KUIU pant sizing change?

[Sako]

Hi all, ordered another pair of guide pants. I have 2 already but one got torn. Both are 34s, ordered and new set and they fit like 32s? I hate returning but have no choice but to. Seems to me a 36 would be too big. I am 5"11 and 185. Looked in the forums and seems like this is not unusual recently. I love my pair that fit right. Thoughts?

36 should fit ya well. I’m 6’2 195-200 and a 36 kuiu is just about right on the models I’ve tried. There seems to be a sizing scale jump from the 34 to the 36, the entire rise area is more roomy.

Sounds like I need to try the guides again and go with a 36. I wear 33-34 in all other pants with 34 in attacks. 34 in guides were too tight when I tried them last year so I sent them back and was also worried 36 would be too big. 5’11” and 190.

I find all their pants run small, especially if you plan to layer. I like the lack of stretch but I do size up for most Kuiu gear.

I’m so frustrated with kuiu and their inconsistent sizing!
My old 32s fit fine. New 32s and 34s are too small, new 36s are huge. Ugh. I feel like I’m taking a gamble every time I order from them. What’s worse is that the customer service is a email. No phone number? No human to talk to?

I’m trying Stone Glacier and Born Primitive

Most definitely. Many times we order 2 sizes at initial purchase. Try them on and keep what fits best. Shouldn't have to do that, but that's the way it is.

What Kuiu I have, I really like, but it is hard to fathom how inconsistent their sizing has been, for such a long time.
