Not my fave Patagonia board shorts...

So, these board shorts work, but... They're definitely not my favorites from Patagonia. First of all, they have no stretch at all, unlike some previous Patagonia favorites that have had slightly stretchy fabric and stay comfy all day. In addition, I have to agree with a lot of the other folks out there who are saying these are sized weird for Patagonia gear. I have a pair from a previous season that I thought were just too small... They're a size 8 (my usual size) and are really tight at the fullest part of my hips, but fit fine in the legs and waist. I took the advice of other folks on here and sized up to a 10, and it's the same story! The hip tightness appears to be a universal design flaw, but I suppose if you have a really flat butt they'll work! :s One improvement from past seasons is a new snap closure instead of one tiny circle of velcro like my old pair has.
