KUHL Krux Short - Men's

I always wear a 30. Im returning these for a 32 as the 30 is far too tight... Definitely long enough though

To give you an idea how much I like these shorts, I own them in 3-colors. I like the longer length and how they are somewhat fitted so not super baggy and waving around your knees. The length is great for climbing and bouldering since it protects your knee from scraping on the rock. They are also my favorite, casual every day short to wear around town.

I'm 5'11" 180lbs and I wear a 32. They fit just right in the waist and the length comes down just below the bottom of my knee. Not so long to fall into the manpri territory, but longer than your average short.

I've been wearing these shorts for over two years now, I own a few pairs. They are great for everything from everyday wear, to hiking, biking, Kayaking and climbing. They are durable, breath well and dry fast. They are extremely comfortable and fit great. My purchase from backcountry.com was a satisfactory experience as well, and shipping was fast.

I bought these shorts for my man. He looks great in them, and also finds that he can hike and climb in them. So, it's pretty much a win win for everyone.

I would say I wear these shorts 6 days a week. The only day I don't wear them is when they are in the washing machine. Couldn't ask for a better pair of shorts!

Super light weight, and breathable. Protect your knees when you need it, slides over them for those crazy reaches. Couldn't be happier!

Just got these. They are awesome. Great for people that don't want to look like dorks with short straight cut shorts (i.e. for the type of people who don't wear "dad" jeans or fanny packs).

ive been looking for super long shorts/man capris, and i cant express how much i love these shorts. the fit is perfect!!

I've now had these shorts for only 5 days, so I can't speak to the long-term durability, but have had a very positive experience with them. I had a good experience both bouldering and gym climbing in them. In the gym, I appreciated the freedom of movement and the ability to keep a few bucks in the harness-compatible zip thigh pockets. While bouldering on (extremely) abrasive and sharp poured concrete boulders at a park in Cary, NC I appreciated having my knees covered.
The negative part: even though they're a lighter weight cotton/nylon blend, they're warmer than most shorts because they're longer. This isn't something I can really hold against the design, because I bought them to protect my knees while climbing rather than to stay cool. That being said, the trade off of being a little sweaty versus having my knees chewed up while climbing is worth it.

I love these shorts alot. Being a climber, light weight, flexible clothing is important to me and these shorts are just that. On the longer side, these shorts protect your knees and offer suprising durability and abrasion restistance. They aren't quite 3/4 long and aren't quite 1/2, which I love, its great because unlike long pants these shorts wont reach down to your feet and interfere with your footing on small holds. I love the breathebility and fit of these shorts, they are more centered for movement and athletic activities, but can still be worn around town and simpily all the time.
Near perfect and well worth the price. (especially for climbers!)

Hope it helps!

These are truly the best shorts I have ever had. I originally got one pair and then came back and got two more pairs to round out the whole collection. They are well worth the money. I wear them for nearly everything: Climbing, Mountain Biking, Working, and just plain Lounging.

The shorts are long with a 16" inseam. The front pockets are medium depth - just deep enough that things wont fall out when you sit down.The side pockets are zipped and also double as vents. The long vertical pocket (I think its what they are calling a cell phone pocket in the description) works perfect for sunglasses. There isn't a whole lot of pocket space on these as they are not cargo shorts.

Bottom line: A stream lined short that looks and feels as good cruising around town as it does on the rocks.

very comfortable. Fabric feels durable. Good length if you like slightly longer shorts. Highly recommended.

Living and working abroad with the Peace Corps, I only brought two pairs of shorts for my entire stay. I brought two pairs of these shorts. You will need nothing else. These things are tough, dry in a hurry, good at varied temps, and they are amazingly comfortable. By two pairs and save yourself the time.

I wear these to work, and then I can head straight to the crag. I love the articulated knees, so I don't have to worry about pulling them up during the crux of a climb. They are super durable too. I might just have to pick up another pair or two.
