Customer Reviews KUHL Rydr Pant

I have Kuhl shorts, shirts, hats, and I love them all due to the excellent fit and function of their products. This is my first pair of Kuhl pants. Levis jeans are my religion and it is very hard to get me into any other pants for day to day wear. So far, I am liking the Rydr pants. I wear Levis size 33 x 30 and the fit is always perfect. I ordered the Rydr in 34 x 30 and the fit is also perfect. There is no room for shrinkage however, so I hope they do not. They are nice mid-weight pants, well built for rugged wear. The cut gives you lots of room to move, bend, stretch.... without binding. I must admit that I thought that the Khaki color was going to be a light tan whereas, in fact, the color is actually a light green. I think they look great anyway. They are recommended.

I have now bought 2 of these pants! The first pair were damaged when I laid down my bike. The impressive thickness of the fabric saved my legs from any road rash. I am so comfortable in them that I had to replace them. As pointed out in other reviews the button closure does occasionally open accidentally...really should fix that, but even if they don't I am certain I will buy more of these pants.

Pros: Unique ergonomic design, high quality construction, very comfortable, slim fit, good looking pant. Fits to size, slight shrinking out of the dryer, but material has some give to it. Cons: Mid weight material is noisy like sail cloth when walking and the clever waistband snap tends to pop open easily so I recommend wearing a belt with these pants. I'd buy 'em again.

I like these. My favorite Kuhl product is the Gunslinger pant. Compared to that these are slightly heavier, but more sturdy as well with respect to the material. I'd recommend.

Wonderful pants - great alternative to jeans or khakis. Favorable unsolicited comments from my wife, stepdaughter, and a woman at work so they pass the dork test. More comfortable in the fork, i.e. the crotch, than tight jeans without being baggy. Designed as a technical pant for outdoor activities, they are tough and durable. I have three colors and all fade a bit after several washings, as noted on the tag attached to the pant, but not in a bad way. The result is a good looking pant regardless of how often used. The material in this pant is as heavy as denim so it may not be your first choice in the hottest parts of the summer, but any other time of the year, it's great. (You can grab a pair of Kuhl Jeans, a lighter weight pant also sold by Zappos, for hot climates.)

Great pants, fabric quality is bestever, only bad thing is, When washed the color disapears in bright tracks, no matter how carefull you wash them.

I love these pants - they fit me perfectly, sitting on my hips not too high, not too low. They canvas material is nice and heavy, if that us that what you are after.

What can I say? These pants are super cool (pardon the pun), comfortable and stylish in a low key way and have subtle yet neat features. Plus,you can't beat the Zappos price. I love them. And Zappos.

Initially I thought these were great, but 2 major shortcomings make me wish I'd never bothered. The color fades after the 1st wash, which I gather is intentional, but I don't care for the look. I wish they came that way so you could see before purchasing how they were going to look after washing them. But the biggest issue is the button at the waist. It constantly comes unsnapped. I'm a skinny guy and these pants fit me properly, but almost every time I bend over the snap comes open. It got much worse after the 1st month. I can't believe a pair of pants can't get something so fundamental correct. It's too bad because besides these 2 problems, they're great pants. The snap annoyed me enough to write this review and I'd never buy another pair of Kuhl pants because of it. Look elsewhere.

My husband loves this brand. I ended up purchasing 3 pairs (different styles) & he is comfortable in all of them. Well made. No longer will I be frustrated trying to find him pants (because he won't shop!), I've found the perfect brand!

Beware! These jeans look and feel great. However, the zipper will not stay up for all the tea in China. And that's just where Zappos can send them - back to China.

These have a great fit; the size is accurate. I can really can see and feel the high quality. I will buy more Kuhl pants and products.

I like very much. Very nice pants. Very roomy in thighs. This why I buy them. Feel sturdy.

These are very comfortable pants! They fir true to size. The cell phone pocket works very well. The color is pretty much black, but they seem to fade slightly with use.

I'm an athletic 5 feet 10 inches, weighing 187 pounds. I normally fit in pants that have a 33 or 34 waist in order for the thigh area to fit comfortably while the waist remains somewhat loose. Upon trying these pants at an REI, I tried both the 32 and 34 inch waist and opted for the 34's. A week later, after trying it on at home several times, I decided to return them as the waist and overall fit seemed too large. As soon as I learned that Zappos had a 33 inch version, I ordered two pair. I washed them both and used low heat to dry them. They fit much better as they shrunk a bit but not enough to make them tight. I suspect had I dried them on high heat, they may (and still may) have shrunk even more, but again, not as much as you may think. So far, I'll say you can expect some shrinkage based on how warm the drying method is. But overall, a 33x32 fits me nearly perfect although the length is borderline too long (rather have too long than too short). Sorry about the long rant but felt the need to clarify the shrinking issues. The pants wear incredibly well with time and you'll notice their comfort, quality and ruggedness from the first time you wear them.

I would have never imagined writing a review about pants before owning a pair of the Kuhl Rydr pants, but I cannot praise these enough. I'm an odd size (28 waist by 30 inseam) with a muscular lower-body and a derriere that I typically cannot fit into most 30W pants, let alone 28W. If the Kuhl Rydr were to come in a 28 waist, perhaps I would have tried those first. However, since I'm limited to the 30 waist, that is the pair I tried on. They fit perfectly but, to my surprise, they are also beautifully form-fitting (not too baggy at all!) and allow plenty of room for flexibility and comfort. I have found that the Kuhl Rydr pants can both function as nice office work pants or as durable armor when doing physical labor outside. I now own two with a third on the way. I would highly recommend that you at least seek them out for a fitting at your most convenient outdoor store.

The fit, quality and fabric are fabulous...all my Levis are now in the closet. I bought every color...and wear nothing else now. My girl friend is crazy for these on me.

These pants are incredible. I would wear them everyday if I could.

Kuhl makes great pants. These are no exception. They are very comfortable and the articulated knees and durable construction make them very functional, too. They are made of a heavyweight jean material. My only semblance of a complaint about these pants are that they have worn a bit unevenly, but I suspect that after about a month or two's worth of wear they should even out a lot (much like another pair of Kuhls that I purchased in the past. If you are familiar with some of their other styles then you should know that this model pant has a slimmer, more tapered fit than most of the other Kuhl models. Although the fit is slimmer, they remain true to size as with other Kuhl models.

My husband says these are the most comfortable pants he has ever worn. My only complaint is the too visible Kuhl brand name on the back pocket. Was this really necessary?

I love the Kuhl Rydrs. I saw them at a retail store but they didn't have my size. I found them on Zappos and had them on in less than a week. They were true to size for me and are super comfortable. The more you wash them the better they look.

I ordered the khaki colored pants but when they arrived, they were actually more of a green olive tint. They also fit a bit smaller than their listed size. The waist button also kept popping open, even with a belt on, which was very annoying. The pants did fee very durable and should stand up to some abuse.

I love the Rydr pants! The fit is perfect. They are lighter then jeans, but they feel strong and tough. They give you great freedom of movement with the articulated knees. I recommend them if you ride a motorcycle. They are just right for summer riding, wintertime you will feel the air more then you will with jeans, but not too bad. These are great pants.

I bought these pants for my husband, he loves them. He is a Kuhl guy though, most of his pants are this brand. They fit well and the service from Zappos was great. The only thing I can say is that the graphite does fade quickly.

Kuhl Rydrs are the best pants I have found for casual/ everyday wear. The fit is great and they are incredibly well made! They fit loose but don't look sloppy, and have an athletic look. I am sold on them!
