Lights are our number one recommendation for anyone looking for a versatile, no-fuss short. The slim cut sets them apart from the classic Baggies—cleaner, more contemporary—and the zippered back pocket is a plus for water sessions or travel when you don't want to worry about a thing. If you're torn between the Lights version and the standard Baggies: if you value lightness and freedom of movement above all else, go for the Lights without a second thought."

PATAGONIA GUARANTEE · "WE'RE IN BUSINESS TO SAVE OUR HOME PLANET"

Patagonia has spent decades building a philosophy where lasting quality, minimizing impact, and conscious consumption are the pillars of every product decision. Founded in 1973 by Yvon Chouinard, the brand has proven that being profitable and being responsible are not opposing goals: more than 90% of their products are made with recycled or responsibly sourced materials.

The Baggies™ Lights are a direct example of that philosophy: made with NetPlus® nylon from recycled fishing nets to reduce ocean plastic pollution, with a PFAS-free DWR finish, and sewn in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory. Patagonia works with more than 20 Fair Trade factories that guarantee living wages within the supply chain, and is also a member of the 1% for the Planet program, donating a portion of its profits to environmental protection.

Buying Patagonia isn't just choosing quality. It’s voting for how you want things to be done.

USE AND CARE

In the water, out of the water, or when you haven't decided yet. They are equally valid for surfing, paddleboarding, hiking, travel, beach days, or simply being comfortable in the summer.

Machine wash cold · Do not bleach · Tumble dry low · Do not iron · To keep the DWR finish active, it is recommended to wash infrequently and tumble dry occasionally to reactivate water repellency.

SIZE GUIDE

The cut is slim fit: more tailored than the classic Baggies. If you have any doubts, consult the Patagonia size chart or size up for a looser fit. The elastic waistband with a drawstring offers additional adjustment room.
