As other reviewers have mentioned, Athleta changed the cut of these shorts so that they are slimmer. The last few years, I was a size 4 in these, which was TTS for me and a perfect fit. However, this year the size 4 is way too small. Tried on a sz 6 and 8 in stores when I went to exchange, and the 6... fit better in the waist but the front pulled really oddly across the crotch area, and the legs were completely fitted to my larger thighs. The sz 8 had a better thigh fit, tho the waist band is a bit looser. Since it has the built-in drawstring, I went with the 8 so that I didn't have to worry about thigh chaffing in the summer. But to get a fit like the Coastline Blue has on the smaller of the 2 models int he photos above, I would've had to size up to a 10! The 6 fit more like the model in the Swallowtail Blue images, but the front pulled really wierdly across the front for me (I have a feeling they retouched this out, since I know they did this on the Brooklyn Pant marketing images when they accidentally posted the retouched image and the unretouched image one after the other in their stories...oops). I don't get why we needed a slimmer fit in this style, these are made for hiking and climbing, we NEED a bit more leg room to move around! Please bring back last years fit!
Trekkie North Shorts have been, for years, a staple in my closet. I love the quick dry fabric, the comfortable waistband, and the versatility of being able to dress them up or down. Unfortunately, as of Spring 2023, the design has changed - and not for the better. The entire waistband used to be a k...nit elastic fabric. In this iteration, they have brought the fabric up into the middle of the waistband and created a mock zipper. Only thing is, It gives you an INSTANT gut. It doesn't matter if you have a gut or not, these shorts will make one for you! I'm returning these because I like to look decent in my clothing. Please bring back the old styling.

I have these shorts in 3 different colors. I would buy more if they were available. Very easy to throw on for a hike or walk or just around the house. Fit TTS.

I've bought these shorts throughout the years and this season's change is the BEST! I especially love the waistband. Finally no zipper, no button. Love ALL 4 pockets! Appreciate how the front pockets have zippers. Sadly they're out of stock otherwise I would Have purchased an additional pair they are that great. So universal. I can Wear them on walks, out to lunch, traveling.

I like the light and non-snaggable fabric, its water resistance, and the comfort of the wasteband. I also appreciate that the leg openings don't flair out and that the length of the shorts does not result in unexpected "exposure". I liked the first pair enough that I quickly bought a second.

I love these shorts. They are the lower 1/2 of my summer uniform😂. I love them so much that I bought three pairs. I do have to agree with one reviewer who said that the metal zippers on the front pockets are uncomfortable sliding your hands in and out. No worries though because I just use the two back pockets. I do wish there were other colors-all three pairs of mine are black. Please make navy and beige!

Super cute… can be casual and can be dressed up! The pockets are great as I'm always needed to house my phone somewhere on busy days. Material is light yet a bit fancy. They are cool and unrestricted while at the same time fitted and flattering.
