Great fabric and fit. While the side pockets (cargo like) are great for function - they make the pants a bit to casual for what I wanted (travel pants that can be used for all day sightseeing and dressed up a bit with a nice top for an evening out).
Comfortable slack for casual wear. Very relaxed fit so looks more like sweat pant fit but nicer fabric.
Another fantastic Kuhl pant. My new favorite, 2nd to the Cabo pant. These are a "heavier" lightweight warm weather pant and I love the feel. Extremely comfortable with the elastic waist, which is a great plus for a Senior body that is trying to resist the extra padding that comes with age. Fits perfectly, with the forgiving stretch. Purchased two.
I thought about returning this item (I prefer mid-rise pants...and these are comfortable but high-waisted), but I'm glad I didn't. I am 5'7", 140# and typically wear a size M. I ended up wearing the pants on a difficult hike with a tough rock scramble. While a (new) jacket from another outdoor brand got a hole punctured right through it, these pants held up great. My legs got bruised and scraped, but the pants got NO snags or rips.
What's up with the crotch/rise on these? They pull horizontally across the lower hip in the front, almost as if the pattern on these were made for men. I otherwise like the fabric and length. This is the second pair of Kuhl pants I've tried and both were misfitting in the hip area. Guess this brand isn't made for my super normal waist/hip ratio!
The feel of the fabric is very comfortable. I ordered the green, it’s a very pretty tone, not a bright green. Has a lot of pockets, which makes the fit loose. The most comfortable pants I have. I like the no zipper style. I’m 5’6”, and 150lb. The pants are loose fitting on me, and perfect length.
I love these Trekrs so much I bought a second pair in another color. Last weekend I wore them on an airplane, went straight to meet pals at a hiking trailhead for a walk in the mountains, then after a quick shirt & shoe change, wore them to a casual restaurant that night. They're great!
Fit is all wrong as you describe. I can't recall the last time I was an extra small and I apparently am in your clothes because the small was huge! And the fit was not at all as depicted. And the weight of the fabric was so flimsey.....So they went back. so disappointed

Unfortunately, these pants cause unsightly “camel toe” due to the soft, clinging fabric. Otherwise they’re great - comfortable and fit well in every other way. But they look like they’re tight in the crotch even though they’re comfortable. I returned them.
Liked how they looked, fit around waist, but too short for me in XS as well as too snug for comfortable hiking. My height 5'5", weight 113 lbs. Had to return. Size Small may have fit, but ran out of time to order
