Gotta say they are almost perfect for me. I love the fit and breathable fabric used. My only issues as a sleeping pad user is the zipper on the side pocket. It could cause an issue. The zippered back pocket has material that covers zipper pull. Just wish the side pocket had the same.
These are still my favorite shorts!

Amazing fit! I’m 6’2 and 270lbs. Size Large & 30” inseam is perfect.

Used this across several hikes and biking in glacier and Tetons. Was perfect and comfortable from 60 to 80 degrees.

I originally bought these pants for my trip to Japan and Guam in July 2024. They not only met my expectations but exceeded them. I chose size XXL 32L, and the quality of construction is outstanding. The pockets are deep enough to hold a large mobile phone and a pair of glasses. There is just the right amount of room to move in all the necessary areas. Although they were a bit long, it wasn't a problem. The fabric is soft and stretchy, effectively wicking away sweat, which is especially beneficial for Japan in July. These pants can also serve as slacks; I've paired them with a dress shirt and boots for a casual dinner. I haven't yet ridden my mountain bike in them, but I believe they would perform well. I liked them so much that I purchased a second pair in size 30 inseam (this review applies to both pairs). The length is more suitable for me at 5'9". I took both pairs to a conference in San Diego and wore them every day during the June gloom. They worked well in the humid mornings and were even better in the sunny afternoons, keeping me cool and comfortable. I am likely to buy another pair in a color other than black. A couple of suggestions for improvement would be to add a small internal pocket in the main zipper pocket for a vehicle key fob and to make the small zipper pocket on the right leg a bit deeper to fit a phone. Overall, these are an excellent pair of pants for any occasion.

Really like the feel of these, but they fit on the big side. I generally wear either 33/32" or 34/32" jean depending on the season. Ordered a 32" L, but could have likely gone with a M.

Amazing pants. I normally wear a large/36 I ordered the large. Fit perfectly a little bit long, but I can have them taken out absolutely love the comfort couldn’t be happier.

I purchased these pants and am very happy about it. The pants are lightweight and very comfortable. They feel like I'm wearing surgical scrubs but also pass a stylish pant if need be. I'm 5'9, 180 and these pants fit true to size. There is still some room in them so they are not snug. Great fit.

Love how light this hoodie is while also having full coverage. Perfect for summer!

Best damn shorts I’ve ever owned.

The board shorts are lightweight, quick-drying, and super comfortable — great fit and solid quality. The hoodie is soft, breathable, and perfect for breezy days or cool nights. Both look great and feel even better. Highly recommend!

Took a couple tries to get the correct size for me but it's awesome! Highly recommended.

Unbelievably lightweight! Great for central Texas weather. I wear it when I mountain bike, hike, travel, lounge. It’s an awesome all around shirt.

The pants are great. I will be ordering another pair for sure. They are comfy, look pretty good and the ventilation does work. For me, the pocket situation is also on point. I don’t have any complaints.

Incredible quality in a super lightweight and breathable rain jacket. Using this as a rain jacket that I keep in my golf bag. Super stretchy for use in the golf swing, nonrestriction at all and the hoodie comes in use for longer waits. Waterproof is unbelievably good.

So I don't usually buy synthetic materials and have felt natural fabrics were the way to go. I have to admit I was wrong in that thinking as I simply love these shorts. It is breathable and feels solid like cotton but without the weight.

I appreciate the plastic coating along the waist but wonder how durable that strip is over time.

I specifically chose these shorts for the zippered pockets, since I will be taking these over to Europe and feel that these shorts could prevent pick pockets.

Overall I give it a 5 star. I ended up purchasing the khaki and grey pair.

Great shirt but I expected it to be a bit cooler. Would like it to be available in white too.

I'm a huge fan of these shorts. I prefer shorts with a 12" inseam with built-in belts. I've worn Zoic Ether and Prana Stretch Zion shorts and these Virtue Hybrids are made of the lightest and softest material. The adjustable belt is superior to that found on the Stretch Zion or Zoic Ether (which has annoying velcro straps).

Perfect fit plenty of room good ventilation great color and wash wash easy.

I have two pairs of these shorts and they are my favorite for mountain biking. I'm not a big fan of really baggy, super long, or loud shorts and many mountain bike shorts fall into one or all of those categories. These are more form-fitting and are the perfect length. They are comfortable and I can do both cross country and downhill in these.

The Virtue was my go to daily short from casual, to hikes and riding. The solid black color is something I have wanted for awhile and the material feels even lighter while wearing and dries super quick!

This kept my pasty self sunburn free and surprisingly cool during my most recent adventure, as a bonus it dries up incredibly fast after a good humid summer thunderstorm.

I’m really happy with how well this shirt held up to the abuse I subjected it through while rappelling, scrambling, climbing, and crawling through caves. While it ended up with a few minor snags from the rough granite, I thought it would have been shredded.

I wish I’d gotten 2 or 3 of these but the burgundy is ideal. Last weekend we went on a backpacking trip. We did 20 km in 2 days and camped next to the glacial river. I brought 2 shirts the KETL Mtn. Sun hoody in Burgundy and a Lululemon trainer hoody. Lulu is my absolute favourite but KETL Mtn. Have outdone themselves with this sun hoody. While we were out there it just happened to be 32°C and true to its name this was infinitely better than a t-shirt. I tried wearing the Lulu shirt for a while but was too hot so I ended up wearing this both days. I dunno what’s going on with the fabric but after 20 km and a couple cold plunges in the glacial river I didn’t smell at all.

As for the shirt itself, fits perfect, thumb holes in the perfect spots, super light weight (enough to wear on a blazing hot day), my one and only gripe with it is that the fabric does snag very easily. I’ve carefully cut off every snag and the shirt seems to self heal because there still aren’t any holes in… and honestly if that’s what it takes to have such a light and breezy shirt then I can live with that. I will definitely be purchasing 2 more in different colours and wear them all summer long.

**Pro Tip** this shirt pairs perfectly with the virtue hybrid shorts. The color in the logo on the shirt match nicely.

This is my first purchase from KETL and the quality is fantastic. The hoodie is very lightweight, packable, and works very well on warm sunny days. Highly recommended!

I got these virtue hybrid 9” shorts in brown and black. I wish I could leave a picture because I get compliments all the time. I’ve thrown out all my other shorts. I currently only have 4 pairs of shorts the other two I have are “686 Everywhere collection, featherweight” the 686 shorts are great but KETL Mtn. Knows a thing or two about how to make great shorts. The other day, I put them on and went commando. I took my puppy to the beach and jumped in the ocean with her and took her paddle boarding, then went to pick my wife up from work, I had a “Trees” Polo with me, dropped off our dog at a friends and took my wife to a fancy dinner. From the ocean to a Michelin-starred restaurant. These shorts have clever designs built in everywhere, as well as a fun Easter Egg for you to find. If you’ve stumbled upon this, don’t wait, buy them now. They were sold out for most of the fall and winter. Get ‘em while they’re hot.

Very comfortable and true to size.
