Nice pants. Great alternative to blue jeans. I just got this pair so I'm not sure how well they will hold up but other 'Craig' series pants I own have worn in beautifully.

As another reviewer stated "I like these pants" and I have a 31" waist and sized up to 32" and that worked out perfect for me also. I am 32 x 32 and the length was perfect. I have not washed them yet, so cannot comment on the fading comments other mention. I wore them on a recent ski trip and they were very comfortable during the flight and my wife likes their look (I had the graphite) - they are easily wearable for casual nights outs, etc. Due to the extreme comfort, I even choose these over my old favorite Spotter pants for my casual office environment. I'll be ordering some other colors to try out and may even order another graphite pair. I'd give them 5 stars if the cold wind did not pass through them more than any other pair of pants I own and maybe deeper pockets. Pros: sturdy and well-built, suited for both outdoor activities and casual affairs like the belt snap. Neutral: They are baggy, but they are supposed to be for climbing. Cons: do not block the cold even as well as blue jeans the fabric does make "noise" walking, but nothing that's too distracting, just not like blue jeans; front pockets aren't as deep as I'd like

I like these pants. They are sturdy and well-built, and are suited for outdoor activities and casual affairs. But, there are some things to know: 1) They are baggy. Too baggy, I think. I know this is for range of motion for activity, but they don't need so much extra fabric throughout the entire length. 2) They are thick material. They almost "bend" rather than fold. They look bulkier because of this.Other than that, they are nice. They fit perfectly in the waist and groin area, and I like the styling. If you are between sizes, size up. 32 fits me, and I usually wear 31's in most other brands. Also, they do shrink a bit after each wash the first few times. This is fine for me, since they are plenty roomy.

I like everything about the Rydr pants except for the waist band snap that refuses to stay fixed - very annoying.
It is a common occurrence from reading other reviews.
I won't but any more Kuhl pants with these snaps until I see that the issue has been remedied.

I ordered the khaki colored pants but when they arrived, they were actually more of a green olive tint. They also fit a bit smaller than their listed size. The waist button also kept popping open, even with a belt on, which was very annoying. The pants did fee very durable and should stand up to some abuse.

I really want to love these pants and they are comfy, have cool reverse stitching, and they seem pretty durable. However, the sizing is a bit screwy. The 32" inseam seems much longer than any other pants I have, but the 30" was too high-water. The fabric faded pretty severely after one washing, but I do like that look, so no real problems there. I've had great luck with Kuhl Shorts and tops, but the lengths on the pants are hard to figure. I had similar problems with the Kuhl Jean (too long/too short) so I had to return them. Yay Zappos return policy. One more thing: the fabric is pretty heavy and makes a 'zipping' sound when you walk. I imagine these will soften up after many more washes. I hope so. One last thing, I suggest everyone look at the close ups of the rear, because I think the branding is just a bit obnoxious, because of it's size.

These are rad pants in many respects. They fit great, have pockets in convenient locations, and are super comfortable. Two major drawbacks, though:
(1) The length is WAY too long. I usually wear a 31 length. I bought the 30. It's at least two inches too long.
(2) After ONE wash, they began to seriously FADE--and only in places, so they basically look stonewashed. It doesn't look bad, but I was hoping to use these as my "khakis" for work, which I can't really do now.

I have other Kuhl pants.. Fit and feel great. BUT the snaps fail all the time!!!!! Just prepare yourself to by a snap kit to fix them yourself. Kuhl wanted me to send back my six pars with bad snaps! It is a cheap brass snap ring that fails.. Even my two week old pants come undone ever ten minutes with a belt. WHAT A headache !!!!

Great fit and style but useless due to the snap popping. Pants should stay up.

Great pair of pants. If you’re familiar with Gap, Banana Republic, or Old Navy straight fit jeans these pants (full fit) have a slightly more relaxed fit (maybe about 1/2 inch more or so room down the pant leg) compared to the straight fit jeans from said retailers. The pants are not overly baggy nor are they slim - just enough to have a relaxed, straight fit. The fabric is a nice, heavy twill with a very slight stretch. The gusseted crotch allows for more comfort too.
I’m a 32 but prefer to buy 33 waist pants for the extra space since I carry AIWB. Kuhl should standardize (and slightly enlarge) the cell phone pockets to be on both legs instead of one or the other (I have the Revolvr pants and that pocket is on the left). Also when washing, drying, and ironing these pants make sure they’re inside out to help prevent the “streaking” some have seen (use Woolite laundry detergent too). I have the dark alloy (like a charcoal gray) and am planning on picking up more pairs. One minor gripe is that the outer surface of the pants is brushed to a soft finish so tends to attract lint easily.

These seem well built, just don't fit my athletic or power lifting build. 36in waist, 42in hip and 28in thigh. Only pants like these that fit me are vertex phantom lt.

My boyfriend absolutely loves these pants. They feel really nice and are great quality. Just a little washing tip: wash these inside out the first few times. It helps them not to get a bunch of white wash lines on them.

I like these. My favorite Kuhl product is the Gunslinger pant. Compared to that these are slightly heavier, but more sturdy as well with respect to the material. I'd recommend.

What can I say? These pants are super cool (pardon the pun), comfortable and stylish in a low key way and have subtle yet neat features. Plus,you can't beat the Zappos price. I love them. And Zappos.

My husband loves this brand. I ended up purchasing 3 pairs (different styles) & he is comfortable in all of them. Well made. No longer will I be frustrated trying to find him pants (because he won't shop!), I've found the perfect brand!

I wear 32/30 in everything for 30 years. These are " full cut" , roomy. I found the 31/30 fit me better with just a little tightness at the waist. ( I'm in Vt, long winters, too much good beer) the snap waist is a little weak, solved by a belt which I usually wear. The rich tradesmen around here seem to wear these pants. Look great. I actually don't wear them to work for now. Builder. Too much paint and foam etc. Figure once they get worn, then I'll be a stylish contractor also. $75 locally. $55 for the pair I bought at Zappos.

I'm on my 5th or 6th pair of Kuhl "Rydr's". Not for everyone. Material is a little heavy for hot summer wear. Rydr's have a front snap closure that can pop open unexpectedly, like when you're lifting something really heavy that you can't drop to resnap your pants. I wish that Kuhl would go to the "Cobrax" closure you will find on "Bonobos" pants. The "Rydr" material makes a slight "slap" or "rustling" sound as you walk, even after it is worn and soft. The pants will fade, especially at the seams and wear points and this is quite noticeable on the darker colors. You have to make sure that the pants do not get creased in the legs in the wash or dryer as this will leave faded crease lines. Suggest you wash them inside out and fluff them up a bit before they go in the dryer. All that said; they are one of the best fitting, most comfortable and stylish pants around. Tough enough for work wear and stylish enough for casual office wear. I have a fairly athletic build that fits the cut of the pants. In summer, I switch to the Kuhl "Revolvr" pant.

Pros: Unique ergonomic design, high quality construction, very comfortable, slim fit, good looking pant. Fits to size, slight shrinking out of the dryer, but material has some give to it. Cons: Mid weight material is noisy like sail cloth when walking and the clever waistband snap tends to pop open easily so I recommend wearing a belt with these pants. I'd buy 'em again.

Be warned, Kuhl make a Rydr Jeans model that features the Klassik fit, but only in two denim colors. These are the Rydr Pants, with lots of color choices, but a totally different cut. I love the Klassik fit, but not this "Atletiuk" fit, which is much (too) full thru the seat and thighs. Probably my fault for not redaing closely enough and thanks tio Zappos excellent return policy, no harm done. Thats why I shop here!

I purchased a pair of Kuhl Ryders and am loving the style and fit. I washed the pants as adviced inside out in cold water but they developed major streaking. I returned them and had the same problem just to a lesser extent.

First, Zappos customer service is unmatched. They expedited a return on a defective pair, then worked a return on the second defective pair.
On that note. Rydr pants have a fading effect. In my case, the entire right leg faded in a line pattern, and the left did not. Two cuts of material, maybe? I do know it's looked pretty ridiculous for a $$ pant.
I was not expecting Zappos to work the return. But they did. Buy with confidence from this great company. Shoes and clothes are a nightmare to buy online, thanks Zappos for making is easier then it should be.

Don’t buy these pants I bought a few pairs at a time the buckle system is faulty it’ll work for a month or so and then it will stop working. Also I believe them to be overpriced.

Bought a pair five years ago. They are comfortable, and have held up great. Need to buy another pair as a pocket for keys is worn our inside.
