Comments about Kuhl Liberator Convertible Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
The gusseted crotch is not as roomy on these pants as other kuhl pants I own in the same size.

Comments about Kuhl Liberator Convertible Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
Just to preface, I only had these pants for a limited time before returning them -- worn on 2 local day hikes, and a couple trips around town.
Materials and build quality were nice (then again, I didn't exactly but them through the wringer). Lightweight fabric and seemed to breathe well. Pockets were a little shallow for my liking, and cargo pockets are horribly placed (on the front of the thighs vs. the side).
Biggest complaint was the waistband that always seemed to dig into me... just couldn't get comfortable in these.
IMO, there are better pants available. Exchanged these for a pair of prAna Zion pants and couldn't be happier.

Comments about Kuhl Liberator Convertible Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
Nice feel, comfortable, shed water well but wear like wax paper. Seams ripped, seat worn through after 2 Grand Canyon and 1 Sierra backpacking trips, fewer than 20 days total. I wouldn't consider using them for anything but casual, around-town wear.

Comments about Kuhl Liberator Convertible Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
These hiking pants are great. I've essentially replaced almost all of the jeans in my closet with various colors of these. They're a little expensive, but they seem like they'll last forever. Definitely will purchase them again.

Comments about Kuhl Liberator Convertible Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I cannot rate this product because I did not wear them. I returned the two pair I ordered because the inseam of 30 inches which I ordered and shown on the manufacturer's tag was nearly 32 inches.

Comments about Kuhl Liberator Convertible Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I love(ed) this pair of pants for the short time I had them. My wife washed and air dried them after a recent trip to Utah where I wore them 4 out 5 days on the trail. Although they are 77% nylon/23% cotton, that 23% cotton shrunk in length, So much that they were too short for comfort. I'm puzzled by this because my other Kuhl pants never shrink.
I am 5'9" and have a 33" waist. I am not out of shape by any means but Kuhls recent pant designs cater to bodies beyond athletic in my opinion. The 32" waist is way too small/tight, the 34" waist (slightly big) fit well enough with a belt, but was too baggy in the legs. For the record, I have 2 pair of Kuhl pants that are 4 years old (waist size 32, inseam 30) and they fit great.
I like the direction Kuhl is going in construction and design, but they need to do in-between waist sizes (31,33,35, etc.) if I am going purchase their pants in the future.
I recommend this pant for persons with small waists and muscular legs.

Comments about Kuhl Liberator Convertible Pants - Men's 30" Inseam:
I like almost everything about these pants with the exception of the length. I purchased the 30" inseam and I am 5' 8.5", 165lbs. With Tevas on, the pants end up slipping down under the heel of the shoe, causing me to walk on the pants like teenagers like to do. Only I have no plans to purposely wear out my [$] pants. I have to role the pants up a couple of times, but they are not designed for this and I have to keep tending to them. I live in a developing country and am stuck with them (no REI down the street for returns), so I may try to find a seamstress who can adjust the length. Most of these types of pants seems to be made for someone taller than me, say 5' 10" or more. As shorts, no issues. Would recommend to a friend as long as they are taller. NOTE: with regular shoes this does not seem to be a problem. Wish they came with another snap at the bottom to tighten them up a bit more for when wearing Tevas.
