Reviews

they are comfortable. however, they

"they are comfortable. however, they need to be longer. your Tiburon pants are available up to 37". I'll admit I wear the Tiburon pants to work more than the work pants because they don't ride up over the top of my boots (4" lace up work boot). I like the pockets on the work pant; they are very functional. also, the work pant shrank so they look like skinny jeans on me now. not a fan of that."

Best work pant

"Most comfortable work pants I’ve ever worn. I’m 6’1” 195-200 pounds usually Right around 33” wast and i got the 34 and they fit good. Just a little loose but not falling of and I usually where a belt anyways."

— Max J. (5/5)

Work pants

"love these work pants…. especially for warmer weather. Great stretch and wears well. Great all around pant for just comfort and casual wear. My only complaint…. as with all Kuiu pants and shorts are the pocket depths. I use the back pocket to carry my cell phone. Not deep enough for that item. Front pockets need to be a little deeper to prevent loss of loose items. All and all great pants."

— John O. (5/5)

Work pants ??

"These pants have the potential of being top notch and an all around go to with a few minor adjustments. The main thing is lack of belt loops. Kuiu pants and shorts traditionally have 8 loops this works tremendously well. However for whatever reason Kuiu has decided to go to 5 belt loops on these work pants and that does not work well. Needs to be corrwcted."

Great pants.

"Got these for use around the house and yard. Great pant fit well and tough. love the pockets for tools."

— Michael P. (5/5)

Fits great and are comfortable.

"Fits great and are comfortable. I ordered a second pair because i like them so much. The only issue i have with them is that brush will snag them and pull threads out but i haven't gotten any holes in the pants yet."

— Mike B. (4/5)

Great construction

"Pants feel capable and durable without being too bulky or thick. Even though it's been quite hot the vents on the side make a significant difference and the pockets are very useful."

— Lawrence S. (5/5)

Pants material and fit are

"Pants material and fit are great. Super breathable. Little tight in the legs."

— Evan P. (4/5)

Awesome Work Pant

"Fits great, true to size. Pockets are dialed. Side vents are a neat feature and inspire confidence in hot weather. The reinformed pocket for a tape measure clip is one of my favorite features. Great all-purpose pant as well. For the tradesman, the pockets, ruggedness, stretch, and warm weather weight is awesome. I am 6' tall with a 32" inseam, and weigh between 190 and 200 lbs. The size 36 waste is perfect for me with this pant. The extra waste space is key for moveability, and I need to wear a belt anyway. I have space to tuck in a shirt."

— Paul W. (5/5)

Highly recommend

"Been serving since 2003 and then pmc/psc contracting since retiring. These pants are awesome, extremely comfortable, vent heat while not attracting heat, the crotch is comfy and you can actually piss (unlike the crye’s), the pockets are perfect for small item distro. . think shears, knife, light, extra mag. . etc. . add some boot hooks/cuff bungee tightening and they’d be even better!"

Q&A

My husband would love to try these pants, but he needs at least 36” length. My son is 6’’6” and also needs longer lengths. Our tall guys would be great customers if your hunting gear was available in Tall sizes. Thank you!
We have not yet been informed of additional inseam lengths coming out, but we would be happy to notify the development team that there is interest!
Would love to see more of your pants in a 37-38" inseam, also some tall sized jackets/tops. I'm 6'7 205lbs and to find good hunting gear with long legs and long arms is a scarcity! I own a pair of 34" long Attack pants and love the fit so would love to try the other styles you offer.
We would be happy to pass your feedback along to the development team!
I need size 30..
We would be happy to pass your feedback along to our development team!
Will you be making this in a short inseam?
We have not yet been informed of additional inseam lengths coming out, but we would be happy to inform the development team that there is interest!
Make these pants in a 30X32 and I'll buy some
We appreciate the feedback and would be happy to pass this along to our development team!
Why are the inseams so long on the work pants?
They are offered in a 34" inseam which is our regular inseam length for pants. We would be happy to notify the team that there is interest in additional lengths!
