These shorts fit perfectly — I’m 6’2” 200lbs normally wearing a 34 waist and these 34 with 8” inseam fit just right. Probably my favorite feature of the Renegade shorts is that they’re not baggy and not too tight. They’re great for casual wear and errands, but also for hiking and climbing. It has enough pockets, one zippered, but I jut needed the 2 in the front. The material is water resistant as I discovered when giving my dog a bath. As far as length, I have long legs and both the 8” and 10” inseams fit well with the 10” coming to my knee and 8” sitting a few inches higher (but still not too high). The Renegade shorts are great and now I own 3 pair in different colors!

I really like the material; it feels durable with just a slight stretch. I’m not into the drop in pockets, but they haven’t been a problem… maybe I’ll find a use for them later. The zip pockets on both sides are nice though. The 10” inseam is also a great fit for me landing just at the knee, which I like a lot. My only hang up is with the waist fit. There is no stretch there and they are ever so slightly tighter than other brands (Patagonia and prAna for example), and being I usually wear 34 and REI doesn’t stick the 35 has me unable to return the; 36 are too big. I’m having to consider returning these and buying the 35 directly from Kuhl.

Years ago I purchased an REI brand pair of cotton shorts that quickly became my favorite, but they finally bit the dust. I was unable to find any cotton shorts at our large REI store and ended up buying two pairs of shorts that are synthetic. These are lighter than my old shorts but lightness should be an attribute for shorts. I can't speak to durability since I just got them. POTENTIALLY USEFUL INFORMATION: these have a stretch band so I ended up buying a pair with a waist that was 2" less than my previous cotton REI shorts or the other brand of shorts that I purchased at the same time. There is a button closure; a spare button is provided. The front pockets are fairly deep, which I like. The rear pockets do not have a closure, but they have a flap over the pocket ...

I bought a second pair of these shorts after wearing the first one for a month or so. They are so comfortable in the hot Texas summer. Perfect length for my 5’9” frame. Touches just above my kneecaps. Durable material allows me to wear while working in my woodshop or gardening. 32” waist is true to size. Pockets are roomy but not overdone.I love mine and think you’ll find them comfortable as well
My Renegade shorts super comfortable for warm days. And they look great!The 34 size runs small -- that's ideal for me as I'd normally buy 33-waist paints.The pockets are problematic:-- Velcro back-pockets are too small because the velcro closures take up a full inch of the otherwise six-inch depth (I took accurate measurements). Certain other Kuhl rear-pockets feature a small cord loop that might make it easier to open these pockets, but they'd still be too shallow, their total six-inch depth compromised by the velcro making for a tight fit for a regular-sized man's wallet.-- Mobile-phone pocket is too small, way too small, for the larger mobile phones including my iPhone 11 (and the 12 and 13's are even larger!)-- The side zipper pockets, while well-located ...

However for regular frequent daily use, such as wallet or mobile phone, they too deep for frequent retrieval of stored items.Attached to the mid-rear belt loop there is a finger-sized flexible cord loop of shoelace-like material, apparently for decorative use. One of those above each velcro closure would be really practical.If style and comfort are priorities than yes, wear these pants. If you want perfect functionality, take a look at other Kuhl pants.
I am a huge fan of Kuhl products. I have three pairs of the pants (can't remember what they are called, but mine are light and super comfortable) and have about four pairs of their shorts. Two are 12" and two are 10". The first pairs I bought probably 8 years ago had a soft and stretchy material and other than the side pocket getting ripped when caught on a table, were just a super comfortable product to walk around in or go out for an evening.Last year I ordered two more pairs of the charcoal gray and while they are excellent and very durable, the material is no longer the same soft and stretchy as my previous pairs and are modestly heavier and not as comfortable. It is still a very good product but I can't give it five stars.Now the pockets are tremendous. ... MoreI am a huge fan of Kuhl products.

It is still a very good product but I can't give it five stars.Now the pockets are tremendous. There are a lot of them and one can easily take a cell phone to walk around in comfortably and have had no issues at all. I love the zippered lower pockets so I can put a money clip in without any worry of it falling out or being pickpocketed.The 32's fit me perfectly (6 ft, 160-165) and I like the 12 inch inseam more than the 10's.
I was looking for a pair of shorts which didn't have flap pockets on the front/side. I came across these when looking at a variety of options. I ordered them online, but the delivery was delayed so I contracted Customer service to change to an in-store pickup.I have worn these shorts a few times since I received them and they are quite comfortable. They wear well, have great pocked, and appear as flat faced shorts, yest still have side zipper pockets that are quite useful. There is also a "hidden" pocket that holds my cell phone very comfortably and help change weight distribution on my body. They are light weight, easy to clean, and over all look great. I am glad I bought these shorts and they will be well used going forward.
I have now ordered these twice and not once has the sizing been correct. Does KUHL have a quality assurance problem or a sizing determination problem?I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of these shorts! I was disappointed when I tried them on.My first pair: The tags and the packaging all show Size 30. But, in fact it was a 32". I measured the waist seam with a tape and comes out to 32". Do these shorts run a size higher? Or is this a quality check issue? Did they mis-label/tag a 32" as 30"? I am disappointed.My second pair: the tag shows a 30” with a 8” inseam. I measure them as soon as they arrive and this time the waist measures out to a perfect 30” and fits me well. The inseam is a different story - it measures to 10” whereas the tag shows a 8” inseam.Can ... MoreI have now ordered these twice and not once has the sizing been correct.

This is now going back to REI.Otherwise, I like the styling, the material and the pockets. I just wish the size was right.
Bought the Renegade shorts last month and was really impressed with overall comfort of the shorts. However the snap/clasps started to fail whenever I bent over to tie my shoelaces or pick something up. This is an ongoing problem with Kuhl shorts and pants as documented in many reviews on various websites. Don't really understand why Kuhl continues to use snaps/clasps on their pants and shorts, especially for outdoor clothing. Fly buttons are superior to snaps/clasps.
Kuhl is great brand, they make quality clothes that are well worth the price and will last you a while. All of their clothes are not just designed for durability and style, but with the way your legs move in mind. Legs don't just move straight up and down, and all their pants work with the natural ways your legs move while you walk or hike. These shorts in particular are extremely durable, they do fine on rocks, and the material isn't waterproof, but moisture will bead and roll off these pretty well.overall pros:they look great, these shorts are made to be durable, look good, and have lots of function, which is why they're expensive, but they're the only pair you'll need.these are pretty breathable, and still tough.they have a ton of pockets. very handy for the ...
