Customer Reviews KUHL Rydr Pant

I really want to love these pants and they are comfy, have cool reverse stitching, and they seem pretty durable. However, the sizing is a bit screwy. The 32" inseam seems much longer than any other pants I have, but the 30" was too high-water. The fabric faded pretty severely after one washing, but I do like that look, so no real problems there. I've had great luck with Kuhl Shorts and tops, but the lengths on the pants are hard to figure. I had similar problems with the Kuhl Jean (too long/too short) so I had to return them. Yay Zappos return policy. One more thing: the fabric is pretty heavy and makes a 'zipping' sound when you walk. I imagine these will soften up after many more washes. I hope so. One last thing, I suggest everyone look at the close ups of the rear, because I think the branding is just a bit obnoxious, because of it's size.

Nice pants. Great alternative to blue jeans. I just got this pair so I'm not sure how well they will hold up but other 'Craig' series pants I own have worn in beautifully.

As another reviewer stated "I like these pants" and I have a 31" waist and sized up to 32" and that worked out perfect for me also. I am 32 x 32 and the length was perfect. I have not washed them yet, so cannot comment on the fading comments other mention. I wore them on a recent ski trip and they were very comfortable during the flight and my wife likes their look (I had the graphite) - they are easily wearable for casual nights outs, etc. Due to the extreme comfort, I even choose these over my old favorite Spotter pants for my casual office environment. I'll be ordering some other colors to try out and may even order another graphite pair. I'd give them 5 stars if the cold wind did not pass through them more than any other pair of pants I own and maybe deeper pockets. Pros: sturdy and well-built, suited for both outdoor activities and casual affairs like the belt snap. Neutral: They are baggy, but they are supposed to be for climbing. Cons: do not block the cold even as well as blue jeans the fabric does make "noise" walking, but nothing that's too distracting, just not like blue jeans; front pockets aren't as deep as I'd like

These are rad pants in many respects. They fit great, have pockets in convenient locations, and are super comfortable. Two major drawbacks, though: (1) The length is WAY too long. I usually wear a 31 length. I bought the 30. It's at least two inches too long. (2) After ONE wash, they began to seriously FADE--and only in places, so they basically look stonewashed. It doesn't look bad, but I was hoping to use these as my "khakis" for work, which I can't really do now.

Super comfy! Rugged! Full gusset allows awesome flexibility! They are 3 season pants. Too thick for summer heat, but great in the cold.

I like these pants. They are sturdy and well-built, and are suited for outdoor activities and casual affairs. But, there are some things to know: 1) They are baggy. Too baggy, I think. I know this is for range of motion for activity, but they don't need so much extra fabric throughout the entire length. 2) They are thick material. They almost "bend" rather than fold. They look bulkier because of this.Other than that, they are nice. They fit perfectly in the waist and groin area, and I like the styling. If you are between sizes, size up. 32 fits me, and I usually wear 31's in most other brands. Also, they do shrink a bit after each wash the first few times. This is fine for me, since they are plenty roomy.

I'm rather disappointed with these pants. While Kuhl makes a big fuss over being born in the mountains of Utah, these pants are made in China. The fabric is way to stiff. The cell phone pocket is too far back and ends up being under my leg when I sit down. The pants lost an inch in length after three washes. The Kuhl name just covers these pants, on all buttons, other fasteners, the front and back pockets. They should pay me as a walking billboard. I would not buy these pants again knowing what I know now.
