I have had these trousers since 2023-05-08 and I have worn them for about 120 days. Let me tell you about how they ruined my opinion of all other trousers forever! The problem with all other trousers is that they aren't stretchy like these, if you go back to standard material trousers after these, good luck, you're bottom half will feel like it's trapped in cage. Denim? Canvas? Work Pants? Nah, don't even bother trying to put those on again. Now, listen here feller, I live up in the rocky mountains of Colorado, I'm a walker, a hiker, a biker, a rock climber, a skier, a split boarder, a nordic skater, a paraglider a caver, a canyoneer, a tree climber, a farmer, and I go on several long expeditions a year. These trousers are GREAT for everything, EXCEPT skiing, boarding, caving, and wet canyons. I've sure beat the heck out of them, and they are still functioning. I prefer wearing them on days when I'm required to be in the concrete jungle as well. I'm knocking a star for two reasons: 1. They don't have a rear belt loop aligned with where your spine is. That means if you prefer suspenders and are used to wearing a Y back, yer gonna have to get creative or buy new suspenders. 2. The cuffs have two button placements and are fixed. This really sucks, I wish they made them like the bottoms of the normal Keb Trousers, where there's a strip of g100 inside a hollow at the bottom with 3 different buttons. Which you can cinch all the way out and button up so they stay at the ankle. Instead, when I'm wearing climbing shoes I have to roll up the cuffs, definitely annoying.
I have owned multiple pairs of Fjallraven trousers and these are by far my favorite. I previously owned the regular Kebs and although they are more durable and warmer, they were never the pants I picked for multi-day excursions or when getting wet was a possibility. The agiles dry way faster than the Kebs and still have a nice amount of pockets and durability. The only downside is their are no solid colour options. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a more breathable/stretchy alternative to the Kebs or any other G-1000 trouser. They can easily be used as four season pants when paired with a heavyweight long-john.
I thought my Vidda Pro's were the best trousers I had...until I picked up a pair of Keb Agile's in the sale. Hands (or legs) down the best trekking and general wear trousers I have ever bought in 35 plus years of trekking and hiking around the globe. Their first proper test was a hike and snowmobile up Langjokull glacier in Iceland and they performed brilliantly. The position of the thigh pockets is genius, and gives you easy access to items when sitting. The reinforced areas are perfect, especially the inner calf areas. These are going to get a lot of use and I expect them to be as durable and hard wearing as all the many other bits of Fjallraven kit that I own.
Bought these in late May and really tried to like them, but the fit is absolutely ridiculous. The leg tapers so extremely that it squeezes your calves while the thighs are too large, making it look like you’re wearing Jodhpurs. Definitely not worth it for the price.
Love these, own 3 pair now (different colors...). Its like an everyday/everything pant for men. For winter, I use the regular Keb pant daily, but for Spring/Summer/Fall the Agile is perfect.
After searching for a long time for the perfect outdoor, hiking, and trekking trousers, I’m really happy with this purchase. I only wish I hadn’t wasted money on so many cheaper brands before finding these. It’s still early to say how long they’ll last, but if they hold up well, they’re absolutely worth the investment. I initially ordered just one pair, but after trying them on, I was convinced the hype was real—they look premium and feel fantastic. I ended up ordering a couple more and now wear them daily because of their comfort and versatility. Highly recommended!
Bought 1 day ago, worn once and the knee has a hole in it already, in the G-1000 knee patch! Was working with a  mountain rescue team capturing content. Most of the journey was in a vehicle so the actual walking distance was only 4KM so very little use. Kneeled down a couple of times to get some shots, terrain was rounded rock with vegetation of heather etc. On way back one of the team pointed out the hole, saying he has a a similar pair that are years old and still going strong. Will return to store and see what happens!
They nailed it on these pants for sure. Great features and fabric choices. The short 30" inseam means that I don't need tailoring and the articulated knees aren't down at the top of my ankle. The cut on these pants is also really good. Enough crotch room along with the stretch fabric means that you can actually move freely and step high without the pants riding up, causing chafing, or becoming uncomfortable during use. Second favorite pants in the lineup now behind the abisko trekking lite trouser. Great lineup of colors available in the 30" inseam, which is such a "gift" to the average height american guy who is around 5'8" with a 30" inseam. Please expand that to all the other pants, its great to see the option available across the whole color lineup basically.
I've got a bunch of different Fjallraven pants and these are nice. For close to $200 they're very expensive for what you get. The main stretchy material is comfortable, but doesn't seem super resilient. There is no venting, no cuff-boot-hook & no reinforcement of the bum. I get much more value in the regular Keb trousers for an extra $40.
These fit a little differently than the regular Keb Trousers, but they are definitely still well styled/fitted. The material is lighter and better suited for spring/summer weather. Overall, the Agile Keb Trousers are almost just as durable as the regular Keb Trousers. Fjallraven really does make the most durable and comfortable clothes for severe conditions and daily abuse. I’ll definitely buy these pants again in the future.
