Reviews

Expensive but nice

"Love the fit, very comfortable. I would never buy them at full price but it was worth the purchase when it was on sale. The sizing is also off, they run very small, order the next waist size up from what you normally wear."

— Ron L. (5/5)

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)

I live in my switchback shorts

"The best shorts I own and I’ll be sure to replace my shorts with more of them."

— Keith D. (5/5)

My new favorite shorts

"The material is lightweight and stronger than expected. I have thick thighs and the shorts fit well."

— Jacob M. (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

— 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)
