South Kaibab Trail - Grand Canyon 5/25.
Grand Canyon: South Rim to North Rim Hike in One Day
There's almost no better place to test out Kühl's Men's Renegade shorts than the long, grueling Grand Canyon rim to rim hike in temperatures reaching 90 degrees. Fred wore them on this 21-mile hike to test the comfort, breathability, quick-dry and UV protection features. Fred's comments: "These Renegade shorts are great for comfort, they fit well, have good pockets, rugged, good quality, and dried fast after sweating." |

Fred got to try the KÜHL Renegade Cargo shorts on the rocky hike to Mt. Breitenbach. These are great shorts as an alternative to hiking pants. They offer more sun protection than many shorts because they are cut to knee-length. There are lots of pockets to store small items in. The fabric is very durable for sitting on rocks. These shorts fit well and were true to his size.
Fred had another pair of KÜHL shorts he wore year after year for hiking. We summited Gardner Peak in Utah a few days ago and he wore the Renegade Cargo shorts again, - looks to be his new go-to hiking short. |
