I'm a 72 years old dedicated trail trekker who lives in his fjallraven keb trousers, base layers, jackets and hoodies, You are absolutely right they are great, and I wear them all the time. The gear is 100 % worth the money and do the job extremely well.

I did mention it in one of your last videos, but as you made a separate video on just the pants I might as well throw my 2 cents in here as well. I really agree that people need to focus on price per year, because quality gear is possible to acquire. The first time I tried these pants in a store I felt right away that this is quality, and that they have really thought about what materials should go where, and what kind of seams, buttons, zippers etc. When you get to know the pants these details really do matter, and my favorite is actually the liner of the main upper front pockets, because they just feel good and is also a place you know will last longer than cheaper stuff. Personally I bought 3 of these pants in one go, because I knew I was going to use them, and I have as well. Last winter I also acquired their Singi gaiters that I needed for snowshoeing and stuff like that, and I also just wear the Keb pants + the gaiters in lots of snow, because when you're being active you want something that breaths as well as having a material that doesn't make lots of noise. I did see a test of their previous version of gaiters that some guy said did not breathe at all, though the new type(that I have) have no issues with that that I've noticed, and I've been using them for 6 hours snowshoing in heavy snow and lots of uphill as well, so if it can handle that with no moisture issues, then that's a thumbs up from me because snowshoeing can be really physically demanding. Final note is that I'd rather have few but great things, than lots of crap. Just care more about your purchases, and get things you will actually use so you won't just buy stuff just to buy it.

I love my fjallraven pants. I have 3 different pairs and they are all phenomenal. Absolutely worth the money.

Great video! Nicely filmed, edited, and a detailed review. Appreciate all the effort you put into creating such nice videos. Thanks!

Thanks for the review on Fjallraven gear. they have great stuff and it's great to hear real world reviews after multiple years of use

You look amazing in these. That's another testament to their fit as I don't usually expect workhorse outdoor gear to fit and look so good.

Gear reviews are very useful and appreciated. Thank you as always.

Very nice review,honest and to the point!

Great honest review Careena. As you say they’re not cheap trousers but you can pay just as much for an inferior brand. The last 5 years you’ve worn them, you’ve done a ton of outdoor activities. Worked your butt off building the house and also working with Brandon on Timbermates. If that’s not proof how durable they are, then nothing will👍

Nice review, I appreciate you sharing your experience with these pants. Even though with most everything I buy I have purchased items that will last a lifetime I did not follow that with clothes. For years I put off getting a pair of real good quality saw pants and boots. I mostly wore chaps and made in china hiking or logging boots. Several years ago I purchased a pair of Canadian made saw pants and a pair of made in USA steel toe logging boots. They are both still wearing great and I cut timber daily in them. Like you said definitely worth the money, I don't even think about the cost and would never go back to what I wore before. I have since been upgrading the rest of my clothes. When purchasing quality higher priced items doing your research and considering the items cost/value out over several years compared to months like cheap crappy stuff makes sense. Plus you look, perform, and just plain feel better wearing them which adds ever more to their value.

Good video as always please be safe out there ❤❤

Never going to un-sub you , your videos , info and you are way to cool ! 😁😁😁

Perfect timing, hopefully they still have a CyberMonday sale on. If not, my plan is to get a pair of outdoor trousers this spring and this is great advice. Thank you.

Spot on!

I have the blokes version of these and I haven't killed them yet. I'd also recommend Helikon Tex pants. They're good too.

Great video, maybe you can make a video about your boost too or could you tell us what the brand of your boosts at least? That would be a great help.

Only the second time I've heard of this brand. Seems like great stuff. Rite along the line of Filson clothing. They have like a $1000 jacket but I have a buddy that has a Filson hunting like upland game bird jacket from the 60s and it looks great for being like 6 years old. Will definitely look into some of these pants in the near future. Thank u for the review.

Fjallraven pants are really good for the price. I know they are expensive(~$250 at the moment), but they build like a tank. I love I picked up one on sale a year ago.

Another female Fjallraven nerd here! In their pants section, I love their Vidda Pro, and I think you would also really like those. I'm super hard on my pants too. They're also cheaper, because they don't contain any stretch, which makes them a lot more durable being fully G1000. I kind of had to buy them because none of the curvy pants fit my measurement difference between my hips and waist, so I bought the Vidda because of the G1000 that I could easily alter by sewing the waist smaller on a bigger size (stretch and a combination of materials is a real pain to alter). Because of that, they fit even better than any of their stretch pants, so I have great mobility in them. The knees are also preformed, and I have ample room for thick wool base layers, so in my opinion, they're absolutely perfect. I love their gear too!

@polarvortex880

​@@careenaalexis Me too, it took me a while to end up with the Vidda's. I tried the Keb curved too, but they were still too big in the waist. So I tried the Vidda's, knowing I had to alter them, and (as expected) they felt very straight in the store, so don't let that fool you. I even had to go up a size because of the G1000 being so rigid compared to the stretchy Keb. Or at least, that was the case a few years ago, they've recently changed the fit. A seamstress, or if you're good at sewing yourself, could easily cut out a V in the middle back seam because there are no back pockets or different materials that you have to work around. Truly one of the easiest pants I have altered!

I can't say enough how much I enjoy your video's. They are always informative and well made. Can you put a link for those pants. I can see what good quality they are and also the value they offer. Thanks. Looking forward to your next video.

The only pants that have come close to competing with my Kebs are my Decathlon "SH 500 WARM" pants. Different construction, and fleece lined (I live in Canada) and they're my go-to winter work pants. 3 years on 2 pairs, and not one knick. Just wish they had back pockets 😂 Should note, they're only $55 CDN. So, they're also a great value.

And also what about mosquitoes? I'm sure the reinforced G1000 parts are fine, but any problem with the strechy material with those bugs?

I believe I looked these up once and they didn't come in my size which is why I only wear 5.11 pro lite tac pants. Since they have sizes that fit me. Thanks for the video

*_Hello Careena... you look so good wearing the famous brand Fjallraven pants, it's the best brand, you look even cooler and prettier, a little tomboy... greetings from Indonesia_* 💯👌👍👍👍

The one thing that causes me to replace new pants from my adventures, is burn holes! Sparks from the campfire inevitably cause wear and tear on my clothes, more than anything else! Lol!

Keb Agile Winters are so much better than standard Kebs for cold weather persuits. They are also the redesigned "improved fit", which new Kebs in store in Feb 2024 also have. I'm selling my pairs of Kebs to step into the Improved fit versions, because the improved fit of the Keb Agile Winters is that good. Everyone tries Vidda Pros first because of stickershock, but it's worth it to spend nearly double to get into the Keb line. Keb Agiles are also really great, both normal and Winter editions.

only thing that holds me back is the lack of rear pockets. A pair of flap closed pockets to me is essential in outdoor pants. Do they make anything like that?

Added bonus: Their stores have in-house repair service. A rogue spark burned a hole through the G-1000 fabric just below the knee of my Kebs. Took it into the store seeing if they had spare material that I could repair it with, and to my delight within a week they had sewed a patch on for me.

I prefer to layer. I don't use any one coat in particular. I have a cheap $45 down jacket that I use with a base layer (wool), then mid layer (wool or fleece) then the down coat, and if it's really wet out I'll put a rain shell over everything. I promise you this layering system will keep you warmer and dryer than any one particular winter coat will.

Nice

What boots are you wearing?

I have to say,no-one rocks a pair of ravens like you do. Maybe women's are just more flattering to their shape than the mens are to theirs ? Way too lumpen in comparison. Less snug and much too...billowy. I love Revolution Race gear personally from Sweden. Great for walking... but the Ravens look much more robust for bushcrafting affairs i would venture.

Do you know anyone who's had a warranty claim? The way it reads, expected wear-and-tear and "damages caused by the user" aren't covered. So what *would* be covered? A zipper failing or a seam coming apart? Your pants have lasted 5 years, which is impressive and may make them worth the price, as you explained. And if Fjallraven is good about the warranty, that would even more insurance and would be enough for me to buy them (assuming they fit well, when I try them out in the store). But I'm worried the warranty may not be worth anything in practice.

I am not so happy: After three years at least four holes in pockets and stretch fabric in my Keb. 😢

Hear hear I have viddas and Barents pro

There is nothing magic here and one 'do it all' pair of pants is always a compromise. These are standard polyester/cotton work pant material in a lighter fabric than you would find in a well made work pant. It is a tradeoff of physics that if you try to get one thing to do multiple applications, it never does anything well. Poly is hot and doesn't breathe good. The lightness of the material in the G1000s isn't good for sharp and jagged things brushing your legs, as we see with the holes that I've never had with my Carhartt cotton ducks. There is really little that justifies the cost of these pants. Much better to buy good work pants for construction and lighter more breathable pants for hiking and light duty tasks. A pair of surplus army pants for 20 will do great in a bushcraft applicaiton. Also other natural materials like light wool pants , might be interesting as wool wears well and is naturally fire resistant, unlike poly/cotton.

I bought a pair, after less than 40 days mountain wear both bottom seams have holes in them. In my opinion tje bottom of the trousers are too heavy for the normal material, not worn crampons with them or done anything apart from normal Trekking. I am in my 50s and have never had a pair of trousers fail so quickly. Sent away 18th December still waiting for any reply from Fjall Raven a month later.
