New favorite shorts
"I truly adore these shorts! So versatile, they fit great, and are an awesome material. They’re my new favorite!"

Wanted to love, but tight in the waist
"Pockets- awesome & deep, length- perfect, colors- so cute, fabric- great stretch…BUT they ride up in the middle when you walk & the waist is too tight for how the rest of the shorts fit. Would maybe be good for someone with a smaller waist & strong legs/rear? But I feel like these could be a little bigger since there’s a draw string to cinch… Got a L online (my usual size) & went to the local Topo store to try on an XL but those were way too big everywhere except the waist was still tight-ish. Maybe it’s just not meant for my figure? So cute in the ads! Less functional (fit wise) irl. Got the Ember & black and they fit the same, but colors were great in person."

On the small side
"The design is cute and functional, but I was disappointed in the sizing and fit. I have several pairs of dirt pants in size S and they fit perfectly- loose but flattering. I bought two pairs of these mesa shorts in S and they are tight around the waist and around the leg, making them uncomfortable. I'd exchange for a medium but the orange is sold out in that size. I'm sad, I had high hopes for these. Not sure if I'll keep or return yet."

Quality
"I usually wear a 28/ size 6 bottom and I ordered the mediums, and they have the perfect amount of room. The blue color is really nice in person, neutral and go with everything. I appreciate the small details on these shorts that give them a bit of interest and they look just as good on the trails as they do around town."

Hyper-Fixated
"Since getting my new Mesa shorts, I have literally worn them nonstop. They are so incredibly comfortable and are great for individuals like me who are often on the go. The material makes it great for outdoor adventures and the multiple pockets are practical for stashing items when you need hands-free mobility. They are literally the best!"
