Reviews

Best shorts out there

"It’s the best shorts I have by far. I love the fit, flex, and side cargo pocket the best. I have every color and wear them almost everyday. Get a new color and I’ll buy it. I got rid of all my other shorts."

— Tim H. (5/5)

Great Shorts

"These have become my favorite shorts over the last few weeks. All my other Kuiu pants are size 42 and fit perfectly, I had to return the 42 for a 44 in this style."

— Terry L. (5/5)

2 inches inseam too short, not even close to advertised size.

"These are definitely not a 12 inch inseam. It’s more of a 10 inch. Why would you advertise that? Very disappointed. Glad I got these on clearance. Won’t be getting any more or recommending this brand to anyone in the future."

— Allan H. (2/5)

Kuiu Switchback 12" Shorts

"I love the fit and feel of these Switchback shorts. With my most recent order it puts me up to 4 pair of these shorts thats how much I ike them."

— Austin B. (5/5)

Great

"This is my 2nd pair of KUIU shorts. They are the best. I like the knife feature and the pockets are deep enough for a concealed pocket holster. The stain resistance is also a plus."

— William M. (5/5)

"Shorts are the perfect length and lite weight! I will buy the pants now too."

— Gerald Y. (5/5)

Great shorts

"Absolutely love these shorts, the material is just the right mix of tough and clean looking comfortable"

— Steve T. (5/5)

Love the material

"I appreciate the lightweight material these shorts are made of. They are very comfortable with a little bit of stretch, slightly slimmer leg then some men's shorts but not to slim. I ordered one waist size bigger than my normal pants size and they fit perfect. (Like the attack pants) I would definitely recommend them."

— Patrick S. (5/5)

Switchback shorts

"Shorts fit great, look great. Rear pockets are large and feel a little loose for retaining my wallet."

— Jeffrey A. (5/5)
