Perfection

These pants exceeded my expectations! They have stretchy material where it counts, and reinforced stiffer material where it counts as well. I am 6’3” 170 lbs, purchased the size 30-long, and these are the best fitting pants I own. Not too lose, well fitted all the way down my leg. I only wish they had seat pockets and possibly a mesh material on the leg vents to keep-out debris. Other than that I give these pants a 10/10. I will definitely be buying more.

These Pants Are Perfect!

This is my third pair of keb pants. I absolutely love them! They are the perfect balance of flexible and durable. Obviously a little bit pricey but you get what you pay for the build quality is fantastic it put them through heavy abuse and they usually last a couple years of almost daily use. Because of the stretchy nature these are true to size but they allow for some stretch. I ordered 32 and they fit closer to a 33. The venting on the side is fantastic. I live in southern Utah and it gets quite hot. I use these for canyoneering, mountaineering, Via Ferratas, you name it! I recommend these to everyone who values durability and freedom of movement.

Awesome

Def one of my top 2 favorite outdoor pants for camping, hiking, and backpacking. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the zips don't have any material behind them so when you unzip to ventilate everyone can see you underwear. Kuhl has mesh behind the zips which I think is a much better look.

Amazing

Great for outdoor activities sizing is little bit small

Lack Some Resistance

Thought it was a bit more fire resistant than that and the upper zipper could be just one zip starting down so it doesn't show your upper legs when the zipper falls down accidentally. Also the inside pocket could be stronger its already all teared appart. Outside of that comfy and easy to dry.

Very Comfy, Little Tight At The Glute

very comfy pants, although I found it a little tight around the glutes. It may just be my size. I usually wear between a 32 and a 34, so I went with the 34, but I get a wedgie often. Otherwise great pant

Sizing Seems Completely Random

The sizing on all the pants seems completely random. I bought a pair of 34" Vidda Pro pants because I had a pair from a few years ago in that size that fit well. The new pair felt like it was 2 sizes too small in the waist. I couldn't even get close to buttoning it. So, I measured my waist and bought a pair of 38" Vidda Pro and Keb Trousers. The Vidda Pros are fairly loose in the waist, but still kind of tight when bending. The Kebs were even bigger in the waist than the Viddas despite being the same size. I don't think I'm going to try buying anything from them online any more since the sizing is all over the place. I don't even know how to rate the fit, because they are way too small in my normal size, but way to big in the size their sizing guide said to try

Not Like Older Versions

Looks like my beloved Fjallraven has succumbed to sacrificing quality to save money. The trend of keeping prices high and making a lesser quality product makes me sad. I wanted to replace a few of my Kebs that are ready to be retired but unfortunately the new design doesn’t hold a candle to the old ones. Stitching popped and open seams have plagued my new pair. I’m worried about the durability in the crotch area as well. Bring back the old pants and the quality that comes with!! This might steer me to find rugged outdoors pants and clothing elsewhere if this is going to be a trend for them.

Love My Leb

I love the Kebs. The right amount of stretch and pockets. Very comfortable. I wear them for hiking and just casual outings. Only gripe if I had to have one is they run a little long even on short size and they are spendy.

The Greenhouse World Needs To Know About These

I've been wearing these pants while working in a commercial greenhouse. Perfect fit for the hot/wet/dirty environment. They shed water and soil like it's nothing. They resist tears from tools and equipment. My favorite features are all of the vent zippers. The two vents on the lower leg are particularly awesome because they let you control your body temperature so much better than just the standard two upper vents by you thigh. I've gotten plenty of compliments on the color (I went with the burnt red/orange) I'm planning on getting another pair with my next paycheck so I can wear these trousers every single day. Absolutely cannot said enough good things about them. I feel like all of the horticulture/floriculture industry would great benefit from these types of products. I would recommend you start marketing to greenhouse owners and greenhouse workers.

Notes On The New Fit

I had a pair of the old fit for 12 years and they stood up to everything. I lived in them as field pants. Finally time for a new pair and now there's a new fit. The waist sizing and the cut of the new fit do not align. I am 6'4", 200 lbs and a 36 (52 EU) long in the old fit. This is the waist size that fits me in the new fit. However in a 36, the rest of the cut is much too tight. But in a 38 (54 EU) long, the cut of the pants is right (though slimmer) but the waist is far too roomy. My solution was to buy the larger pair and take the waist in to fit. But that's not something everyone wants to deal with. I'm sure with enough feedback, the Keb will be corrected, but it'll take a couple runs to get it right. As the website says, sizing up will be the best bet for the cut, but you will probably find the waist too large for you. It is easy to tailor them. I did it at home with a sewing machine, but any tailor could do this quickly. It's just a pain to not have them off the shelf ready. This is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. These are a 5 star pant. They're durable, comfortable, well thought out, and they last through all kinds of abuse in the field. There's one other company making something kinda similar, but there's really nothing like these out there. I will wear this new pair for another 12 years happily, just wish the fit was right without needing alterations.

Expected Better Attention To Detail

I have been buying Fjällräven products for years and I own two pairs of Keb trousers, among other items, so I am writing this as a loyal customer who genuinely values the brand. What really bothers me about this pair is the lack of mesh behind the ventilation openings. When the vents are open, the trousers look torn instead of well designed. For a brand with this level of quality and pricing, a detail like this should not be overlooked. This issue bothers me enough that I am giving these trousers 3 stars. At this price point, details matter.

Overall, I love these trousers! I’ve taken them on two backpacking trips so far. One trip in a prolonged fall storm and one in 0-20 degree snow. Pros: They are very comfortable and the vents are very useful for regulating temperature. I like how the vents are large and there is an upper and lower vent. They are stretchy where they need to be and the extra thickness on the bum and legs are nice. Great for preventing rips when I was sitting and maneuvering in ice and packed snow. The waterproofing and material are great for going through brush and being able to wipe off dirt and moisture. The boot hooks are great for preventing them riding up and the boot tightening snaps keep them snug to prevent stuff from getting up the legs. Cons: I wish both the left and right front thigh pocket had zippers instead of just the left pocket. I was a bit disappointed that a button on the thigh pocket froze together and when I pulled to separate the button the button on the pant (not the flap) ripped from the pant.

Old Fit Is Better!

Bring back the old fit please! Or at least give the option. I was ready to buy a new pair. I tried them on then left them in the store. Disappointed. I am not a fan of this “new improved” fit..

Not Well Stocked

We need a re-stock of these. I’ve been waiting for almost a year.
