Reviews

Overpriced, poorly fitted, and poorly designed shorts

"Although my waist is a 40, the short rise on these shorts made for an uncomfortable fit. Additionally, neither of the rear pockets can be secured with Velcro or a button, so items cannot be secured, plus the pockets tend to gap open. All in all, these are overpriced, poorly fitted, and poorly designed shorts that I chose to return."

— Donald R. (5/5)

Quality speaks for itself.

"Very nice fabric with a substantial, but not heavy feel. The weave of the fabric is really nice. It feels like it won't get easily snagged on brush. The fit is good - long enough not to feel like Magnum PI, short enough that I don't feel like I need a skateboard. Great quality - will be buying more."

— John D. (5/5)

Great shorts!

"Very comfortable and look great! Only complaint is the flap over the fly could be a little wider. It tends to roll back exposing the zipper. Kinda looks like my fly is open."

— CHAD H. (5/5)

Very comfortable and breathable. Perfect

"Very comfortable and breathable. Perfect for working outside or just lounging around. Definitely gonna get a couple more pairs. Followed wash instructions, did shrink a little bit."

— Eilert M. (4/5)

My husband loves these shorts.

"My husband loves these shorts. They have become his first pick for hot days no matter if we are relaxing at home or in the woods."

Switchback 10" shorts

"For me the Kuiu products tend to run a little smaller so I order the next size up. They are great shorts."

— Ray R. (4/5)

Love them but have to

"Love them but have to always get a size bigger in your shorts and pants"

— Paul S. (5/5)

Shorts

"Good, runs a little smaller than I am used to, but after a few weeks I really like them."

— Greg S. (4/5)

Do it all shorts

"Getting hard to find shorts that fit tall people. This is my second pair. The fit, comfort and quality are great. Looking for shorts that can go from low country to the high country. Pull the trigger you want be disappointed"

— David C. (5/5)

Although they run a little

"Although they run a little small, still very comfortable and great styling. The material is flexible but sturdy and the 10" is perfect and not too restricting. I may be getting another pair or two in a different color."

— Devan W. (5/5)
