Keb Trouser - Men's

Top drawer

I’ve had these for a year now and they are by far the best walking trousers I’ve ever had.

The trousers that started it all

These trousers were the reason for me to fall in love with the Fjällräven brand. I've used them extensively while camping, tenting, hiking and- yes- winter mountaineering. I absolutely love the design, materials and functionality. Those were my first pair of hiking pants with pre-bent knees and I felt the difference in comfort and freedom of movement. In hot summer days, they might feel a bit heavy, so the ventilations are essential to keep you cool. I can appreciate the front pockets as well, as they have enough depth and are easy to reach on the go. My pair is ageing quite well and has no issues with the durability even after extensive use and washing cycles- the color on the G-1000 does start to fade a bit, but it looks even cooler that way. Overall these are one of my favorite trousers. For the winter mountain, they are a bit baggy and may get in the way of your crampons, so I switched to a pair of Bergtagen Stretch for that. Still, they can do the job and will not let you down. For all other seasons, they are unbeatable.

Improved Fit

I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

Size Bought:

32/48

I ordered these pants in the same size as other Fjallraven pants and shorts owned. They are considerably smaller through the waist, hip and thigh so I returned. Per Fjallraven site: "If you’re already a fan of our trousers, you should order a size up in our Improved Fit. If this is your first pair of trousers, check our Size Guide to find your best fit." I wish this had been included on the Backcountry description also! Pants seem great other than sizing

Very poor durability

After less than 8 hours of hiking through tall grass (prairie), holes were worn through the G1000 fabric in the pant cuffs. By the time I had worn them 12 times hiking through prairie, multiple holes were worn through in the G1000 fabric on the knees and cuffs, and stitching was coming out of multiple locations. I did not hike through brambles, thorns or heavy brush and was really disappointed at how non-durable the G1000 fabric has been. I very much appreciate the built-in gaiters/cuff hook and how light and flexible the pants are (reduces fatigue on long hikes). Overall, the design is good and a few small improvements in design could make a big difference in functionality. If you want to look good during a photo shoot or you only hike on groomed, highly maintained trails these might be just the pants you're looking for. I hike off trail for hundreds of miles each year for work and recreation - these pants wore through quicker than any pair of pants I can think of that I've owned in the 38+ years I've been in my career in natural resources. For the price, the durability of these pants is horrible. Very disappointing.

Fit and Function are Great!

These pants are fantastic. The materials are some of the best for hiking and durability. With a base layer underneath, they will definitely help keep me warm. I love all the features they have too, very well thought out design!

Very stretchy pants

I bought these pants a month ago,and til now i’m very pleased with the pants. For summer adventures is it very usefull

The Perfect Pant!

I replaced two pairs of worn-out old lighweight Fjallraven trousers with this newer design and couldn't be happier. They are form fitting, functional and fun to wear. I have worn one of the two pair everyday during my annual 30 Days of Dawn photo challenge, chasing sunrise every morning and these trousers perfomed perfectly. I added a lightweight baselayer for a few colder days but still maintained the great flexible feel these pants offer in spades. TOP NOTCH TROUSERS!

Best Pants

I've had roughly 3 pairs by now and will continue to buy them
