DON'T DISCONTINUE THESE PLEASE!

I have 4 pair and these are now the only shorts I wear. Abandoned my other brands as well as other Kuhl models. These are all-purpose shorts for hiking, swimming, casual wear and just hanging out. Love the material vs other Kuhl materials. PLEASE, keep making these!

My new favorite shorts

These shorts are great, or them on a trip to Costa Rica and had a day in torrential rain, repelling on waterfalls, Whitewater rafting, and about 7 mi of hiking. They did great: shed water, were lightweight and breathable, dried quickly, and were very comfortable.

Great shorts!

I am very pleased with these shorts. They are lightweight and comfortable. I wear them around town and travelling during hot days. I only wish they had two phone pockets.

Great for all occasions!

Happy about the quality and feel of these shorts BUT they do run small. I've always been a perfect fit for size 33 Waist in all Kuhl pants/shorts, but this particular short just runs small. I'd size up at least one size.

My Favorite Kuhl Short

These are by far my favorite Kuhl short! Super comfortable! Can be swim shorts too! I wear them for pickleball, working out and casual everyday shorts. I initially ordered two pair sized 35 and after months of wear decided to order size 34 because the 35 were just a little too big. The 34 is perfect! I also found out from talking to customer s...
