Height: 5'7"
Size Purchased: 10
Used for: Travel, Relaxing, Casual or Every Day, Hiking
These shorts are by far my favorite shorts from the company. The “khaki” color as well as the “bluish” colors are fine. A little hard to match with shirts but so comfy and versatil

Explorer Ripstop Shorts Women’s Regular.
Fits true to size. Length and size 10 were perfect for this 5’2 / 153 lb lady. Wears & washes well. Recommend!

Just wouldn’t do
Weight: 140-150 lbs
Height: 5'1"
Size Purchased: 12
Although I liked the material, the fit was too high waisted for me (I normally like a good fitting mid-rise waist). In addition, the zipper did not stay in place (slipping down).

New favorite shorts!
Weight: 190-200 lbs
Height: 5'3"
Size Purchased: 16
These are the perfect shorts! Just the right amount of stretch to make them comfy, but stiff enough that they keep their shape after wearing them all day. Short enough that they do

So comfy and cute, length and fit just right. 47yo, 145lb, 5'7", size 8 is my usual size and these fit just right. I'd buy another pair in blue if you had it.

Like the look
Like color, so far wear and launder well. Light weight yet feel like they will last a long time, well constructed. Like length as not too short but not too long!

Excellent fit

I love the fit on the Explorer Ripstop shorts. The sizing is generous so may order again one size smaller. The only complaint is that they are pretty short but otherwise they are

Height: 5'4"
Size Purchased: Small
