Women's Aphrodite Water-Repellent Shorts
Product details
Web ID: 16630657Runs small
As a petite woman (size 2), I am consistently pleased to find that a Northface XS always fits perfect. Unfortunately, these shorts run small. They fit tighter and are shorter in rise than shown on the model. I'd size up.

Great multi-purpose short!
I've purchased 3 pairs of these shorts over the past 6 years, and they are my go-to for hiking and backpacking. I am 5'7" 130 lbs, rectangle body shape, and wear a size small for a slightly loose fit. The waistband is a fairly soft, stretchy fabric and is good for wearing with a backpack hip-belt (no buttons/snaps/belt loops to rub). During thru-hikes and long days of wearing a backpack, the ribbed texture of the waistband does rub a little uncomfortably on my hip bones (easily solved with a bit of Leukotape). The water-repellent shorts fabric is very lightweight, breathes well, and packs down well. 4-star rating accounts for sizing inconsistencies between years and colors. This seems to be a problem with many companies that manufacturing products in multiple locations, as may be the case with North Face. Otherwise, I LOVE these shorts!

Great all around shorts
I bought these shorts in the past and loved them so much I wanted more. The new ones I bought felt tighter in the waist band, but then stretched out comfortably.

No go and bad fit
These do NOT run true to size, purchased a small. For reference I'm 5'1" 129#, ended up returning them. The fit is also odd, it "balloons" out.

I love them but they need to keep consistently in the sizing
I love the other 2 pairs of these shorts I bought last year. I purchased the same size medium only much to my dismay that the manufacturer changed the sizing now making the medium more like a small. I measured the waist against each other finding the new pair a full inch and a half in smaller.

I would buy again
So cuteee the only thing I'd say is make then a tad longer because they tend to slide up

Design changes! Sizing off.
I own 5 pair from previous years. I ordered more this year & had to return them. The sizing changed. A medium now fits like a small. They took out the slit on the side & changed zippers. Worse quality

Not worth it!
When I first got the shorts I only wore them to walk around an amusement park and they were fine. Although when I wore them to go hiking I had a backpack on and my backpack rubes the shorts and they started piling.
