What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “I’ve worn these pants everywhere from hot summer hikes to shoulder-season backpacking, and they’re impressively versatile. The curved fit is noticeably more comfortable when moving uphill, and the stretch panels really shine on scrambles. I love being able to open the side zips for airflow without stopping—huge on long climbs.” We rely on the Keb Curved Trouser when our routes take us through brushy valleys, rocky switchbacks, and steep alpine terrain. Designed by Fjallraven for hikers who don’t shy away from rough trails, these pants balance durability and comfort so we can keep moving no matter the season. From cool morning starts to sun-soaked afternoons, they adapt as conditions change. The tough G-1000 fabric resists abrasion and manages moisture, while stretch panels and articulated knees let us step high and move freely when the trail turns technical. Venting zippers along the thighs and calves dump heat on the climb, and adjustable cuffs with lace hooks keep debris out when we’re pushing through loose terrain. With a high-waisted, curved fit and roomy thigh pockets, these trousers are built for long, demanding days on foot.
