Today in Gear: KÜHL’s Rydr Pants Get Winterized, Our Top 5 Camper Vans of the Year & More

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and deals. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at [email protected].

There’s a reason that the legendary KÜHL Rydr pant has such a fanatic following. The perfect blend of comfort and toughness, the Rydr pants are the go-tos for countless enthusiasts out in the field. But just when you thought the pants couldn’t get any better, KÜHL winterized them, meaning you can now wear Rydr’s even when the mercury drops. The Hot Rydr Pants are lined with flannel to lock in heat, with the added benefit of having a really handsome flannel accent to show off when cuffed. The fabric goes through a unique dying process that gives the pants a really nice patina that only gets better with time. And for less than $100, you won’t find pants this rugged with as many details.
