If you have ordered our Sendero Shorts before, we updated the sizing slightly on September 1st, 2025. We added space to the hip and thigh areas while keeping the waist the same.

Having run for 15+ years in the go-to Patagonia Striders, I was a little dubious about $29 shorts, and had never used shorts with waistband pockets. But the Sendero is the bomb! Pockets are amazing (hold lots of gels, key, phone, etc with zero bounce), fabric is super light and comfy, fit is dialed, and they even look good! Only bummer now is that I want to buy more but they're out of stock. No wonder! I am super impressed!
These are a Christmas gift. Material feels lightweight and great.

Amazing shorts! Major upgrade to my running gear. Way better than my old, basic, (overpriced) Nike running shorts. I’m 5’9” fluctuate between 165-180 pounds. The large fits well when I’m closer to 180, but loose when I’m lighter. I also got medium and they are snug(not overly) at any weight in that range.
The pockets are somehow very secure even when packed full. The fabric is wonderfully light and breezy. At the price point, they can't be beat. My one wish list: "2-in-1" style with a longer liner to help prevent chafing. Even if you're a 2-in-1 devotee, though, I'd recommend these in a heartbeat!
