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. 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 G1000 Eco fabric on the main wear areas of thighs, knees, ankles and seat. G1000 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. 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 has 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.
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. The knees are fully articulated and you can insert knee pads if you are using the Kebs for work. Further reinforcing heavy duty fabric is used around the fully adjustable cuff and there is even a lace hook to stop the cuff riding up.
As with all Fjallraven equipment a lot of careful thought has gone into detail and making sure they perform well and last a long time, the instep seam, for instance, has been moved to reduce wear and reinforced with a second layer of fabric.
To increase the versatility of these brilliant trousers the G1000 fabric can be impregnated with Fjallraven Greenland Wax to improve water resistance.
