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.

Unfortunately, these were a little disappointing. They are my favorite Short and I own four pairs, but these were not at the same quality. The fabric is thin and they are not as sturdy as the other shorts. I will wear them, but they are a little disappointing. I'm glad they have them in navy now.

I want to love these shorts. I needed to size down from Trekkie North shorts I've purchased in previous years and I forgot that "regular sizes" have a shorter inseam. Could we please get these in a 5" or 6" inseam? It would be much appreciated by this "middle-ager" who prefers not to show it all.

I wish these came in more colors. These have a nice flattering fit. Can be used for workout or casual or dressed up. For reference I'm 5'3 and weigh 116 and ordered size 2.

This is a great fitting short that can be worn casually or dress it up with right accessories. I have worn Athleta clothes for many years, and I am excited that they continue to make good quality and fashionable clothes.

Comfort and fit perfect. Shorter than I expected but that's ok. Would love same style in a little longer leg length and more colors.

These are my favorite shirts! It makes me sad that they are clearly limiting the Trekkie line. No button to deal with, perfect length, very flattering. Wish they would make in more colors…
