Reviews

Great Shorts

"Very nice shorts. All of the clothes I have purchased had to be returned due to being on the small size. ( attack pants, hoodie, and shorts) The problem with ordering online is not having the ability to try on the product. So instead of ten minutes to try stuff on, it's been 30 days of back and forth in the mail. No fault of Kuiu. Just lack of stores in the Northeast."

— Jeff P. (4/5)

Nice color, durable material

"The Kutana Stretch Woven Shorts are very similar to the Eddie Bauer Guide Pro Shorts, which is a huge positive. The fit is comfortable, and the material seems to handle wear very well. However, the waist runs small. In every other brand of short, I wear a 36; for KUIU, I need to order a size 38."

— Dean W. (5/5)

Awesome Shorts

"These are probably the most comfortable shorts I've ever worn. I love the pockets and the way they're arranged. I like the fact that you have several or should I say many belt loops to hold the shorts in place properly. I have already informed several of my friends and family members about your products. And I've highly encouraged them to purchase"

— Mark F. (5/5)

Wow, great shorts for choring, hiking, mtn biking etc

"Amazing fit/finish, sewing quality, etc etc. I like the idea of the primeflex nylon lasting longer. Fabric just doesn't get dirty, most stuff just falls off of it and they stay looking great. 34 is snug on me but comfortable with no belt needed. I would normally wear a 35 in non stretch pants/shorts."

— Dustin H. (5/5)

Premature Wear After Just Over a Year

"I bought three pairs of Kutana shorts in 2025 at $109 each. After only 13–15 months, all three are wearing in the same front pocket area from normal use with a cell phone. My Gunmetal pair has a large hole, my Ash pair has a smaller hole, and the third is showing the same wear. KUIU denied my warranty claim as “abrasion” and referred me to a paid repair service. For shorts marketed as abrasion resistant, I expected much better durability."

— Craig M. (1/5)

Tough and light

"These are great shorts this is my second pair I have pairs of the switchback too but they can be warm for shorts and not that breathable the kutanas are great comfortable and loving them especially hiking because they offer the same protection from brush as the pants"

— Peter C. (5/5)

Obsessed

"He loves them! Ordering more… in all colors! I swear my husband hasnt gone a day without them since they came! Awesome job Kuiu! Keep it up!"

— Amber H. (5/5)

KUIU Kutana Stretch Woven

"Like these shorts very useful, many pockets, don't know about longevity since they are new, fit is great, comfort is good not great, nice shorts bought another on sale. Can't give 5 stars unless I reviewed this years later, but so far happy with these shorts."

— David F. (4/5)

Great shorts!

"These shorts are great. I am a Physical Education teacher and I do a lot of moving around when I am teaching my students. These shorts are durable and comfortable, I couldn't ask for more."

— Hugo G. (5/5)

Great Value

"Amazing Fit and comfort, ran true to size. These shorts are light and very weather resistant."

— William S. (5/5)
