Patagonia Meridian Board Short SKU: #7484776

from NYC

Comfort and style all in one - I took these Board Shorts with me on my 7 day cruise and used it to go body surfing and ride the jet skis, very comfortable and dries quick.

Great product! Size runs just a tad large but they rest on my hips. Very pleased.

These shorts fit great. They are nice and stretchy. Soft. Functional. Dry fast. I bought size 10 so they would be a little loose, when it's hot out I don't want to be wearing tight shorts. I'm 5'9", 135lbs. wear size 8/9/10 jeans. They are perfect and I want more in other colors, I got black to go with the earthenware suit from Patagonia and it matches great.

The best pair of board shorts I\'ve bought so far! Soft supple material that isn\'t transparent like some other cheaper versions. Sits nicely below the waist with a cut that fits a woman\'s body with hips, not the junior sized version. The 6" inseam is also flattering.

These are comfortable enough to wear all day and perfect for surfing/swimming/general beach lazing.

I love these shorts. They're light and soft as a feather, and you can leave the top open a bit if you like, or tighten it up. The snaps and tie are both strong, so you can wear them tight!

Super cute and comfortable. Form fitting with just enough room to move. Great snaps and dry fast. You won't be disappointed!

Very comfortable and flattering. They do feel like wearing PJ's. Sit perfect on the hip. I'm 5'5 at 133 lbs and ordered size 8. Perfect with a little give and stretch. Even ordered another color.

These are just what I was looking for. I tried 4 other sizes and styles but the difference is the stretch! I went by the other reviews and ordered. They do sit on the hip kinda low, like a board short does. Snaps on the front instead of velcro so the laces dont get stuck on. I'll be wearing these at the pool with my grandkids and I'll feel good about covering the necessities! I will buy another pair!

Great shorts that are thin and very comfortable. Size runs a little small so if you're in doubt order one size larger.

I have to agree with some of the other reviewers - the stretch is AWESOME. They are actually very flattering. I got the black and the length isn't too long and the material is thin and light. I would buy these in every color if I liked the other colors but they just don't appeal to me. Wish they made it in a coral or more of a lighter blue or pink. Even a white would be cool. But I am happy with the black. :)

I really like the length of these pants. Not too long but not too short. They probably will not work for the curvier woman.

These are the best board shorts I have ever worn. They fit perfect and have a little stretch and a handy pocket.

Love these shorts! This is my second pair. Unlike other board shorts I've had, these have a little stretch to them so they move with you. They are super flattering and not too short, not too long.

I agree with the other reviewers and these board shorts are a great length and have a very flattering fit. If you're going for the pink ones (at least what I thought was pink) just know that in person they really look more purple. I was hoping to match them with the black and pink Hurley rash guard and the color is way off. They run pretty true to size as well. I'm a 6 and the 6 works great (I'm 3 months pregnant and because of the draw string I'm hoping they'll last the whole way through).

Love these shorts. Exactly what I was looking for. I wear them for swimming. Not too long or short. Material is forgiving and flexible. Great color as well. Easy to take care of.

I wish these had worked for me. Best fabric of all the board shorts I tried. Best zippered pocket. Seems like they'd be featherweight and dry in a flash. I'm a 25" waist, 35" hip and bought the 2 and 4. The 4 fit better but were still a little too snug in the thigh for my comfort. I'm small waisted but have muscular legs (and no booty). All was well in the waist and hip, just not in the leg. You girls who have long and slender thighs might fair better with these.

As others have said, material is fantastic, really moves with you. The length is just what I wanted, mid-thigh. Great for active water sports.
