Women's Baja Shorts
The verdict
Fit
Likely a relaxed, pull-on-style cut typical of Eddie Bauer's casual shorts — expect true-to-size or slightly loose through the hip.
Quality
Consistent with Eddie Bauer's mainstream casual line — decent everyday construction, not technical or heavyweight.
Price check
At $34.99 this is mid-tier for the category, though the clearance tag suggests the brand itself is discounting it below normal price.
Best for
Someone who wants a low-key, easy casual short for warm days, not performance or outdoor technical use.
Care
Machine wash cold and line dry to help the fabric hold its shape.

What owners report about Eddie Bauer shorts
Long-term owners of Eddie Bauer's technical shorts (Guide/First Ascent, Amphib) report they hold up to years of rugged outdoor use. One hiker's Amphib pair survived off-trail bushwhacking, noting they 'held up to snags and tears, from underbrush and rocks,' and called them 'durably constructed' for the long haul. The nylon-spandex Guide shorts use a Stormrepel DWR finish and a non-stretch, brushed-lining waistband that reviewers say 'stays put really well' through movement. Complaints center on bulk in older cargo-style cuts and small hand-pocket openings, plus scattered reports of flimsier fabric and pocket seams on some other recent-year styles.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently credit the technical fabric and hardware, DWR coatings, YKK zippers, brushed waistbands, for holding up to hard outdoor wear over multiple seasons.
- Watch out for
- Some owners report small, flimsy pocket construction and note quality has felt inconsistent between older and more recent production runs.
- Sizing
- The Guide shorts are described as fitting true to size with a clean, non-baggy cut, though hand-pocket openings run notably small.
