KUHL Radikl Outsider Pant Review

Kuhl Radikl Outsider Pant Review

The Kuhl Radikl Outsider Pants are the ‘extra features version’ of the original Radikl Pant I reviewed here. On top of the normal Radikl features of a lightweight and durable pair of pants with special stretch panels for extra comfort and ‘give’ around the leg and joints areas it also has seven pockets ( including thigh zipper ones that avoid ‘that cargo pant look’ and a wide comfortable waistband these are just as useful on the trail as they are in a workshop. The bonus with the Outsider pant is the waterproof dyna waxed finish, adjustable leg cuffs to tighten round ankle boots and large zipper pockets on your thighs with a very useful inner pocket to hold smaller items like headphone cases within a larger pocket. All in all if you spend more time outside than inside I would say the Outsider version is worth the extra money. Continue reading Kuhl Radikl Outsider Pant Review

Kuhl The Law Fleece Lined Hoody Review

The Kuhl Law Fleece Lined Hoody is not a Hoody. It is, however a very very stout winter jacket with a deep fleece and warm hood. I reviewed the Kuhl Burr Jacket in the past and this Fleece Lined Hoody feels like the ‘Big Brother’ of that. With articulated arms, an adjustable sleeve and loads of deep pockets this jacket is smart in urban areas and practical for wearing on a winter hike on the trails as well as having a distinct natural dye that will patina in a ‘rugged lived in way’ over time.
