I got these pants specifically to climb in in Yosemite and they did not let down one bit. First off, the material is comfortable, lightweight and I can tell that it breathes. It also held up to my dragging knee problems I have while I climb; needless to say, they have no holes yet! The ample pockets hold all the things that I need, like my phone and then some of my beta papers while I climbed. I like that i can roll them up if I need extra air flow of if I want the cuffs out of the way. In total, I just really like how these fit. I think they're my favorite pair of tech-pants.

The pants fit really well and I love the color of mine (red). I've worn them nearly every time I've gone climbing for the last 6 months, so as expected they've got holes in the knees and a cool groovy patch as a result. My only complaint is that the pockets are too small for my phone to sit securely. If I can manage to get it in there, the snap buttons always open up, allowing my phone to drop 115 ft. Yep, that happened and the phone still survived. Seriously, why aren't there more women's pants that have larger pockets with zippers?! Relying on my partner's phone for the topo or ripping out pages of the guide book is less than ideal.

Love these pants, they do run a little on the large size, but I will try to wash and dry them again. Still super comfortable. Size 8

These pants will be perfect for a hiking trip I'm taking in AZ. I like the fact they are cotton blend, not all nylon. Plus I'll be crossing a lot of streams so the fact I can roll them up is a plus. The pants have good stretch and fit and are long enough. Plus, there are lots of pockets! I don't understand why some manufacturers do not even put back pockets on their hiking pants. I do wish they had a similar style/material with zip off lets.

Fantastic fit-True to size-flattering utility pants for a woman's body-doesn't look like you are wearing a mans pants...I was a diehard buyer of Athleta brand pants for work (dipper) and when the GAP bought them -they changed-Kuhl is my new go to brand! So glad I ordered from BackCountry!! The best!

Very comfy and nicely fits over boots/shoes.

I have two pair of these pants that are now two years old and have been worn and washed at least 500 times. They are super comfy and hold up great to lots of abuse. Love the fit, love the pockets. I'm here to buy more of them and am a little concerned about all the comments that they run small. I'm wondering if Kuhl has changed the sizing on these.? I am 5'6", 137lbs, and I HATE tight, restrictive pants. My two-year-old size 8 splash pants fit just great, nice and loose and comfy. A more generous fit than many other brands of size 8 pants. Backcountry staff......has Kuhl changed their sizing? Or can I order more size 8 pants with confidence?

I really enjoy that these pants are designed to fit in the waist, higher in the back so there is no gap. The hidden drawstring is also helpful. I have purchased many Kuhl brand clothing items, built to last and looks great.

I have these pants in multiple colors ( black, carbon, sage, indigo, rust and dusty blue) and love them! I am 5'7"and approx 140 lbs, size 10 fits me perfectly. They run a little small. I am normally a size 8. They are classy enough to look professional for work ( office casual) with a nice Columbia button down shirt. I work as a Physcal Therapist in an outpatient office. The pants are easy to get up and down off the floor for demonstrating exercises etc , yet look classy , especially if dry cleaned and creased. They are great quality, light weight for summer but wear them all winter long too. The length is great, which at 5' 7" is usually hard to find. The back pockets on the buttocks is very flattering! I consider these my uniform and cant wait to order more from backcountry. Wish Kuhl made a cream color, lighter then khaki. Personally I do not use these for hiking but can see why one might want to.

I bought these for my wife.The pants are true to size (she's 5’ and 102 lb and generally weasr a size 2). The back is cut a little higher than the front, and the waist actually fits her. Usually if the legs fit, the waist is too big and then she has to wear a belt or use the built-in cord to tighten the waist. The Syrah color is nice and the fabric is perfect for climbing, hiking or hanging out. It's too bad she had to drastically hem the pant legs, but that’s par for the course.

I normally wear a size 10 and ordered a size 14. I need a belt but other than that they fit great. I just got them a few days ago and I'm in love with them. Plan to order a couple more in different colors soon! The color Breen is very flattering. Age 45. Runs small size up 2 sizes if you have curves.

love the pants!!!

I am 5'7" and 136 lbs. I usually wear a size 4 but ordered a size 6 in the color Breen. The color is great. I wish I was able to order in the red color as I saw someone wearing this while hiking and loved the color. They fit tight in the rear but are comfortable in other areas. I have a long torso and short legs and these fit just right.

I have another pair of this brand in size 8 and they fit perfectly; this pair is so small. I'm 5'7" and 136 lbs and can't button them. Back they go.

I love these pants so much. They are a bit long but are easily turned up. The fit is comfortable with the waist band sitting comfortably just below the waist. The fabric is stretchy for climbing rocky trails and leaping across water.

I am 5'2 @ 115 lbs with a short torso and long leg build. Purchased it in breen and am loving the color. I would like to note that these are a bit too long, but folding them up is not an issue for me. Aside from that, these pants fit wonderfully and I have room to move around in them--which is a big factor because I have trouble finding pants that fit and give breathing room for my quads. The Kühl Splash Pants are functional, quick to dry, and have lasted many outdoor excursions as well as casual outings. I would definitely buy another pair.

As a field geologist, I am extremely hard on clothes. These pants have held up longer than any other brand. They are comfortable, look nice, dry quick, fit perfect, and have plenty of pockets! I wear them everywhere. I bought the sage a few months ago and just ordered the indigo last week.

Side note: I got grease on them from a drill rig the first day I wore them to work. Several hours later, I poured Dawn dishwashing liquid on them and threw them in the washer. They came out without a stain!

These have just the right number of pockets (chapstick/cash, phone, snack, and trash pockets), dry incredibly quickly, are super durable, and aren't constrictive. They're perfect for hiking and general adventuring.

As far as fit goes, I'd say they fit True To Size but if you're worried about it, go up a size.

Bought these primarily for doing conservation work and they've transitioned to my favorite everyday pant for work or play. Super quick-drying and wicking but rugged and durable, no wear in any of the usual places after a year of nearly-everyday wear. Super comfy, gives in all the right places, but maintains a nice flattering silhouette, even after weeks without a wash. Great, mid-rise cut stays put and stays comfy under pack waistbands.

I am 5-8, long legs,, 150lbs, and athletic build. I normally wear a 6 or 8, had to get a 10 for these. They run a little short, I usually am in between regular and long/tall sizes, these are about an inch or two short. Good amount of stretch. Great pants, would buy them in every color if they were longer!
