These are really great shorts. Fit and feel are fantastic! I love them and I’ll buy more. My ONLY issue with them is that the only places you can carry a clipped pocket knife is either on the back left pocket or in the waist band. Neither being great options whether you’re hiking or wearing them daily.
Took this jacket on a trip to Chicago recently and it rained quite a bit, but kept my upper torso completely dry. Very comfortable, lightweight and packable. Definitely an item that will be coming with me on future trips. This jacket does have a lot of non-stitched/glued seems, so we shall see how it holds up over time, but for now it's a great rain jacket.
These shorts look and feel great. The fit is perfect and they seem to be very well made. Going to order another pair in a different color.
I live in Louisiana where the temperature is a low of 77 and reaches 95 by noon in the summer. It gets hot when playing pickleball on outside courts. In addition my skin burns after 15 minutes. The NoFry shirt is the answer to my problem. I played an hour this morning and I was well protected from the heat and sun. I wear a women’s size 4 and the men’s XS was a bit large but I believe this helped me dissipate heat. Great job in protecting me from sunburn. I’m going to buy a spare NoFry shirt. Good product! Thanks!
The. Best. Pants. Ever.
Like not wearing anything but without the indecent exposure wrap.
Comfy, perfect pockets, love the zipper over wallet. Just 100% perfect.
These shorts are legit, great quality, great material, great look. I can’t find a time I wouldn’t want to be wearing these. All summer activities, these are my guys.
I love these pants! I now own two pairs, and they are my first choice whenever I’m working around the farm. They’re lightweight and breathable, so they never feel hot, but they still protect my legs while working. They’re also very flexible, making it easy to move, bend, and climb. I was worried the thin material wouldn’t hold up, but my first pair still looks almost new after plenty of use. I’ll definitely be buying more.
Perfect pants! I am 6'2" 180lbs, with 32" waist and a bit larger butt and thighs. I got the 32" waist with the 34" inseam. I initially tried the slim fit, but needed to exchange them for the straight fit because they looked painted on. The stretch of the pants is great and they have been perfect for hiking/climbing/camping in the the hot Utah summer. These things are incredible, after putting them on I immediately ordered a second pair in grey.
Great for a vacation on island!
Great fitting shirts. Best shorts for hiking.
I highly recommend the Fairweather socks as someone who regularly walks 10-12 miles a day for work in Florida.
Just a bit of cushion with my insoles and Merrell Moab 3s and my feet don't hurt just perfectly temperature regulated AND they stay up! I haven't tried the warm weather socks but they seem more suited for a bike ride than hiking/walking while the cold weather are designed for pressure points you won't encounter down here in hell adjacent.
These pants are great. Just as advertised with light yet protective. Even with summer temps, they keep me cool. I wish they had a zipper and button but even without that, thyme are still 5 stars.
This UPF 30+ garment is the most breathable and fastest drying I have ever bought. Also, the difference between UPF30+ and UPF50+ is blocking 96.7%+ of UVA & UVB rays and 98%+ of UVA & UVB rays. If you want close to UPF 50 buy black or another dark color.
I work in Florida, outdoors and this thing is a lifesaver, every tiny breeze feels like it cools me down. Throw up the hood and throw on a nice cooling bucket hat and my day is so much better with little exposed skin. I have it in the grey color and have never once got sunburnt even with UV Index at 10 for hours on end.
As someone whose ancestors spent years in the mountains and on an island with no sun I have a a huge stat debuf close to the equator & I have to REALLY pay attention to daily sun protection.
I use the goated, but expensive French sunscreen LaRoche-Posay 50+ SPF on my face & legs which has standards for UVA protection and doesn't run into my eyes unlike American sunscreen that is only regulated for UVB protection. BIG SUNCREEN IS HOLDING THE USA PALE COALITION DOWN!
Seriously, just google "trucker face" & you'll see an image of a 28 year veteran truck driver who drove almost daily exposing one side of his face to a closed window, not tinted, so it allowed UVA rays to shine in and cause extensive damage to his face and recent studies have shown that UVA rays are much more dangerous then originally thought and can result in increased risk of cancer.
The only recommendation I have is for Ketl Mountain to develop cooling sleeves with hand coverings like the Outdoor Research Active Ice cooling sleeves with hand covers and then for Ketl to make a hooded short sleeve. Then I would be in heaven.
these pants are great. I just ordered the slightly wrong size. the waist is too large and the belt mechanism scrunches/crinkles.
Best lightweight pants for hot weather. I wear them to the office in AZ where it’s currently 110° and they’re super comfy and breathable. Definitely ordering another pair and some vent lightweight shorts.
Great fit!! My wife loves how it fits and feels.
Fantastic breathability, which was my top priority. Climbed and hiked in the sun, 90ºF (33ºC), and could feel every slight breeze.
Then went to a couple of stores (REI, Walmart...) and the Ketl hoodie was the lightest by far, meaning more breathable, on average 1/2 the weight of all others. Excellent.
The hood is pretty much useless though, way too large, doesn't even stay in place when wearing a climbing helmet. Needs 2 more buttons, I'll install press fit ones.
Hands down, the best windbreaker I ever got. Best fit, very light, great comfort and nice looking
Great. Comfy.
Really well made shorts. I've worn Club Ride and Showers Pass shorts and these are superior in design, comfort, fit, function, and feel. Too early to comment on longevity, but the lifetime warranty suggests this won't be an issue...
Very light weight and soft. The 4 snap gives you lots of freedom to wear a golf polo shirt underneath and have lots of room around the neck. I also have the 1 snap that keep the hood in snug when the wind is blowing, however it too restrictive to wear a golf polo underneath. The one snap is snug against your neck.
Absolutely love these shorts. They flex well with movement and look like designer shorts when paired with a button down shirt. The material is awesome and repels water very well. The silicone waistband liner ensures the shorts don't slide down, even without the use of the drawstring. I've worn/washed these 4 times now and haven't found a single stitch that has come undone. I will be buying more!!!
my new favorite summer shorts! I wear to the gym and daily wear. perfect for LA weather. Ketl team - need more colors pls. I will definitely purchase again!
WOW, there are no words to better describe my experience with these shorts.
Great! 5 stars
