So is the Keb the best Fjallraven trouser? If you find yourself wanting a trouser with excellent freedom of movement but still wanting some protection from the elements and your surroundings then we can think of no better! However, if your needs differ then there are other Fjallraven trousers up to the task! Whether you favour comfort or durability there are many models to choose from that offer differing blends of the two. G-1000 is a fabric that can be adapted to suit the environments you're heading into. Using Fjallraven Greenland Wax, you can improve the wind and water resistance for more demanding and unpredictable weather, whilst washing this out improves breathability for warmer climates. Another remarkable advantage to water resistant material over waterproof material, is the time taken to dry, either on the go from the heat radiating off your body, or in camp over a fire. One occasion springs to mind, climbing Torridon in Scotland, occasional downpours were forecast, and so I opted for my water resistant shell. A squall of rain would come in, I would get wet through, but within half an hour I would be fairly dry again. Even when wet, the shell would act as a barrier against the wind. Had the forecast predicted constant downpours, I would of course consider a waterproof shell. Sweating is an important body function, but not always a welcome one. It is your body’s response to heat, the moisture will evaporate off your body, administering a cooling effect. When moving over rugged terrain, your work rate increases, and if not monitored carefully your body will likely respond by sweating, even in cold conditions. We want to mitigate this by layering appropriately, otherwise your body temperature will drop too far, and may be at risk not hypothermia as well as dehydration. This is not always possible, so in case we do sweat, we want to give that moisture every chance of escaping. Now available in different leg lengths and with our tailoring service should you need them shorter.

Original; the original blend of 65% polyester and 35 %cotton, tightly woven into a tough, water resistant, breathable cloth. Heavy Duty; sacrifices a bit of weight and breathability for more water resistance and durability. Comes in Eco variations* One other key feature of the material is the adaptability. With Fjällräven’s Greenland Wax, one can quite easily impregnate their G-1000 clothing to improve the water resistance. It’s important to note, that there are three expressions that are often misinterpreted: As you may have gathered by now there is no definite answer to the question “which Fjallraven trouser is the best?” Anyone attempting to sell you the “Best trouser Fjallraven make” shouldn’t be trusted!Silent; a smooth and soft variant, making less noise when rubbed.

Then when winter hits you simply add some layers of wax to boost your trousers' weather resistance. Greenland Wax G-1000 turns your 1-2 season kit into a 4 season wonder for minimal extra cost. At Fjallraven no decision is taken lightly. When considering a material Fjallraven will evaluate its efficiency, functional qualities, chemical composition and the amount they’ll need before making a choice. Fjallraven use a Preferred Materials And Fibres List that grades materials in terms of their impact on the environment. And this list is constantly updated, reflecting new research and new materials. In 2012 Fjallraven decided to switch to fluorocarbon-free impregnation throughout its full product range.

Ask a friend to take your measurements while standing in a straight and relaxed position without shoes. Remember that the tape measure should not be pulled too tight around the body but not be too loose either.

However, remarkable though G-1000 is, there are conditions where it may not be appropriate. And although Fjällräven have other materials to hand, their design team have developed a range of G-1000 variants to satisfy all parties:
