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).

Questions, answered

Before you buy.

Pulled from chats, emails and store visits. The things people actually ask us before they buy. Don't see yours?

Ask a question

When would I wear a vest instead of a jacket?

When you want torso warmth but need free arm movement — climbing, hiking, hauling firewood, working around camp. Also great when temps are mild but a breeze chills your core, or as a layer under a hardshell when full insulation is too much.

Will it work as a midlayer under a jacket?

Yes — most vests are cut trim enough to layer cleanly under a shell or jacket. Check the chest measurement; if you're between sizes, the smaller usually layers better.

Does it have hand pockets?

Most do. Spec sheet confirms — typical configuration is two zippered hand pockets and an internal chest pocket. Hand pockets are usually fleece-lined for warmth.

Is the back longer than the front?

Most performance vests have a slightly dropped hem at the back to prevent gaps when you bend forward. Spec sheet has the back length if it's a critical fit detail.

Can I wash it like a jacket?

Same care as the equivalent insulated jacket — gentle wash, mild detergent, tumble dry low. Synthetic insulation is forgiving. Down requires a down-specific approach.
