These are OK but fit, fabric and details are unnecessarily weird. Sizing is accurate. They don’t shrink much. Out of the dryer the lower legs fit very, very tight to legs, like hipster skinny jeans. Mainly because the fabric develops these stiff creases in all directions that make the pants kinda grab the leg like those Chinese finger-trap devices. It gets better as you wear them around all day but some of the creases kind of become permanent in the stiff fabric. I have no idea how many hours they had to attack them with an iron to get them to look normal in the pictures. Also you’d better have a pretty good butt and hips to keep them up as they are cut just kinda straight down from the waist. And there is no way of wearing them without a good belt because there is no waist closure button just a very odd snap thing, kind of a metal grommet wit a little dot on the other side. It doesn’t keep the pants closed at all. Fabric is durable and they are pretty warm and sewn well. Seems like they just kind of over thought a pair Carhartts or went for a better fitting Filson Waxed fabric but missed the mark. I’ll keep them but likely will not buy any more.

Color Discrepancies

Ordering from Backcountry has always been timely and simple. With these pants though you never know what the color is really like. I ordered these in badlands khaki but they are a greenish color, nothing like the image on Kuhl's website.

Function: While unintended, these pants saved my relationship. When sitting around, my girlfriend does this thing where she pinches my legs with her toes. This unintentional abuse drove me crazy for weeks. Last night, I threw these babies on. Pinch proof, the sturdy material will stand up to the outdoors and my girlfriend’s unnaturally dexterous feet. Sizing: Anyone saying size up, is lying to themselves about their weight... I wear a 33 in all khakis/canvas pants (Patagonia or lulu lemon), and a 32 in most denim (Levi’s, Hudson, Joe’s), I purchased a 33 and they fit perfectly, even after washing. Style: I wouldn’t recommend for a wedding, but perfect for everything else. I wear to work in an office, out on hikes, around the town, or just lounging around my house. They are tapered enough for a clean look, but the crotch and knee cuts allow easy and unrestricted movement. Only con... the material is a bit heavy for a Memphis summer, but then again... any material is too heavy for a Memphis summer. Purchased 2 pairs, totally worth the money.

Wish you didn't get made fun of for wearing the same pair of pants everyday in a row. These are so comfortable and a great fit! Love the fabric - great for a work pant or a semi-casual-formal... whatever wear. The cover on the edge of the pockets is great if you carry a knife every day. Love the articulated knees.

I love these pants. I normally have a difficult time with pants fitting as my thighs are bit thick. These pants are tapered and still fit my perfectly in every area. Definitely will be buying a few more pairs.

I bought these pants thinking they simply looked great, however they fit even better than they look. I can not express how comfortable they are, and they also allow for great movement. These are a must for you wardrobe!

Just bought another pair after a pen exploded in my last ones. These pants seriously rock! They're super durable, comfortable, and look awesome. Fit it true to size. Pro tip: Turn inside out when washing to avoid discoloration.

These pants are absolutely amazing, 3 of my 5 pairs of pants are these. These comfortably fitting pants are stylish enough for any occasion, save formal events maybe, yet also durable enough to withstand a weekend of canyoneering. The material resists abrasion as well or better than any work pant I have owned, but somehow remains soft against your skin. I have spent time hauling brush and cutting wood in these pants, yet not a single pair have worn a hole or show any thinning of the material, even my first pair which are approaching 6 years of wear! I highly recommend these pants to anyone who wears their clothes hard and don't want to get multiple pairs of pants for multiple occasions. 10/10, no complaints and will definitely buy again, that is if the ones I have ever need replacing!

These are simply my go to pants for just about everything but weddings. They have that feeling that just makes you feel right and comfortable, while looking good at the same time. I always recommend KUHL pants, just find the style that best suits you ,it may be many.

These pants fit like a dream and are bombproof. I just love these pants. FIT/FINISH: I have the hardest time finding burly pants that don't have enough room for both of my legs to fit in one pant leg. For a skinny dude like me, these pants fit exceptionally well and yet don't hinder mobility in the least. They also don't look out of place in the woods, or out to dinner. They're good all the time. I also absolutely love the cellphone pocket on the right thigh. I choose these pants over most others because it has that pocket that keeps my phone snug and out of the way of sitting on it while freeing up other pockets for tools and what not, Its just super useful. DURABILITY: My wife says that I'm the reason we can't have nice things. I just tend to be really hard on everything I own. These pants stand up to my abuse super well. I got my first pair 2 years ago, and I'm not even close to having a hole anywhere. There is some discoloration in the knees, and the pockets where my knife and flashlight sit, but not a hole or close to one anywhere. My work life is split between land management and audio/video production, while my play time is mostly climbing, fishing, hunting, and working in my own yard. I have not had a pair of pants hold up to all of the above for 2 years without a hole forming somewhere due to use and abuse. These are not ideal summer pants, but its darn near impossible to find a burley textile that keeps you cool in Georgia heat and humidity, thats just life. Again, these pants actually fit, and stand up to abuse; a super rare combo in my experience. These pants are totally worth the $$. In the attached photo I have my first pair of these pants, as well as a pair of Mountain Khaki's I got about the same time. The MK's totally blew out where my flashlight lives (right hand pocket) about a year in to use, and also blew out the back right pocket where my knife sits. Also, the knees are paper thin and will have holes in no time. The Kuhls have some discoloration, but the fabric is still in tact and no where close to holes anywhere. Sorry MK, Kuhl just makes a longer wearing and better fitting pant.

Everyday pants

These are great for everyday pants .. durable comfy and look nice. They are not super stretchy so not great for climbing. Note the girlfriend does not like the white stitching on black pants but it’s minor and will likely become less of an issue as time goes on.

The Freerydr is a versatile everyday pant pant. I wear them as casual as well as a dress up pair of pants. They are comfortable in all the right places and are true to size. The color was just as described on the website.
