I really love these capris. The fit is perfect and there is an internal drawstring if you need to find tuner little bit. The Pockets are deep enough to be functional and the zippers side leg pockets are great for a variety of things. I love the adjustable gathering on the bottom of the leg. It’s just enough or you can shorten them up a little bit or lengthen them a little bit... Not too much but just enough and it’s very easy to do from within the zippered pocket on the sides of the legs. I where is all the time and if I had anything to say I guess it would be I wish they had different colors! I would probably buy one in every color offered.
These pants were perfect for casual hike in Grand Canyon/Mt Zion on days where it was a little too cool for shorts. Lightweight with plenty of pockets to stay hands free.
These capris are outstanding!! The fabric is light and cool as well as durable. They fit me perfectly although I had to exchange the original order for a smaller size as they seem to be on the large size. They have side pockets along the leg where you can adjust the side length near the knee, as well as put your cell phone when walking. I like this idea of side pockets along the leg for cell phones, rather than on the 'butt' side. There is a pull string to adjust the waist size if needed. Basically, I am more than pleased with this item and would not hesitate to order it again. Highly recommended.
Only just received this pair of Kapri's the other day, so I haven't been able to do more than try them on. I am 5'3", natural waist 28" and hips 40 1/2". I have 2 other pairs of Kuhl pants (Kontra Shorts & Splash Roll-up) both in size 8. Since these both have been fitting rather loose as of the past year or two, I took a chance on a size 6. The fit is PERFECT! The fabric has a definite stretch to it, but these fit before any stretching is necessary. Comfy, easy to move in, and I am looking forward to wearing these this summer.
Was so delighted with the fit, color and fabric that I ordered a second pair in the Stone color! They don't hold wrinkles at all which makes them my favorite capris!
I'm short and curvy and in my 60's. I love these capri's so much! I wish they were offered in more colors, as I would buy more. They stretch well, sit nicely on my hips and they offer a unique gather at the lateral knee what makes the overall length adjustable. Very breathable fabric for the humid heat of the Midwest, yet the fabric is also soft, supple and quiet. Good pockets X4 that nevertheless still allow a nice profile.
Are these short capris or long shorts? I don't know, but I love this length! I'm 6'1" and like how these just cover the knee, or I can roll them up to be just above the knee and they are not bulky. I also love the zipper pockets on the side, which I use for mini wallet and cell phone. The pocket is just BARELY big enough for my cell phone (), but it is a great, secure spot for it. I use the large hand pockets, too, and the rear pockets are a nice size and snap. The fabric is a little stretchy, but lightweight and so far has stood up to rock climbing and hiking. I love the adjustable elastic inside the waistband so I don't need to wear a belt (but the belt loops are functional if you like belts).
These are really comfortable. They're a little loose, but that's how I like them. I've been between a 6 and 8 for a couple years and finally sized up to an 8. The fabric feels a bit sturdier than some other styles, but they don't feel hot or sticky in the high temps and humidity. I've been wearing them multiple times a week since I got them, and I feel like they'll last a long time.
I'm 5'11" with a 34" inseam and it's always hard for me to find shorts long enough, and cropped pants often land on the widest points of my calf making them uncomfortable for movement. These are perfect! They land just below my knees but when I sit they're wide enough at the opening to slide above my knees. High-quality, stretchy but durable fabric. I just realized you can tighten the cinch inside the pockets! I wish they'd come in black or another fun color like orange!
Love these Kuhl Trekr Kapris! So very comfortable, and perfect for hiking, kayaking, or for everyday wear around town. I live in Texas, and these are so breathable they'll be perfect for hotter months. These fit a bit larger than I've experienced with past Kuhl purchases, so you may want to try 1 size down.
