Reviews

Pretty good pant.

"Not a bad pant. The fabric is a little more coarse than I’d like but the sizing is good, although I wish they had a 33w option. Also, I wish it didn’t have mesh pockets. I know the idea is to be light weight with good ventilation, but mesh pockets feel cheap to me and they tend to snag on things."

— Jason T. (4/5)

Switchback Pants

"I work in forestry field and they are amazing. They are light weight and have lots of mobility for tree climbing and ground work. Even though they are meant more for the summer months, it has been windy and cool with recent fall weather and you can barely feel the wind through them. I will be definitely buying more of these."

— Reed K. (5/5)

Worth it!

"I love them, the switchback pants are great, I have a few other pairs of their pants also and I have zero complaints other than the price tag. Good products are costly though and they are definitely exceeded my expectations!"

— Michael C. (5/5)

First time purchasing KUIU, stumbled

"First time purchasing KUIU, stumbled on your product during an online search. I am thrilled with the switchback pants they are exactly what I like and need. The flannel I purchased after getting the pants is just as amazing. Well done guys!"

— Trevor A. (5/5)

Great fit!

"Pants fill perfect for 5’7” 48 year old dad bod/used to be somewhat athletic!!! But hey Kuiu since when did you start NOT sending a sticker in the package when you buy something? I mean come on people!"

Switchback khaki pants

"Really nice pants. Breathable and lightweight. Been using these for dove hunts and are super comfortable and seem to hold up well if walking through thickets or crossing barb wire. The little reinforced corner in the pocket for a knife clip is a nice feature too. I wear a 32 normally but have had to buy 34 so just size up."

— Christian w. (5/5)

Fit and Function

"I really enjoy the functionality of these pants, can literally where then to work one day, on the trail the next and to dinner that night. I have several pairs and models of KUIU pants and could say the same about all of them. Well built, fit and feel great. No issues with workmanship or materials"

— James C. (5/5)

Excellent

"This is my third pair of Switchback pant. They are the most comfortable and best fitting pant that I own. Very well made, stretch with you extremely well and light. You can where them in the field or in town. Got all 3 in solid colors and they look very great. Highly recommend."

— Jeffrey N. (5/5)

Great Light weight pants

"I own three pair of Attack pants and they are by far my favorite hunting pants. I bought a pair of Switchback pants so I would have a lighter pair of pants for hiking on my Alaskan cruise. They are very comfortable and great for summer and early fall. I just purchased two more pair of them."

— Scott Y. (5/5)

Great Pants

"I love these pants. I have about 8 pairs of them and wear them almost daily. I did have two pairs that the pocket ripped out of them really early. Pretty much an impossible fix but other than that they are great."

— scott M. (4/5)

Q&A

How do these pants compare to the Kutana Stretch Woven Pant? Such as fit, feel, finish?
The Switchback Pant is slightly lighter and has more of a slick feel. The Kutana Stretch Woven is more ideal for off trail use as it is more durable and the Switchback is great for on trail hiking or wear around town.
I’m a 34x30 in pants what size do you recommend for me?
We would recommend selecting our 34 waist with a short inseam (31"). Most of our pants can be hemmed as well if needed
These pants I just got and they are very long on me but the only size option I was given was a waist size.
The Switchback Pants are only offered in our regular inseam length of 34", but we do offer many of our pants with a short inseam of 31"
