Reviews

Great work pants

"Lightweight and comfortable with outstanding stretch capability and no chaffing. Built tough, washes extremely well and has well thought out pockets that are practical. I wear a 32 x 32 but the length is very long. Without boots on, I am walking on the cuffs. With boots, it provides a nice accordion effect to keep material out of your socks when bending or crawling - - and it looks good without being to bunchy."

— Dennis M. (5/5)

Work grade Pants

"I have been wearing them. They are comfortable. And seem to stretch good I had a snag the other day and I pulled some of the material out, but it seemed to go back pretty much in place."

— Russ S. (5/5)

Perfect for street work.

"I’ll be honest. I’m a die hard KUIU fan. Have over 20 pieces of clothing and I’m not much of a review person but these pants are exactly what I’ve been looking for. Better than the Attack, Sierra, and Switchback. They are lightweight and durable. They aren’t too tight in the thighs and seat but still feel fit. I work in specialty unit at a major City Police Department and needed something I could wear when not in uniform yet still on the streets. The reinforced knees and side vents are incredible. The right pocket is perfect for holding “tools” They move really really well in dynamic environments and have been a hit on the team. KUIU, you absolutely crushed it on this one. Gonna need some more colors to come out."

— John E. (5/5)

Wish I could get them

"Wish I could get them in a 32 inseam but they are a very comfortable pant. We will see how they wear over time."

— Rocky B. (5/5)

Solid Pant

"Love the fit and wearability! Have yet to put them to a real test but I can already tell by the design they will hold up nicely"

— Tj S. (5/5)

Too long

"Pants were great quality as usual. I don’t understand why Kuiu only making these pants in 34” inseam too long for me. Had to send back hope they start making all lengths in these."

— Brian G. (3/5)

Really like them use them

"Really like them use them to do construction workand they hold up very well like the side vents for hot days"

— Austin S. (5/5)

Good fit

"The pants are a good fit and very comfortable."

— Chad B. (5/5)

Best Pants for Work Yet

"This is by far the best work pant I have worn. I work in construction and can be hard on my pants. These pants keep me cool and wick moisture really well. They have a ton of stretch in the right places to give me a good range of motion. I liked them so much I ordered another pair."

— Jason D. (5/5)

Excellent work and daily pants

"Excellent work (and daily wear) pants. They are light, cool, and extremely comfortable. I'll never wear jeans in the summer again."

— Paul E. (5/5)

Q&A

I see most other pants come in waist 30 but the smallest here is 32, are the 30s not available or just sold out?
They are not currently offered in size 30, but we would be happy to inform our team that there is interest in them!
Hi there, Would you ever consider making this style pant with a 37” inseam? Thanks for your time.
We have not yet been informed of additional inseam lengths being offered, but we would be happy to inform the team that there is interest!
