great hiking shorts. They move with you. Love them!

Love Them!!

These are such cute shorts. I love the length and the colors. I loved them so much that I bought another pair!

My Wife’s Cotopaxi Shorts Almost Caused A Family Fued!

When our daughter came to visit for a hiking trip in Colorado, she borrowed them for the trails—and instantly fell in love. She raved about how lightweight, breathable, and comfortable they were for climbing and scrambling. By the end of the trip, she was genuinely upset that we wouldn’t hand them over. 😅 Now we joke that these shorts aren’t just durable—they’re coveted. If Cotopaxi made a family pack of them, we’d buy three just to keep the peace. Best hiking shorts ever!”

Love

Well made. Comfortable, does not bunch up on thighs, recommend!

My New Favorite Shorts!

Not only are they super cute, but they fit great. The length is perfect and the waistband is very comfortable.

Perfect For Mom!

These shorts are a great length and perfect running around chasing children while also staying cool and comfy

So comfy, fit true to size and a great length for my taller friends!

I've Been Wanting To Purchase

I've been wanting to purchase these shorts but was hesitant because of the price. They went on sale so I bought two pairs. I was looking for a short that I could run in and also wear around. I got the brick and green colors this week. I wore one pair for a run yesterday and they are great. The shorts did not ride up my thighs as high or as much as other running shorts marketed to avoid this issue. It was so minimal that during a 4 mile run, I had to pull them down maybe 3 times. If I'm honest, the shorts didn't even ride up that much, maybe just an inch (if even). My inner thighs didn't rub against each other so I think the minor adjustments I made during the run were really just out of habit since I frequently experience this with all my other running shorts, which I hate. I wore the second pair on a 4 mile walk today and they didn't ride up at all so I didn't have to pull them down for the entire walk (this happens with my other running shorts a lot even when I just walk). The fabric is great. It's soft, not too thin, and not too thick. I also appreciate that these don't have the underwear liner like many others. The pockets are deep enough that my phone doesn't fall out when I walk and keys stayed in the pocket during my run. I would love the same exact short with zipper pockets! I really appreciate that these are UPF and relaxed fit!!! Overall, I really like these shorts and I'm glad I got them during the sale. I like them so much I got the foam one today so I hope it's not see through since it is much lighter than the brick and green ones I bought, which are not see through at all.

The Shorts Are Awesome

I’m always drawn to Cotopaxi because of their fun color schemes, but as a fairly new buyer I’ve also been impressed by the quality of the items. These shorts are no exception. I found sizing to be accurate - 5’4” 171 lbs and I bought them in a Large to have a little breathing room, which they do without looking big. They look and feel just right.

Another Solid Cotopaxi Product!

I've been very satisfied with every Cotopaxi product I've invested in, and so I finally decided to give the Brinco Short a go despite some hesitation around the price point. That said, the Brinco Short is a notable leap in quality from other outdoor clothing brand shorts I've purchased. They're solidly constructed, yet I don't experience any limitations with mobility as they have a little stretch in them, and I love that! I am a size S in most brands, so I defaulted to ordering that for the Brinco. I ended up switching out for a size XS and making the exchange for a new pair was an easy and expedient process! I am still noting the Brinco is true to size because its cut, in my experience, was accurate according to Cotopaxi's size chart.

Shorts Shorts Shorts

These are perfect shorts! I bought them for a trip to Australia and I can’t wait to use them!

Cute And Comfy

I saw these at a local store while visiting Yosemite, but they didn’t have my size. I decided to order them online when I got home and I’m so glad I did! They’re so cute and comfortable. The wick away water and dry very easily. I love the fit and how flattering they look bc yes, I’m a boujee outdoorsy girl lol!

All Around Great Shorts

I love these shorts. I’m 5’5 and 118 pounds with muscular thighs. I could have sized down and they would have looked better but if you make them high waisted they are really cute and very comfortable!
