Anyone use them? Like them?

I got a couple tops from Snowbird this weekend from them. One is the Alpenwurx and the other is the Rival zip top. They seem to be nice around town/apres ski items and not really technical things. But they look good and I don't think I will be on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy anytime soon.

They look very stylish...more for walking around Park City instead of skiing Park City. I'm OK with that. Looks like good quality as well and they fit well.

Yeah, I have some stuff from Kuhl. One shirt in particular that a liked a lot. Then my brother said I looked like a "hipster cowboy". He actually meant it as a compliment....but now I'm not so sure I like the shirt anymore.

Hipster cowboy. My stuff definitely makes me look like a rich New Yorker walking around Jackson, Wyoming trying to fit in! :lol:

So I love the Kuhl items that I have. I just snagged another Kuhl Revel 1/4 zip this past weekend from Sundance Resort with their (low key) logo on it. Love the natural colors. I wear the Scandanavian Full Zip to work and it is fashionable and appropriate for a "business casual" workplace. Love the feel of the outer material. The only problem was that it pilled pretty badly on my shirt last week.

The Alpenwurx is also cool looking with the suede. But it is not windproof.

So more lifestyle than techy.

Bump.

Just got this item: http://www.kuhl.com/kuhl/mens/long-sleeve/coffeenna-hoody/

My advice is don't. They have made a new fabric using coffee grounds. Awesome idea. But it is so thin that it snags, pulls, even tears when you wear it. Put on a backpack? It tears. Send this one back to the drawing board. :sadwalk:

Follow up: I took it back to the retailer on Sunday. No problem there. I really, really thought about doing an exchange, but I did not want to be in the same position again.

I also wrote a review on Kuhl's site. Just got an Email from the rep there...nice guy who admitted that they are having issues with the fabric and wanted to make it right with me. Offered to swap, credit, or do whatever I needed. Very nice Email. I wrote back saying that I appreciated the response and that they heard the feedback. I also said that it went back already, but I was happy that they reached out. Kudos there.

All I have to say is. Why recycled coffee grounds?

I wouldn't want to be the guy responsible for sorting that from the trash. Obviously they must collect it from coffee shops like DD and Starbucks already sorted from the trash.
