I have the pants version of these and was excited to get the shorts! Unfortunately, they're sized extremely differently - they wouldn't even stay up on my hips! My husband's men's version were exactly the same. Bummer, because they seemed great otherwise!

When I looked to exchange them for a smaller size you were sold out. Disappointing!

I love these shorts but the best part about them are the deep pockets!!! Finally, women's shorts/pants with actual pockets.

I have purchased 3 pairs of Cotopaxi shorts. Love them all. They are relaxed fit. The fit is perfect for me, so comfy. I have a pair which I purchased last year. After multiple washings, the color still looks the same. I am amazed with the quality.

Great fit and fabric can't wait to wear for summer hikes

So glad I sized down as people recommended. The medium fits great, cute functional short, great pockets, comfortable!

These are now the go-to short for any outdoor adventure, urban or otherwise. They are comfortable, very true to size, with enough give in the waist as you get them on but also slimming in the thighs. The ripstop fabric is cool, and I love the little accent features.

These are currently my favorite shorts. They are super comfortable, cute, sturdy, and have lots of great pockets. I would say sizing is generous. I ordered my usual size small and they fit more like a medium, though it’s fine and there is a drawstring to help with the fit.

True to size but because of my larger hips the shorts had too much baggage in the front.

These are great, the material is interesting, has structure and yet wearable if that makes sense. I am a L in most shorts but these were huge but not just in waist, felt like I was wearing barrel style short. The length is perfect, just about mid thigh. Love the color. I ordered in a medium and hoping for a little less leg fabric and better fit!

These are great, pull on and go shorts! They are very versatile -- can wear for water sports, hiking, running errands, and just lounging. Super lightweight and I think the ripstop will contribute to durability for a long time. Love the side pocket location (slash are so much more flattering then on-seam pockets), the small zip security pocket, and the back pocket! Thanks for realizing women need pockets, too! Cool added features include the back hook for clipping things on, the button and zip entry/exit, draw cord and the color contrast on those! I ordered a L originally but had to exchange for a medium. I'm in between a 10 and a 12 and normally wear a L but the M fit much better. I have muscular thighs and butt.

I really liked the Salto Ripstop shorts, I ordered them in the light green color. Fabric and color are really nice and lightweight. However the Medium was far too big. I am usually between a 4 or 6, and medium was baggy around the middle. This is different than the Brinco shorts - which medium fit perfectly. I like the Salto shorts and will be ordering them in Small and hopefully they'll fit better!

I find these fit TTS (I usually wear M/8/29 and M fits great). They are a bit relaxed, which I like; the only fit issue is I wish the leg openings were a tad wider, but they do relax with wear. No shrinking after washing! Fabric is really nice- tough but not heavy. These don’t bunch or ride up. Love these!

I purchased these shorts on a great deal and I'm very happy with them. They are lightweight, they have a little bit of stretch, and the fit is fairly TTS. I'm usually a Medium/8 in shorts/pants and the Mediums fit well. My *only* wish is that the legs were cut slightly larger to allow for more muscular thighs. Otherwise the rise is comfortable, the waistband is comfortable, and they don't seem to ride up or bunch at all (my initial impressions after trying them on & walking around in them).

These shorts have an awkward fit, at least for me. The legs are very wide and the waist is also wide. Material is stiff. Would not buy again.
