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)

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)

Great shorts but…

"These are great shorts but they are a little fragile. I’m not hard on clothes. These pill in the crotch area and will tear if not careful during laundering. With that considered these need to be priced at $49 max."

— Adam R. (4/5)

Great Shorts

"I really like how wide the front pockets opening are. it allows for you to carry your knife and not rub your hand on it when your trying to get into the pocket for something else. Great design!"

— Kraig M. (5/5)

Great wearing and long lasting pair of shorts

"My second pair of these shorts that wear very well. Very comfortable and well made. Only one compliant the back posts are a little small and my wallet falls out. A little deeper back pocket would be optimal."

— Frank G. (5/5)

Best short yet.

"These are my favorite KUIU shorts so far. . Bought them for a trip to Mexico and I wore them almost everyday. I like the fabric more than my Tiburon shorts."

— Ryan C. (5/5)
