The toughest trousers we sell - A look at our Fjallraven trouser range

[@josephduchow3599]

Great comprehensive video Just what I was looking for Thank you

[@tauntonleisure]

We are so glad you found this useful. let us know if you have any questions!

[@LoneWolfExplorer]

Good video explaining all the different ones that they make. Overall I need something extremely comfortable but also durable so I think the Keb for me. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.

[@tauntonleisure]

We are glad this was helpful! The Kebs are a fantastic trouser I have been very pleased with mine!

[@konigkong1225]

Agreed. Keb is extremely comfortable with no pinch points. Move any which way with no restrictions

[@tubulzr]

I've (only) got the Fjallraven Nils pants with brushed softer 'G-1000 Silent' as the main material and regular G-1000 fabric on the knees, butt and around the ankles. Super comfy, both on long hikes and for daily use. With a decent wax layer they are windproof and somewhat water repellent (but far from waterproof). Because of the 65% polyester and 35% waxed cotton fabric, they tend to dry out pretty fast after getting 'soaked' because there isn't much material that moisture can hold on to.

Thanks! Very good look at the Fjällräven trousers!

[@tauntonleisure]

So glad you liked it! If you have any questions let us know!

If only Fjallraven could make their stuff more expensive.

[@tauntonleisure]

Quality gear does come with a price tag! Fjallraven's commitment to crafting durable and reliable outdoor products often means they use high-quality materials and manufacturing processes, which can make their items seem a bit pricey. But in the long run, investing in gear like theirs can save you from having to replace cheaper alternatives more frequently.

[@Nathansss365]

Buy good quality second hand , plenty of them about , if you don’t want to buy new .

[@lins9534]

Wait for a sale. Compute a $250 pant over 10 year life = 25/yr and less waste

[@XxLuvverofMusicxX]

Really good video explaining the different offerings but I cannot understand why, for such a costly premium brand of hiking trousers, there is no mesh on the vents to prevent the possibility of tics or other bugs getting into your legs should you open the vents. Might not be such an issue in winter, but otherwise... I understand that the mesh might reduce the airflow somewhat, but personally I would rather have slightly warmer legs which have not been bitten by bugs/tics.

[@tauntonleisure]

That's a really interesting point and not something I had considered when looking at the trousers. Id be happy to pass this feedback onto fjallraven!

[@Beorn.]

Interesting video, but are any of these waterproof? Did I miss that? My preference is not having seams over the knees. They rub up and down when walking and drive me nuts. Can you get them in varying leg length? Where I walk there is lots of long grass and non water repellant trousers get soaked through very quickly. I don't like overtrousers they keep me dry but are sweaty.

[@tauntonleisure]

Sadly not, standalone waterproof trousers are quite rare to find. The challenge lies in balancing waterproofness with breathability, which can make them feel a bit sweaty due to the nature of the material. For those seeking a reliable standalone waterproof trouser, we recommend considering the Paramo Cascada trousers. They strike a good balance between protection and comfort. 💧👖

[@lodewijkbergkotte260]

I love the vidda pro, but why is the knife pocket on the left? Not even ten percent of people is left handed and they're probably used to using right handed stuff...

[@vhockada]

Maybe to free up the clutter on your right side so that you’re range of motion with your right hand is optimal.

[@RC-qf3mp]

Great video. Very informative. What knee pads would you recommend for the Krebs (for a hiker)? I’d want something that is comfortable and lightweight for hiking all day, ideally dries fast and doesn’t absorb moisture on wet days, and of course is a good functional knee pad. Also wondering what the temperature range is for the Krebs. Thanks!

[@tauntonleisure]

Thanks for the comment, we would not recommend hiking all day with Kneepads in, it will be less comfortable and sweaty. If you plan on doing a lot of kneeling at camp or canoeing for example, then you could carry a lightweight closed cell foam pair which wont hold water, like the ones Fjallraven make. Temperature wise they are a good for 3 seasons in the UK and can be easily combined with base layer in colder conditions.

[@fouuladvand48]

What's with the Barents pro?

[@SimonHergott]

Does the Keb Agile Winter have enough room for ski boots when expanded at the bottom?

[@tauntonleisure]

Hi, although it does unzip and is stretchy at the bottom of the leg, I don't think you would get this over a Ski boot, its more designed to go over a mountain walking boot. I hope this helps.

[@ianiles6430]

At least they don't have zipped hand-warmer pockets. I hate such things with a bloody passion (take note, Montane, Mountain Equipment, Rab etc.). Against that, like pretty much every other mountain trousers (note, trousers, not 'trouser'), you can't adjust the leg length without cutting off zips or ankle adjustment. And for heaven's sake, if you're going to add map pockets, make them so they actually take a map!

[@snowpeaker]

The vidda pros have a large slanted pocket on the left thigh that completely engulfs a map. He did not show that in the video, I don’t think he noticed. I have used this pocket myself for maps, and fjallraven themselves market that pocket as fitting maps in promo shots.

[@evanw9390]

What color are those kebs?

[@tauntonleisure]

Chestnut-Timber Brown 🙌

[@andrewaajohnson7584]

Bollocks to lots of pockets, get yourself a bloody rucsac!🤨

[@joekelly9369]

Fjallraven fenix now taken over by engie israel , so much for ethically sourced

[@tauntonleisure]

Hi, we had a look into this. All we could find is Engie have purchased Fenix, a South African Solar company. A completely different company to Fenix Outdoors which is still majority owned by the Nordin Family in Sweden.

[@dylanglausier6314]

I hate that they don’t ship to the US

[@tauntonleisure]

HI, I think Fjallraven will ship to the US I have added a link below www.fjallraven.com/us/en-us

[@joehesketh9370]

Don't get the Keb, they are shite despite being incredibly expensive. They were a bobble covered mess after their 2nd use. It's the stretch material that lets them down. Fjallraven only make 1 decent material, G-1000, I wouldn't trust anything else of theirs.

[@tauntonleisure]

That's interesting, I'm sorry you have run into this issue a number of our staff own Kebs and haven't had this. Fjallraven did update their fabric a few years ago so its possible that they have improved the stretch fabric

[@joehesketh9370]

@@tauntonleisure they are only 2 years old. Unfortunately, I have a very hard time finding autumn/winter weight hiking pants that can withstand any serious hiking.

[@tauntonleisure]

Did you tumble dry them? Have you considered Mountain Equipment Mission Pant as an alternative? Its not as durable as G-1000 but is widely used for tough winter conditions. Ill link it below in case its of interest to you www.tauntonleisure.com/clothing-accessories/trousers/mountain-equipment-mens-mission-pant--regular-leg--black__6994

[@joehesketh9370]

@@tauntonleisure no, I hand wash all my outdoor gear and hang it up to dry. I don't baby my gear when using it but I do when cleaning it. Thanks for suggesting the Mission pant, but I have a pair and haven't had any luck with them either, they didn't last long at all. The only pair of outdoor trousers that have held up well to the rigours of tough hiking are the Mountain Equipment Comici, even though they are light softshell.

[@SimonHergott]

@@joehesketh9370 Yeah, my softshell fabric on my kebs are starting to pill a bit in places. Was disappointing to see

[@pag5210]

Fjällräven trousers are good for backcountry and survival. But they are wrong for hiking or mountaineering. Too sturdy and too uncomfortable for this.

[@Kyle97x]

Good for backcountry and survival but bad for hiking?? How does that make sense?? Hiking is walking around outdoors.

[@pag5210]

@@Kyle97xI see this different. Survival and backcountry is for me more a „Camping“ but hiking and montaineering is beeing very active with much movement. Sturdy trousers like the mentioned pants will not allow all movements and there are really not breathable and when they get wet and stay wet.
