Good shorts, weird sizing/waist fit.
Just got these shorts and while they are great shorts, the sizing needs some adjustment/updates. The XS fit me perfectly, but was nearly impossible to get the waistband over my hips due to the limited stretch. I sized up to the Small, which I can easily get on, but then they are oversized. Big bummer because the XS was the perfect fit, but not worth the incredible hassle of getting them on/off.

Love!!
I love these shorts!! They’re so cute and light and I wear them often. They are not quite as baggy as they appear in the photos, however. I fit in the small, but the elastic band just barely gets over my hips when I put them on! (I’m 39/40 inch hips, 27 in waist). So I got the medium in this color, which I love, but the waist is way too big while the hips are perfectly baggy. I cinch the waist with the belt for the medium which works and still looks cute, but if you’re curvy at all, be aware!

Beautiful shorts but fit needs work
I'm torn on these. Color (Light Illusion) is beautiful, material is substantial, and the pockets and inseam length are great. Size guide is inaccurate for these shorts and the fit will probably be off for anyone remotely curvy/hourglass figured. I'm 5'7", 158 lbs, 31" waist, 41" hip and typically a size 10/30 in pants. The size Large in these shorts gaps in the waist and fits well (roomy but not too roomy) in the hip/thigh. The Medium fits well in the waist and is too tight everywhere else. I might keep the Large and just cinch them in the waist, but not sure if the bunching material will be annoying. The M has a 15.5" unstretched waist and 22" low hip, while the L has a 17" unstretched waist and 23" hip. This is at odds with Mountain Hardware's size guide, and generally speaking, I really wish retailers would include *garment* measurements for each item instead of body measurement guides (would really cut down on the environmental impact of unnecessary returns and exchanges!). I also noticed both pairs had fraying threads in multiple areas, which I would not expect at this price point (see image). So again, I'm torn! Lots to love but fit and quality control needs work.

Absolutely love these shorts!
These are the cutest hiking shorts. They are comfortable and I love the length on them. I want them in every colour. I hope they make more colours! I usually wear size 2 and the small fit great. A little loose which is how I like them.
