All-Mountain Versatility Created from Fjallraven's iconic G-1000 fabric, these durable, functional and highly versatile trousers are well-equipped to deal with all manner of adventures in the mountains. Adaptable with Greenland Wax, they're built for a lifetime of use.
What are the Bergtagen G-1000 Trousers?
They're fully-featured, highly durable and functional outdoor trousers ideal for all manner of mountain pursuits, from mountaineering to ski touring, hiking to scrambling. They're made from Fjallraven's iconic G1000® fabric, with some clever features for maximum comfort and practicality outdoors.
What are they made from?
The Bergtagen G-1000 Trousers are built from Fjallraven's iconic G1000® fabric. Renowned for its exceptional durability and adaptability, this densely woven material is made from 65% recycled polyester and 35% organic cotton. This fantastic fabric is ventilating, hardwearing, weather-resistant and with the right care can withstand a lifetime of adventures, making it the perfect companion for a life outdoors. G1000® is so reliable and trustworthy, Fjallraven has been using it since 1968!
However, the magic of G1000® doesn't stop there! G1000® materials can be adapted to different personal preferences or climatic conditions using Greenland Wax. The wax allows you to customise the fabric's properties, such as wind and water resistance and breathability, in certain areas or across the entire garment, allowing you to adapt the trousers to suit each season.
Greenland Wax is easy to apply - you can literally do it anywhere! If you'd like to learn more about how to apply it correctly, check out our short YouTube tutorial by clicking here.
Fjallraven has used Corylon to reinforce the lower legs for protection from chunky mountaineering or ski boots and crampons. Corylon is a super strong, highly abrasion-resistant and slightly stretchy material made mainly from recycled polyamide from yarn scraps, offcuts and second-quality fabrics combined with super tough aramid (kevlar) fibres for exceptional strength.
What are their features?
The Bergtagen G-1000 Trousers feature a comfortable waistband with velcro adjustments on the sides to finely tune the fit and a zippered fly and press button closure for easy access when nature calls.
The trousers offer plenty of storage options for versatile and functional outdoor use. You'll find two zippered hand pockets and two generously sized zippered leg pockets with a transceiver and ski pass holder inside. These pockets are also ideal for keeping various trail essentials and small tools close at hand.
Zippered openings along the thighs provide effective ventilation should you start to work up a sweat. To tailor the ventilation levels, simply open the zips more or less to adjust airflow levels.
The bottom of the legs are reinforced with super tough Corylon patches to protect the trousers from abrasion caused by chunky mountaineering/ ski boots, crampons and rugged mountainsides. Adjustable leg endings with laminated plackets allow you to achieve the perfect fit around various footwear while still providing protection from the elements. Internal elasticated snow gaiters prevent your trousers from filling with snow on fresh powder routes.
The trousers feature pre-shaped knees to maximise freedom of movement for various mountain adventures, whilst a generous fit provides space for layering with thicker baselayers on cold days.
The knees and seat of the trousers feature Fjallraven's Hydratic lining which provides waterproof protection for added mountain versatility, allowing you to kneel or sit down on damp ground or snow, without getting a soggy bottom. As mentioned above, the trousers can also be enhanced with Greenland Wax to suit different personal preferences or climatic conditions to increase the level of weather protection.
