I work at a garden store and need comfortable shorts with good pockets for my stuff. These tropical weight shorts are a perfect fit that checks all. The boxes!

These shorts have a tiny waist, huge hips, and very long rise. Did not fit me at all. As a 5’2″ woman, I really wish they would make shorts (and pants) with smaller hips and much shorter rises.

First time I ordered a Medium, which usually fits…Nope, too large with weird sides that poked out. Returned those, ordered a small. Nope, too small. So like another customer, I too paid for 2 returns. Very disappointed. Sounds like pretty much everyone has had these same issues. DO NOT ORDER these.

Good fit; good material; good style (almost). These shorts have six pockets, three with zippers, and not one is big enough or secure enough for a cell phone!

Love these shorts! Sizing perfect. Pockets, zippered and not, are way more than I need. Wish there were more colors other than black.

I’ve seen the other reviews, saying the fit was bad. I was worried. But, when my shorts arrived, they fit truly well, just like the picture showed. I wear between size 8- 10. I ordered a medium, and when it arrived, the fit was perfect. Waist, hips, rise– all just right. I was so relieved that the other reviews were not accurate. My shorts fit just right, just like they looked in the picture online.

I did not have any issues with the fit of these shorts. They do run just a little bit large, not a whole size. I usually wear a size 8 which fits me snugly, and I ordered these in Medium. These fit like a 9, not quite a 10– They are roomy and comfortable. Waist has a little room, so I cinched it up a little bit with the included belt. I kept them, they look nice, and the roomier fit makes me look slimmer. Nice longer length.

Liked everything about these hiking shorts–fabric, styling, quality of construction. But another garment that’s way too big for me, and this is the smallest size offered. The hips, thighs, and seat ballooned out like clown pants. Disappointed and frustrated. I’ve been shopping at LLB for 40+ years, because I’ve had a great relationship with the company’s products, customer service, and staff. But it’s getting increasingly difficult to find clothing that consistently fits me.

Another terrible style but with great fabric. The fit is unflattering.

These shorts appeared to be made well in a quality fabric, but the fit was bizarre being both tight and baggy with a long rise in the front and short in the back. The side pockets poked out, even though that area seemed to fit well, and the zippered length of back pockets were weird and inconvenient. Frost Gray is a great color, and I hope to see it again in a different style. These went back for being unwearable. The belt adds little value (i.e., I’d rather choose my own belt). There is no comparison to the superior Comfort Trail shorts.

Great shorts however smallest size was still too big for me.
Karen S –
High quality workmanship but too much material on the sides for the size. I’m 5′ 3″ tall and wear a size 2. The shorts make me look I have fat hips inside. I won’t be wearing these very often like the other pairs I get from L.L. Bean.
Melanie –
I did not like the fit of these at all. I am quite hippy, larger hips and thighs and smaller waist. These shorts just looked weird on me. They did not move naturally with my body, so they were not functional as hiking shorts as I had hoped. I returned them.

Love the fabric and fit of these shorts. I liked them so much that I bought several pairs of the crop pants in the same fabric.

Its tough to find shorts with a longer inseam, for women. So I was hopeful. The cut was unflattering, maybe because it was too large? At any rate, how about more longer shorts (men seem to have longer shorts…)
