Haven’t had a chance to wear them yet

Haven’t had a chance to wear them yet. They’re a touch small so want to try the larger size before committing. The length and diameter of legs is perfect, love all the features except, the waistband and belt, to be determined. The thought and logic is brilliant but not sure how I feel about it yet. TBD - that being said I can see how crazy valuable it is for the all around short that it’s designed to be. Well done

Why did you buy this? : Running for no bounce back pocket
Height: 5'6 - 5'9
Weight Range: 151 - 175 lbs
Almost Perfect

For starters, I'm 5'7 and 165 lbs. and went with the Medium (Small were snug). The storage is great and the material you can't beat in the summer. The only reason I deducted a star is that if you run with a phone in back pocket, the weight will drag the waistband down unless you really cinch the drawstring - which is quite long btw. That said, there is no bounce as advertised.

Why did you buy this? : Was initially looking for a shirt that helped stay cool in this Texas heat and stumbled on these shorts.
Height: 5'10 - 6'1
Weight Range: 151 - 175 lbs
Perfection!

The Virtue Hybrids are a well thought out design that I found maximizes comfort and versatility. It only took me wearing these one time to go back and purchase all three versions of their pants if that tells you anything.

Black / L (33-35)
I bought them to evaluate your products!

I bought them to evaluate your products. I’m impressed and when I go to your site to buy some others, I can’t find any shorts in my size 33-35.

Great fit and length for a deteriorating old man

Great fit and length for a deteriorating old man such as myself. Almost all the components of these shorts are of excellent quality. The only improvement to be made could be more stout zippers (they’re on the flimsy side but not a deal breaker).

Excellent experience

We travel a lot; active, adventurous but not over the top. Searched a long time for the right company to offer high-quality, active/functional apparel. I'm working on fit - straight vs slim, 32" vs 34" when I'm a 33" (unfortunately) but I think I've found what will work. Easy return platform is very helpful. Soon to be loyal customer.

Best jersey I own

Best jersey I own. Lightweight, wicking, and durable. Nice athletic cut. Great shade of blue. 4th piece of Ketl kit I own. All high quality fabrics and stitching. Definitely getting more.

The outdoor pants I've been looking for!

These are just the outdoor pants I was looking for. Durable, stretchy, and super comfortable. The fabric moves really nice and feels good on the body, unlike some other hiking pants I've worn. I've taken these on numerous overnight backpacking adventures and they've held up great. Will be purchasing more colors!

My new favorite pants!

The internal belt alone makes these pants worthwhile, as it one of the many features that makes the Shenanigan my favorite pants.

Brown / M (31-33) / 30"
Great all around pants

The KETL Mtn Shenanigan pants are quickly becoming my favorite all around pants, whether I'm just hanging out or being active on the trails. The fit is great, and the sizing was spot on. I'll be buying more KETL Mtn products in the future!

Amazing shorts

Amazing shorts. The material is light and breathable, just what I needed for hiking this summer. I have shorts from all the competitors, this is now my go to.

Grey / M (31-33) / 32"
Perfect all around outdoor pants

Perfect all around outdoor pants. I'm still deciding what I love more between the Shenanigan pants and the Vent pants, but regardless these are an amazing pair of hiking/climbing/hanging-around pants. Super comfy, perfect amount of stretch, great fit and they look great. Would recommend! (I'm 5'11" and ordered a medium)

Great pants!!

Best hiking pants that I’ve found for those warmer days. They ventilate very well. They have the ventilation of shorts as well as the leg protection of pants. I plan on wearing them on my AT LASH in a few weeks.

Seven days in the Wind River Range

Seven days in the Wind River Range, and the hoodie preformed well in the sun and wind at 12,000 feet. The sleeves were a tad short for my longer arms, but the rest fit perfectly

Love these gloves

Love these gloves. They are light and grippy. I bought both colors and wear one of each color as a set to make it more fun :-)

Grey / S (29-31) / 32"
Perfect with a bit of help

I had them taken in a bit on the waist and they are the best work pants I could have hoped for.

Best backpacking pant so far!!

Just took my Vent pants on a 4 day 3night trip in Rocky Mountain park. Temps ranged from 35 as a low to +85 for a high and I was comfortable in the entire time. My biggest surprise was with how light these pants are just how durable they are. Scrambling over rocks and fallen trees I was expecting a few snags here or there but nothing. I'll be taking these pants on future trips for sure.

Oh these are also great for flying too!!

I'm usually not one for reviews or splurge IG purchases

I'm usually not one for reviews or splurge IG purchases, but in this case I have both splurged and I am writing a review.

These are fantastic pants. Exactly as advertised. VERY cool, and comfy. So far very tough as well

Great shorts, my go-to do everything fit

I really do enjoy these shorts - this is my second pair. I use them as my "everything" weekend shorts here in Hawaii, they work great for walking around town and jumping in the water at the beach. I'll definitely order more, I just wish they had more colors and were in stock!
