Molecule Knickers Shorts - Kickflips

Iconic cargo knickers in heavyweight cotton

Molecule Kickflips 50006 are long cargo knickers combining a baggy fit, heavyweight cotton and a length between shorts and full-length trousers. Army-Star has carried this model for around 20 years, and many customers return for another pair when their old ones finally wear out.

The roomy fit, large pockets and long ¾ length have made Kickflips a style that some customers wear for much of the year – not only during summer.

Baggy – but narrower than Drawn Togethers

Kickflips have Molecule’s baggy fit, with plenty of room through the seat, thighs and legs. However, they are cut slightly narrower than Molecule Drawn Togethers 45056, giving them a cleaner and less voluminous silhouette. They remain considerably roomier than Molecule’s regular and fitted styles.

Check the size guide before ordering. Lay a pair of knickers, shorts or trousers that fit you well flat and compare the waist width, length, front rise and leg width with the product measurements. Do not choose solely according to the size you normally wear.

Kickflips run very large. To achieve the intended baggy fit, choose according to the waist measurement in the guide. If you prefer a less roomy look, one size smaller may be suitable, provided the waist measurement still fits.

100% stonewashed heavy-duty cotton

The model is made from 100% heavyweight, heavy-duty cotton with a stonewashed finish. This treatment gives the fabric a relaxed, slightly worn appearance and a more comfortable surface. The material gradually becomes softer through wear and washing while retaining its robust character.

Fabric thickness, colour and texture may vary slightly between colours. The camouflage versions may also feel heavier than the solid-colour styles.

Spacious and practical pockets

Kickflips feature slanted hand pockets, large cargo pockets on the thighs and practical zipped thigh pockets. Concealed buttons on the cargo pockets create a cleaner appearance than visible buttons and buckles, while the zipped pockets provide more secure storage for smaller belongings.

The combination of spacious hand pockets, large cargo pockets and zipped pockets is one of the details particularly appreciated by many of our returning customers.

Adjustable leg openings

Drawstrings at the bottom of the legs allow the openings to be adjusted. Wear them loose for a wider drape or tighten them around the legs. Depending on your height, the long knicker length finishes around or below the knee.
