Noice!
Very stretchy, the anti-ball-squish technology works as advertised, and the fabric feels nice next to the skin.

The pants fit great, the material is amazing, and I will be buying more.
These pants are great. Well made and fit fabulous. They are not the sloppy loose pants nor are they “skinny jean” style. I bought them for traveling in and ease of packing.
Only need two pairs for a couple weeks in Europe. Stylish yet not formal. Perfect balance for me.
The tomfoolery pants are very comfortable. Fit is great and like the stretch material. I bought these for a trip to Japan. For travel I thought I would like the front zippered pockets but for me they were not that deep and I did not like the feel of the zipper rubbing on my hands every time I reached into the pocket. Going to buy a pair of shenanigan pants and see what I like better. Will definitely replace a few pants in my closet and standardize on Ketl pants
As advertised; comfortable, stylish, lightweight, and super stretchy. BUT importantly, the owner - Dom - does indeed answer all emails personally and shows tremendous interest in the needs of the customer. The customer service is superb!! And, this is indeed apparel well worth the price and investment.
Pants are awesome, fabric looks and feels great. Pockets hold all the essential items and overall a great travel pant.
Best pants I’ve ever put on these gorgeous legs!
If it is good enough for a Patagonia trip it will work for basically everything… the kicker is that as advertised, for going through airports they are awesome, NO belt, they have a give without feeling like spandex, good pockets. I love them way more than the shenanigans which are good but this ones also look like dress/adventure pants jajajaja
Perfect. Really comfortable and stretchy. I love these pants! Want to order more but out of my size in most of the other colors.
Great fit, extremely comfortable , especially on an airplane!
Excellent travel pants. I also wear them to the office. I wore them on the flight from Europe to Australia and they were super comfortable. I especially like that the pockets zip up as I can put in my cell phone and not worry about it being stolen or dropping it. Excellent stretchy material.
Very durable
Very comfortable and look great!
The perfect pant. Love the look. love the stretch. Will be using them on my upcoming Camino De Santiago walk
Have bought lots of other similarly priced pants from REI and these are definitely much higher quality than any of those. Great fit, great fabric, love all of the added features and just overall a great product. Will be ordering another one in a different color.
Incredible quality, great fit for guys with larger legs. I was really impressed with the craftsmanship of all of it.
The Tomfoolery Chino are some incredibly comfortable pants. They feel smooth like butter!
I thought the ‘no swish’ was just some marketing crap, but unlike other tech pants they don’t swish. Don’t know how they manage that.
The only thing I would improve is to make the front pockets an extra inch or 2 deeper so I can fit more stuff in.
