Fun fact: ‘Kühl’ is the German word for ‘cool’, as in ‘not quite cold’. However, to express one’s moderate admiration for something or someone, Germans use the English lean word ‘cool’ in the same manner as anglophones do.
They seem to have gone downhill in quality over the last 4 years or so. They’re great when new but seem to wear out faster. At least the lighter weight ones. I can’t remember if it was Free Ryder or Revolver but the heavier ones are better, but too heavy for non-winter hiking
They’re durable. I do landscaping and wear the renegade cargo convertibles daily. Probably marked down because I fell in love with them so now they have to discontinue them.
A guy I used to work with was friends with the founders and said they were great people. I had a pair of the revolvr pants and a pair of long shorts that hit halfway down my shins. (I’m 180cm) They both lasted over 10 years of travel across 3 continents. 100% recommend.
Great find! I have a LOT of kuhl pants. I got a couple of pairs, realized I love em, and then stocked up. Currently, I’m trying to find 32x30 to replace all of my 34" waist pants. I’ll have to check my local REI, I guess.
