The RISE

Rating:*****

What makes these shorts, and all products from the waist down, from Kuhl so desirable is the front and rear rise measurements. The waist is low and the crotch gusset is high. The rise on so many other pants make me walk like a penguin. These allow me to walk like a human being! The funny thing is that there is still room in the waist, hips, and thighs for people with muscular legs to experience a range of motion and freedom that other garments do not or refuse to provide. Kuhl is the fit for me.

inconsistent cut.

Rating:****

I have one pair that absolutely rocks! Perfect in every way. Then i ordered a second pair a year later and the sides were extended and who knows what else (i'll up load a pic later). The result was a funny looking second pair that just did not drape the same. I wish they wouldn't change the designs. They may still work for you but my finicky ass can't go with other cut. Maybe each batch of Eiger shorts are cut a little different and i should try again??

These are some sweet shorts! They run a little more that the average pair of shorts, but buy some and you will see the light my friend. Well ventilated, spacious and lots o pockets. Also, you can tell they will last a long long tome when you feel the material. You definately can't go wrong with a pair or two of these babies.....and they come with a cool sticker and some inspirational words from your buddies at KUHL.

Eiger's Rock!

Rating:*****

These are now my favorite "everything" shorts! Kuhl does a lot of very cool things to them like an inside security button as a backup to the fly. Mesh pockets and bomb proof material. They fit true to size, they dry extremely quickly but I didn't chaff when hiking in them wet for long periods of time while in and out of rivers. Another great product from a killer company born in Utah!

KUHL Eiger Short

Rating:*****

I got these shorts for my boyfriend about a week ago, and I don't think he's taken them off since (eww!). That means he loves them! He is 6'1" and 185 lbs, and I got him a large. They fit great, especially with the adjustable belted sides. The KUHL Eiger Short is really a great buy. Pair is with some of Kuhl's button-down shirts for the total mountain-guy look. HOT!

Wearing them right now!

Rating:*****

I gotta say, I love these shorts. They are comfortable, flexible, breathe well, tough, and they dry real quick. Unlike some shorts from prAna that are this length, leg opens straight and don't taper smaller and don't look quite as goofy as some of the long shorts from other companies.

Wished they made more!

Rating:*****

Just discovered these Eiger Shorts. They used to come in Blue, Green & Brown. Seems they're closing these out unfortunately.?? Found "green' ones from Back Country. They wear great, no chaffing, dry quick. Only 'Brown' colors from 'Kuhl'. Looking for the 'Blue' ones. Would buy more.!!

These shorts are awesome. Flat out the best pair I own. Unique cloth. Durable and breathable. Great fitting. I bought the Olive ones and really like the way they look.

Buy 'em

Rating:*****

Great shorts...very light weight, yet durable material with excellent construction. Integrated belt is a big plus and ensures a great fit.
