Fit Changed from Last Year

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...

Hideous new design highlights your gut!

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...

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.

Comments about Trekkie North Mid Rise 3.5"" Short

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.

Perfect shorts with pockets that zip..

Comments about Trekkie North Mid Rise 3.5"" Short

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!

Must have!

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.

More colors please!

These shorts are very comfortable, flattering and cool. I thought the 3.5" length would be too short but this 55 year old body looks great in them. I'd love to see a khaki, navy and white colors.
