KUHL WEEKENDR Tight Review

SIZING & FIT

Rating 5/5

Sizing options range from XS to XL with a 29-inch inseam. I am 5’5” and 125 lbs. I got a size S. My pair fit perfect. The skinny pant style is form fitting enough without showing too much.

COMFORT

Rating 4/5

The material of the KUHL Weekendr Tight is flexible and comfortable and adapts to your movement. The material is breathable and moisture wicking. They are great for hiking or everyday wear. 

When I initially tried the pants on, I could feel the inseams on the inside. These inseams bothered me for a few minutes, and I worried about it, but I did not notice them at all while hiking. However, if you are one who is bothered with feeling internal seams these might not be the pants for you. There are several areas of breathable material sewn in which creates breathability.

DURABILITY

Rating 5/5

The Weekendr Tight is made of a durable material that is also water resistant. The main fabric is 76% Nylon, 9% Polyester, 15% Spandex and the breathable areas are 96% Polyester and 4% Spandex. These pants are holding up well for me. They have rubbed against jagged rocky surfaces without any resulting blemish or compromise in material.

I ran water in a sink over the main fabric for about 20 seconds and moisture did not penetrate the inside of the pant. The breathable area does allow water in. The breathable areas of the pants are built in both outer legs and run the entire length of the pant. There are two other smaller areas above and below each knee, and around the waist.

POCKETS

Rating 4/5

There are two back open pockets with no zippers that hold my Samsung Galaxy S22. About an inch of the phone sticks out from my back pockets. The back pockets are tight enrough that I haven’t been worried about it falling out while hiking. There are two front smaller pockets with zippers that are not big enough for a smart phone. There are no side pockets.

COLOR OPTIONS

Rating 3/5

The KUHL Weekendr Tight only comes in two color options: Carbon (gray) and black. I have the carbon color which I like a lot because of the versatility. I would love to see these pants in additional colors. 

SEASON

Rating 4/5

These are great hiking pants to wear in during the spring and the fall, between 40 to 75 degrees F, according to my temperature liking. I wore them while hunting for a Christmas tree in 30-degree F weather and I was a bit cold. Conversely, I think they might be a little too heavy for hiking in the heat of summer months with anything over 80 degrees F.
