Best Pants I Own

My wife and I went for a short hike today. I wore these pants and got laid afterwards...I will be ordering more!

Wesley S.

Amazing Pants!

These are some of the most comfortable pants I’ve ever owned! I liked them so much that I bought 3 different colors!

James D.

Noice!

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

Excellent travel pants

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.

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.

Extremely Comfortable

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.

Quality and fit are very good...but...

Quality and fit are very good. Needs a discrete cell phone pocket along the leg to avoid the unsightly phone-bulge in the pocket. The only other thing is the tab on the right front pocket with the KETL logo. It's a little tacky, and knocks these down a bit on the ladder from business-casual.

Seriously the best pants I’ve ever had

Seriously the best pants I’ve ever had. I travel a lot for work and these have replaced the jeans/sweats/chinos combination I used to carry. These do it all and look fantastic doing it. Incredible fit, finish and look.

**Slim but not skinny, versatile, and refreshingly normal-looking**

The blue-gray color fills a unique gap in my wardrobe, and the fit is flawless—exactly as described. They’re slim while still looking professional, and I’d feel equally comfortable wearing them on a plane, to the office, at a brewery, or out to a nice restaurant.

Best of all, they don’t have that techy sheen or make the “swoosh” sound when I walk. Just fantastic pants that work across a surprisingly wide range of settings.

One of my new favorite pants in my closet and I will be adding another color. The fabric is durable and built to last. There is a bit of whoosh sound when walking step-by-step but maybe that will fade?

Very comfortable pants

Really comfortable pants with good pockets. I was looking for pants that work well when traveling and these work perfectly for that. They have good weight on them as well. Some travel pants can feel very cheap. These feel premium (they better be, for the price).

Comfortable travel pants-zipper pocket security

I purchased my first pair of Tomfoolery Chino Travel Pants in Khaki for work travel. They are very comfortable and great for air travel. I decided to purchase three more pairs in various colors for my vacation to Italy. The zipper pockets were key to my decision because of pickpockets. I noticed that the pocket zippers on the Khaki pants have a plastic grip on the pull and the other (black, gray and brown) only have the metal pull. The plastic grip on the pull really makes closure easier. The metal pull is harder to grip and sometimes hard to close. I don’t know Why are the zipper pulls different?
I definitely recommend these pants for travel. The zipper secured pockets are deep enough for a large cellphone and comfortable to wear for hours of walking and touring.

I love my new pants, i already bought 2 pairs

I love my new pants, i already bought 2 pairs. The fit is good, Im 5’6 and i usually buy 32/30 pants but this seems to be longer than my other 32/30. Aside from that it feels great, fit is very good. This would still be my go to pants now for travel and I love the zipper pockets keeps my stuff inside.

Decent overall - Minor improvement needed

​Overall, these are a great middle ground between traditional trousers and athletic pants. I really like how they look for casual wear around the office.

​They are a bit heavier than I was hoping, but if you go commando or wear minimal undergarments, they breathe well. The fabric isn't too rough on bare skin, except for the grip waistband. I actually dislike that feature and would prefer to go without it; I had to put anti-chafing cream on my hips to stop it from grabbing my skin so aggressively. On the flip side, I really like the drawstring since it lets you skip wearing a belt.

​There's plenty of room in the crotch gusset, even for well-endowed guys, though it could use a bit more structure. My package tended to push off to one side rather than nestling neatly between the seams, though there's still plenty of space when standing or sitting.

​My biggest issue was that the center-back belt loop seam came loose after just one wear with a standard belt. It's an easy fix, but it's annoying that a quality control issue like that slipped through.
