Nice, but like the previous model better.
Anonymous4 months ago
Nice pants. The pockets on the previous model were more conducive to travel. The previous model had two pockets together on the front of each leg, on one side a zippered pocket (nice for safely stashing the passport) inside of a snap closure pocket. This model has one larger pocket on the front each leg. The zipper on the back pocket is a nice addition, but there is only one.

Redesign destroys a formerly great product
DanS4 months ago
What a disappointment. The prior Renegade Convertible design is the best pants I've ever used. In the new design there are no side leg zippers; you'll have to take your boots off to convert to shorts. The old design had a secure phone pouch inside an outer pocket that snaps shut, securing your phone from loss: now there are two open pockets in the back (harder to reach) with no security. I used to think Kuhl products were designed by people experienced in the backcountry, but it's clear they don't test in the kind of terrain I hike where a dropped phone may be unretrievable. There are two very large zipped cargo pockets in front but the phone will flop around in them. There's a pocket high in the back with a zipper that a phone fits, but it will be under your backpack's hip belt, and if you are not wearing a pack will take the brunt of a fall that puts you on your butt. If anyone knows of someone with last year's design in stock please communicate where we can find them! Otherwise I'll be using them until they wear out.

Great lightweight convertible hiking pants
2 weeks ago
I purchased 2 pairs of these pants for a 10 day backcountry hiking trip to Yellowstone National Park. due to summer weather and snow during elevation gains while hiking. These pants functioned great in the mountains and were extremely comfortable. I loved them so much that I ordered a third pair upon my return. Sizing was perfect.

Why did convertibles become so un-Kuhl?
2 months ago
Somewhere along the way, convertible pants became uncool. People would rather take off their boots takeoff their pants and change into shorts or vice versa rather than quickly and easily take off the pant legs. For a while, it seemed like Kuhl resisted the pressure. My Liberator stealth convertibles are the best hiking pants I ever owned. I still wear them every hike. The stealth zipper was classy and easy. The fabric was awesome. And kuhl always has a decent phone pocket, which many other hiking pants don’t. Bring back those pants! Or at least put ankle zippers on the new ones! And get rid of those ugly front zippers. They should look like pants.

I added a left back pocket
1 month ago
3 stars because there was no left back pocket. So, I took the pants to a tailor and had them add a left back zipper pocket. The rubberized zippers across the front take two hands as you have to hold the rubber out of the way. And large items hit your knees as they are mounted in front instead of the traditional cargo pocket side mounting. These are well made pants. But, older Kuhl convertibles were great.

Bad zippers
3 months ago
I bought these pants for travel. My first trip with them was the Azores. I needed them to be quick dry, so I could wash them out and dry overnight. And I needed them to have zippered pockets, to protect my travel documents. The pockets were a total failure because the zippers jam. They did this on both pockets on both pairs of pants. They did it for four weeks in the Azores, getting worse each day. They did it in passport control, when I was trying to get my passport out. I'm returning them.

I wear the previous version of these pants every day and I will not be buying this version. The black zippers give these pants a terrible look that makes them stand out too much. I want my pants to look like regular pants. And the new pocket design is awful for the normal things I use them for: phone, wallet, keys, etc. What's the point of pants that are so impractical?

Very disapointed in the redesign.

Wow. Kuhl ruined these convertible pants. First they removed the zippers at the bottom so you could slip them over boots without taking the boots off. Woxn't be as easy to slip off the bottom legs on the trail now. Pocket placements also seems suspect compared to the old version.

Good, but not as great as the original Renegade.
3 days ago
I have several pairs of the original. I really like the fabric and the overall durability of the pants. I don’t like that they removed one of the back pockets (left side). I also don’t like that the zippers were removed on the pant legs. The zippers made it possible to convert to shorts even when wearing larger shoes (like boots).

They ruin the design, the previous design was awesome. Use the new material and go back to the old design.
