Dads can be tricky to shop for — they never seem to need anything. Even when you take a practical approach and buy him something like socks, he just hits you back with the classic dad line: “What’s wrong with the socks I’ve already got!?” He’s got a point — you got him socks last year and they’re still in good shape. Nonetheless, deep down all dads love pragmatic, functional gifts that they can use for years to come, and KUHL makes some of the most comfortable, technical clothes out there. So if you’re scrambling to come up with a father’s day gift that doesn’t sock, the list we’ve put together below is a pretty good place to start.
Renegade Short
If you love ending a weekend bike ride with your old man perched on top of a barstool with a cold pint in hand, but you don’t love sitting next to him in said bar while he’s rocking his spandex bike shorts and nothing else, then the Renegade Shorts might benefit you and dad both. He gets a pair of shorts made from tough, quick-dry softshell, with a micro-chamois waistband and stealth cell phone pocket; you get a chance to spend time with your father in public without the crushing shame of being associated with his poor fashion taste.
