New Fjallraven Keb Agile Trousers

[Dobermann]

Fjallraven have just announced a new more lightweight version of their Keb Trousers, the Keb Agile: https://www.fjallraven.com/uk/en-gb/men/trousers/trekking-trousers/keb-agile-trousers-m

I don't think they're on the US site yet, but that page has the details.

For those who like the original Kebs such as @Formidilosus and others, will be interesting to hear your field evals of these.

Those look nice. Kebs are a little heavy for warm weather, these look like a better option for spring and fall temps

Looks like they got rid of the normal G1000 and mixed more of their stretchy fabric. I find the original Kebs to be pretty breathable already. I wonder if they will make these same updates to the Lappland series which is their hunting modified line that is based off the Keb. They usually use quieter fabric and quiet buttons, etc.

Those will probably be a good warmer weather option, and more stretch will help for those who squat. For anything below 60’ish degrees the waxable G1000 and the durability it offers is good is kind of unique.

In any case, I’m sure I’ll get a pair at some point.

I’d own their pants but why no back pockets?

 

[jd1006]

The swedes like to sit a lot. They don’t see the comfort in having things in your back pockets.

What are you carrying in back pockets while hiking or hunting? My wallet stays in my vehicle, nothing I need to buy on the mountain.

I am not sure why any pants come with back pockets I never use them on any pants. Who wants to sit on things?

Bringing up an old thread here.

I’ve used the regular Keb pants, the Vidda pro pants, the Vidda pro ventilated pants , and the Vidda pro lite pants exclusively for the last few years now.

I added a pair of the Keb Agiles to my arsenal about a year ago, and for where/how I hunt; if I had to pick only one pair of pants to own, these would be the ones!

They are just the perfect all around pants. Great stretch, excellent durability, waxable G1000 for waterproofing, perfect pockets, slots for knee pads, and 40% lighter than the regular Keb Trousers.

Just bought a second pair, ready to get some blood on them!

Good to hear - that's enough for me to finally try some out.

And you've solved a mystery ... the orange ones are on sale on multiple sites, but not the other colours. I've always wondered 'Who the heck would buy those?' Of course, I was forgetting our good friend @mxgsfmdpx

They’ve probably only sold two pairs and I own them both.

Only two? You disappoint me ...

Thanks for reporting back, I've had that Fjallraven tab open on my laptop since we exchanged messages months ago.

I can finally close it...

Ordering based off this thread given I love the Kebs but pretty warm for me. @mxgsfmdpx , you find a preferred knee pad for the Fjallraven pants?

I use a very minimal knee pad that I don’t notice when hiking and climbing, not sure who makes it sorry. My sewed in an elastic band to help keep them in place which helps.

I had a pair of the Keb Gaiter pants and used them off and on leading up to a 10 day backpacking hunt. Other than rain gear and my base layer these were the only pants I brought. On the third day I squatted down to fix a tipi stake and the threads in the crotch unraveled. I used Leuko tape to keep the stitching from unraveling further. When I got home, I emailed their warranty department since I believed it as a defect due to it being the stitching.
Long story short I was not impressed with the customer service. They didn’t have the pant in stock for an exchange and they refused to refund me my money. Eventually I asked for my pants back and said I would find a local seamstress to fix them. I was told that wasn’t possible because my pants went to some place where they would be used for spare parts on other warranty repairs. They then gave me a choice between picking an item at a similar MSRP or getting a $230 gift card and repurchasing when they’re back in stock. The pants are listed for $250…
The entire ordeal took about 3 months and now I have a gift card to a company I don’t really want to purchase from again and a balance on that gift card too small to purchase what I originally purchased.

I did like the pants though…
