KÜHL Renegade Pant review

The KÜHL Renegade Pant ranks third on value: $109 buys a water-resistant softshell with UPF 50+ and an eight-pocket design. KÜHL lists its Duralux fabric as 95% nylon and 5% spandex at 170 gsm, and describes it as quick-dry, water-resistant and UV-protective. Storage includes two drop-in cellphone pockets and zippered side pockets, and the gusseted crotch and articulated design with two-way stretch help on stairs, trails and long flights. The size run is wide, with waists from 28 to 42 and inseams from 28 to 36, which few brands here match. The Renegade comes in KÜHL's Klassik fit, with tapered and convertible styles sold separately. The trade-offs: its stretch is two-way rather than four-way, and the outdoor styling is more trailhead than boardroom. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the pants.
