"The sizing of these is completely off. I am usually a size L (I bought the Recon Stretch ski pants in the same order, size L, and they fit perfect), but the size L of these is MASSIVE. I'm not just talking a bit baggy, I'm talking SO massive that they won't stay up and when I let go of the waistband they fall down to my ankles. Unwearable."
"Had these for about 8 months and they are going great. The BD logo fell off pretty quick but that’s not a big deal to me. I really like the fit of these shorts, they don’t ride up and I find the material to be really durable. I’ve worn them casually and for climbing and so far I’m a big fan. They’ve kept their shape well so far and show no signs of wear."
"Great all around shorts! I have 4 pair and I love them!"
"I LOVE these shorts. I really love them. I trail run and they are so light and comfy. They don’t have a liner inside which is HUGE for me. Yet they never ride up and show anything. Honestly just buy them. DO IT"
"I purchased a pair over a year ago and loved them so much I decided to get another. They are super comfortable, great quality, and easy care. Perfect for outdoor adventure but also great casual wear. Hands down the best item I packed for travelling abroad this summer."
"Did not feel great in upper hips and looked funky in the crotch region."
"These shorts fit very nicely and the quality is excellent. I won't be wearing them until February and then on a tropical camping trip. . . . I'm sure they will be perfect!"
"Perfect shorts for any activity."
"Very comfy waistband is perfect TN summer. Love climbing and working in these shorts - with the 5inch inseam I don’t have to worry about the high heel hooks! The only thing I would change is the slight pleating on both side, it definitely does not flatter your hips especially if you already have curves. Overall comfort and functionality is a 10/10"
"Great for every activity, I wore them for a week before I finally decided to wear another short so I could wash these…very comfortable and love the material"
