Description

Make a good impression with the Impakt™. Our wind- and water-resistant softshell delivers premium performance and Mountain Born® style for everyday wear. A grid-fleece interior adds breathability and warmth, zippered pockets keep valuables secure, and articulated sleeves with built-in stretch deliver a superior range of motion.

Perfect for
Everyday Wear
Mountain Born style that works well off the trail.
Shoulder Season
Wind and light rain without going to a hard shell.
Freedom of Movement
Articulated sleeves and built-in stretch.
Features
  • Wind and Water-Resistant. A softshell face that turns wind and sheds a passing shower.
  • Grid Fleece Interior. Grid backing adds warmth and moves moisture instead of trapping it.
  • Five-Panel Sleeves. Articulated panels plus built-in stretch, so reaching does not lift the hem.
  • YKK® Zippers Throughout. Every closure is YKK, both handwarmers and the chest pocket included.
  • Moto Kidney Belt. A moto-style belt at the back that shapes the hem and carries the KÜHL look.
Size & Fit

Articulated fit with five-panel sleeves and built-in stretch for a full range of motion. Sized S–3XL.

Kuhl Sizing Chart

Measurements are in inches, unless otherwise noted. Charts reflect body measurements, not garment measurements.

To measure: arm length - from the center at the base of your neck, passing around the shoulder and elbow, to just past the wrist bone. Chest: around the fullest part of the chest under the arms. Waist: where the waistband of your pants would normally sit. Hip: around the fullest part of the hips. If your measurements are between sizes, select the larger size for a looser fit, or the smaller size for a snugger fit.

Kuhl men's pants are sold by numeric waist and inseam (e.g. 36 x 32). Inseams vary by style - see product details. To measure: waist - around the body where the waistband of your pants would normally sit; inseam - take a pair of your favorite pants and measure along the inner seam from crotch to bottom of hem. If your measurements are between sizes, select the larger size for a looser fit, or the smaller size for a snugger fit. All Kuhl pants feature a gusseted crotch and articulated legs (Kuhl's signature fit).
