What are the Keb Trousers?
The Fjallraven Keb trouser uses a mix of two very different fabrics to provide an extremely comfortable and very hard wearing general trekking and mountain trouser. After many years of success, the Keb Trousers have had an update for this season, improving the fit and features even further, reinforcing their place as the go-to trouser for trekking and general outdoor wear.
What are the Keb Trousers made from?
The Keb is primarily made up of a lightweight 4 way stretch nylon softshell fabric that is comfortable, quick drying and breathable. This is then reinforced with Fjallraven's incredibly durable G-1000 Eco fabric on the main wear areas of thighs, knees, ankles and seat. G-1000 Eco is a blend of 65% organic cotton and 35% recycled polyester. The combination of these two technical fabrics give you a very hard wearing and easy to move in pair of trousers. For this season, all seams have been removed from the back of the knees and areas which could cause irritation, improving comfort and durability.
What are the features?
Unlike some of Fjallraven's trousers, they are not absolutely festooned with pockets, but you get enough storage for the essentials. There are two hand warmer pockets and two thigh pockets; the left one of which has a zipped entry and the right one has an internal knife/phone pocket. There are also two zipped vents on each leg, one at the thigh and one at the ankle, which give the Keb true year-round versatility. These zips can also be opened from the bottom or the top thanks to two-way zippers. If you're using the Keb's for work, you're able to insert knee pads to provide further protection.
How do the Keb Trousers fit?
The cut and shape of these trousers is superb and combined with the stretch fabric they feel fantastic on and allow a full range of movement. For this season, the fit has been updated primarily around the lower leg to remove excess fabric; this doesn't impede your movement, but reduces the amount of baggy fabric you have around your boots.
Summary
These brilliant trousers can be used for a huge variety of activities; they're durable, comfortable, well-fitting, easy to adjust and just easy to live with. If you're still not persuaded, simply try on a pair and see how you feel, we're sure you'll love them!
