Women’s Kühl FreeFlex Rollup Pant Review

Roll Them Up, Stay Cool

Another feature I really like are the roll-up snaps. It gets really hot in the middle of a summer afternoon in Europe and with these pants I can roll them up to capri length and keep going. No need to change, no need to be uncomfortably hot – I can just make a quick adjustment to my pant length and I’m good to go.

Easy Packing, Easy Care

Like most travelers, I’m always thinking about luggage space. These pants are lightweight and pack down small, which is a big win when you’re trying to fit multiple weeks of clothes into a carry-on bag. They also dry quickly, so you can wash them in a hotel sink, hang them overnight, and wear them again the next morning.

From Trails to Tables

And these pants really pass the “super versatile” test. I can wear them hiking during the day, brush off the dust, and wear the same pair to dinner at a great osteria or bistro at night. With tennis shoes or sandals, a t-shirt or a blouse, they work really well! With a scarf as an accessory, I even feel dressed up while still in my hiking pants.

The Little Things Make a Difference

The deep pockets are perfect for most of what I want to take with me, and the stitching is subtle enough that they don’t look like purely “outdoor pants.” Add in the UPF sun protection and wrinkle resistance, and you’ve got a pant that works hard without ever looking fussy. That said, I really wish the side pockets were a little deeper. My phone doesn’t fit all the way in so that I can snap it into the pockets completely. That is really the only thing I don’t like about these pants.
