— 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)

Best Shorts Available!

"I was hesitant about ordering the Switchback shorts, but was tired of getting cheap thin material shorts that don’t last or fit correctly. Now I wish I would have ordered these years ago! The fit & durability is top notch! The first time my wife seen them on was like, “I love your shorts and where did you find them?) I am getting ready to order two more pairs! Thanks KUIU for a BadAss and Awesome pair of shorts! ⚡️Dennis⚡️"
