I agree, they run a little small but they are made well and look great!
Anonymous - 2009-09-30Cool shorts
Appear to be super quality (Patagonia typical). They fit perfectly but I'm slim in the hips so agreed that probably many others would want to order up a size (I didn't). Arrived quickly w/ free ship!

Great board shorts. As most have stated they do run small. Ordering a size up is a good idea. Great service and free shipping. What's not to love.

Anonymous - 2009-07-28Good Product and Service
I agree with the people who think these shorts run a little small. I went with a size larger and they fit well. I like the length and vibrant color (mineral springs). The material is an excellent quality. I had the free shipping service and my order arrived quickly. All-around, a good purchase.

I really like the length of these board shorts, but think that this brand runs small. I'm 108 lbs and normally wear a size 4, but these are kind of tight. I'm definitely going to be ordering another pair, and I'll just order size 6. Great color selection, a must for summertime surf
gayle wenzel - 2009-06-10Return went smoothly
Customer service was great with helping return and reorder different size. Just be aware - If you have a figure, definitely go at least one size up!
Chelsey McNutt - 2009-04-01I really like these shorts
I ordered these in a size 6 because everyone was saying that they ran small. Unfortunately the 6 was too big. They fit just a little big around the waist, (I wear a 27 in jeans) it didn't bother me until I got in the water and it made them float up higher around me and I knew I needed a size smaller. I am waiting on my size 4 to get here to see how they fit. But from the one time that I wore them they seem durable, long lasting and made of good material. I like the fact that they are not super short but not super long in length. Overall I am satisfied with these shorts and am ready for my other ones to get here!
Jeanne Dugle - 2009-03-03Great!
They are really cute. I ordered my size and they were perfect. Can't wait for summer.
Kaitlin Crechriou - 2008-11-23A great deal!
I purchased these in the mineral springs color. After reading some of the reviews I decided to size up because people were saying they were really small. I usually wear a 27' pant, and I sized up to a 10. While they fit really nicely on my waist, they are just a little to big everywhere else. I'm going to go down to an 8 and they should be perfect. The color is great and the length is perfect for someone who wants shorts that are neither too long or too short. Really flattering!

Once I got the size right I have enjoyed these shorts. They are flattering in all the right ways. Its Altrec's wonderful customer service that makes the shorts even better!
Stephanie Gove - 2008-08-08Awesome
Very cute. True to size! Perfect length not too long and not too short. I would recommend!
Anonymous - 2008-07-17Comfortable, flattering fit.
I like these shorts better than the watergirl shorts I bought from Altrec last summer. They have a low cut waist and don't bunch up at the front closure. I usually wear a 2 or 4 petite and the women's 2 fit me perfectly. I wish they came in more colors.
Marky Forrest - 2008-04-14perfect fit for a online order
As a water fitness instructor it's a Y standard to wear shorts with our swimsuits. I have found that it's harder to find a lasting pair of shorts than a swimsuit. This one will hold up to the chlorine and heavy usage over a long period of time in the pool. Great fabric and well made product. Not to mention the good fit.
Diane Miller - 2008-03-28exactly what I wanted
perfect for swim bottoms when I want a bit more covered up. Love the light material and the lace up front.
Jessica - 2009-12-12Great shorts!
I like these shorts! They fit my waist true to size, but they are "slim fit" on the legs. Some people might want to order a size up if they are more of the muscular type. I can still wear them though!
Anonymous - 2009-12-08cute shorts!
These do run a full size small. They are more cute in real life than the picture shows. Comfortable with a touch of stretch. Very nice.
margaret day - 2009-06-25True-er fit than other Patagonia sizing
I wasn't sure about which size to get since typically Patagonia sizing runs a little large on me. These fit true to size. With this in mind when ordering the right size, I'm happy with the cut/fit of the short! They do run on the shorter side for board shorts.
Danita Del Toro - 2008-08-31Adorable!
Love the look. I prefer a little more coverage and the length of these shorts are just right. However, the sizing is very small. I had to order two sizes up from my usual size.
Anonymous - 2008-08-12as promised
got a big butt and big thighs , but a tiny waist? these board shorts are pretty much exactly what you need them to be -- they're not too long, not too short, not too tight, and the back doesn't gap too badly -- totally simple, straightforward board shorts for the over 40 crowd!
Anonymous - 2009-07-23Cute but not for the curvy
I really wanted to like these board shorts. I sized up as suggested and while the butt and leg area were sized right for my curvy body, the waist was far to big. I didn't want to order the next size down as the legs and butt would likely not fit me. Oh well.
gayle wenzel - 2009-06-10Size wayyyyy off
I wear a size 10 and the size 10 I ordered are waaayyy small. I missed where they are described as low rise. They show my crack. Not exactly the look I was going for. I'll let you know how easily they are returned.
Anonymous - 2008-04-06would have loved them if they fit
These board shorts would have been great if the sizing was right. I usually wear a size 6 or 8. I ordered these shorts in a size 10 because I wanted them baggy and I thought they might run small. Well a size 10 is too small! Really tight on the hips uuugh.
K Young - 2009-06-12One size too small
For me they really did run a full size too small - size 12 women's same size as a RipCurl juniors 13!
