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 been buying the longer treekie shorts for several years. I've stayed to see the styles of the treekie short change for the better over the years. I was ready to purchase a few pairs for the summer and was so disappointed they the longer shorts are no more. Please bring them back. Thanks!

Thicker fabric than mesh running short. Wish pockets had smaller tooth zippers - big silver teeth scrape hands when using.

I love this years version of the Trekkie short however was disappointed by the lack of colors. Please bring back a Khaki color next season along with the Navy and one other fun pop of color for summer. The length is perfect and I am loving the back pocket design my large phone fits in there just perfect to grab easily. Keep the design the same please for next season a smidge longer might be good 4inch. The waist band is great too. I bought both size 6 and 8 this year and both fit I might prefer the 8 a little looser and more length. I am 5'5 and 147lbs.

The moment I tried these on I knew they were a keeper. Soft and stretchy material, the perfect length, and so comfortable. You can wear casually or dress up a bit. I haven't worn them yet which is an important test, but if that passes, I plan on getting a couple more colors. For reference, I'm 5'4", 111 lbs and purchased size 2.
