Shadow color material appears substandard
*Shadow color in Kuhl Spire pants also greatly discounted. THERE IS A REASON! So disappointed in Kuhl for not just pulling these from sale instead of trying to get rid of them by deep discount. The Shadow color material appears faulty. I love Kuhl brand so benefit of a doubt, maybe it was just some of the Shadow batch of material but still... I always wash new clothes before wearing and these ripped before I could even wear them once. I washed several other clothes at the same time and none of them had anything wrong so I know there wasn't anything in the washing machine that caused this. I don't know if the tear was there before I washed them(brand new out of the bag) as it is in the back. But either way...not up to usual Khul standards. Probably why this is the only color offered at the discount. :(
Slimming and comfortable
This is my first pair of Kuhl shorts. Very happy with the fit and features. They wash well and always look neat. Zippered pockets are great for keeping items secure in the city or on the trail. I give them 4 stars because they have an internal drawstring that can make the zipper poke out a little. But it’s great for tightening the the waist after a few hours. the top snap needs special attention to close. I’m 5’7” 150# and bought the 12 to have a roomier fit for hot weather.
Shorts in Soft, light cotton blend & zip pockets
These shorts have a wonderful fit and feel very soft. I'm a difficult fit with larger hips and small waist; with some stretch (not binding), and drawstring waist they adjust in fit. The pockets are GREAT; zips on both hand pockets and thigh pockets. My iPhone 8 fits easily in the thigh pocket, and zips closed, with an apple rubber case (not a large case). Phone can slide into the back pocket, but it hangs out too much for my comfort. Product label says this fabric will dry faster than normal cotton, in addition to stretch, performance wear, etc; I haven't tested the drying factor yet! Also bought the Spire Roll-Up Pant (same fabric, same great fit). The green "pine" color is really a soft green -- not as brown as it looks online. Adding photo but not sure it does the color justice.
Comfortable for all kinds of activities
I really like these shorts! The length is great for all kinds of activities - hiking, walking around town, and they're even long enough to wear to work and still feel modest/appropriate. They aren't the most flattering shorts for a woman's body, but they're really comfortable and I love the color (mine are the "lagoon" blue). I like the side pockets (super soft and stretchy inside) and the zipper pockets, but the back pockets are too small to feel secure to put anything other than a post-it in.
Too much material
I wanted to love these shorts, they are super cute on and comfortable. But after doing a few 2-3 hour hikes, the extra material on the inside of the legs was really bothering me. Also, there was so much give in the fabric that after several miles they had stretched out so much I needed a belt (which I don't lIke to wear when backbacking) for or constantly hitching them up.
perfect shorts!
Love Kuhl products and these shorts are perfect - the fabric is mostly cotton with some stretch, light-weight but still sturdy. A little less "engineered" than a lot of Kuhl shorts - not so many zippers and snaps and bulky pockets on the thighs. Got two colors and wish there were more. Caution: this style runs a little small. All my other Kuhl shorts are 4s, in these I got a 6 and they fit exactly like my 4s.
Perfect fit
This was a perfect fit although I had to go one size up from my usual size. Has high enough waist line to fit my body. Comfortable and good pockets.
Pockets in the Right Place
Super comfy, all pockets zip (creating both a flattering line and security), and the one on the lower hip is perfect for a cell or wallet. You have to make sure the snap closes (it requires *firm* pressure), but that means it doesn't come undone. Altogether wonderful
These Kuhl shorts are cool!
Comfortable, breathable, good pocket placement. The drawn string waist isn’t normally a feature I care for, but the waistband isn’t elastic. I hate elastic waistbands. The fabric breathes. I have walked many miles on very hot, humid days and these shorts are a revelation. No chafing. No sweaty anything. Nice trim fit, for my size 0 frame. They launder well, they travel well.
These shorts are great!
I bought a pair of the gray shorts. They are very comfy and have lots of useful pockets. I especially love the the two zipper pockets on the back side of the legs. Perfect for my phone or car keys or other larger things that I prefer to not carry in my front pockets. I went and got another pair today in another color!
