Gear that goes where you go — crafted with nature, not against it.
Fjällräven Australia: High quality hiking gear that lasts a lifetime
Fjällräven was born in a Swedish basement in 1960 — not in a boardroom. Founder Åke Nordin built his first backpack from scratch because nothing on the market was good enough. More than six decades later, that same stubbornness about quality is woven into every piece of Fjällräven gear we stock at PAST Outdoors.
Whether you're planning a multi-day hike through the Australian bush, tackling a cold-weather trail, or simply want clothing that keeps up with the way you live, Fjällräven delivers on the promise of gear that genuinely lasts. For our full breakdown, read our article Fjällräven Australia: the ultimate gear review.
When it comes to Fjällräven hiking pants, the range covers everything from technical mountaineering builds to lightweight trail-ready designs. Here are the standouts.
Fjällräven Keb pants Men's Hiking Pants
The Fjällräven Keb pants are widely regarded as the gold standard of technical trekking trousers, and it's easy to see why. Built from a combination of stretch fabric and Fjällräven's signature G-1000 Eco material — made from 65% recycled polyester and 35% organic cotton — the Keb trousers deliver exceptional durability without sacrificing freedom of movement. 
Our founder Dave Parker hiking in New Zealand, wearing his favourite hiking pants the Fjallraven Keb's.
Two-way side ventilation zippers and additional calf vents let you regulate temperature on the go, while the generously pocketed design (two hand pockets, two leg pockets with buttoned flaps, and an interior mesh pocket) means everything has its place. 
There's also provision for optional knee pads, making these an exceptionally versatile choice across seasons and terrain types. If you're serious about Fjällräven hiking pants, the Keb is where to start. You can also read our guide to men's trekking pants and hiking trousers to help you find the right fit.
Fjällräven Abisko Hybrid Trail Trousers zip-off Men's
Versatility is the headline feature of the Abisko Hybrid Trail Trousers. The zip-off leg design means one pair of trousers covers you from full-length hiking pants through to warm-weather shorts in seconds — ideal for the unpredictable conditions that Australian trails can throw at you. 
The hybrid construction blends G-1000 fabric in high-wear zones with a stretch panel for unrestricted movement, giving you the durability of a technical trouser with the comfort of something you could wear all day. A practical choice for hikers who want to pack light without compromising on performance.
Fjällräven Vidda Pro Ventilated Trousers
The Vidda Pro Ventilated Trousers bring a slightly lighter, more breathable build to the classic Vidda Pro DNA. Built from G-1000 Eco in the high-wear areas with ventilated mesh panels along the inner thighs, these trousers are engineered specifically for high-output hiking in warmer conditions — making them a natural fit for Australian summers and shoulder seasons. Tough where it matters, breathable where you need it. For women's options in a similar category, read our guide to the best trekking pants for women — tried and tested.

"These pants are tough & durable yet comfortable, perfect for a range of outdoor activities. I plan to purchase another pair in the future."
- James Wilson, Product Review
What makes Fjällräven hiking pants so enduringly popular isn't just the technical specification — it's the philosophy behind them. Every pair is built to last years, not seasons, using materials like G-1000 Eco that are designed to be repaired and re-waxed rather than replaced. It's a standard of quality that has made Fjällräven one of the most trusted outdoor brands in the world, and one that carries through every category in their range. That same commitment to longevity and considered design is just as evident in the way they approach their tops and shirts.
Layering with Fjällräven: tops built for the outdoors
Fjällräven Abisko Wool men's long sleeve thermal top
Merino wool has long been a favourite of serious hikers for its natural temperature regulation, odour resistance, and comfort against the skin. The Abisko Wool Long Sleeve Top brings all of that to a Fjällräven-standard build — it performs as a standalone layer on cooler mornings and as an efficient base layer when the temperature drops further. Thoughtfully cut for active movement, it's a piece that earns its place in the pack whether you're on trail or around camp.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cosy comfort all day
"I recently picked up the Fjällräven Abisko warm long sleeve thermal top and honestly, it's been a game changer for chilly mornings and brisk evenings. The material feels soft against my skin, offering just the right amount of snug warmth without being bulky. A winner!"
- Andie Stuart, Product Review
Fjällräven Övik Lite Flannel Shirt
Not everything needs to be technical. The Övik Lite Flannel Shirt is Fjällräven's answer to the question of what to wear when the day's hiking is done and the camp chair is calling. 
Woven from a lightweight flannel that sits comfortably between casual and capable, it layers easily over base layers and under a shell without adding bulk. Timeless Scandinavian design, natural materials, and the kind of quiet attention to detail that Fjällräven is known for. A shirt you'll reach for again and again.
Fjällräven's reputation hasn't been built on marketing — it's been built on word of mouth from hikers, trekkers, and outdoor enthusiasts who have trusted the brand across decades and continents. From the Swedish high coast to the Australian bush, Fjällräven gear is chosen by people who refuse to compromise on quality. It's that loyalty — earned one genuinely outstanding product at a time — that makes their accessories worth paying attention to. Because when a brand holds every beanie, belt, and hip pack to the same exacting standard as their most technical trekking trousers, you notice the difference.
The Fjällräven High Coast hip pack
The Fjällräven High Coast hip pack is one of our most popular smaller carry solutions, and for good reason. Compact, tough, and thoughtfully organised, it holds everything you need for a day out without the bulk of a full pack — phone, snacks, sunscreen, keys, and a light layer all fit comfortably.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Fjällräven High Coast Hip Pack stands out for its accessable design, ample storage, and durability, making it an ideal choice for the Kokoda Track. Its comfort and ease of use will allow to focus on the trek rather than fiddling with my navigation equipment.
Preparing for the Kokoda trip, i have found this hip pack invaluable for carrying my essentials while keeping your hands free for navigation and snacks. It is essentail bit of kit for walking.
- Dunbavin Paul, Product Review
The durable canvas construction and clean design mean it transitions seamlessly from trail to town, making it a genuinely everyday piece as much as an outdoor essential. Available in a range of earthy, distinctly Fjällräven colourways.

Fjällräven Australia: high quality hiking clothing
Frequently Asked Questions
Fjällräven was founded in 1960 by Åke Nordin in Sweden. It all began when Åke — frustrated with the gear available to him — built a wooden-framed backpack in his own basement using his mother's sewing machine and his father's tools. That spirit of practical problem-solving became the foundation of everything the brand stands for today.
The range at PAST Outdoors covers a broad spectrum of outdoor gear — from trekking trousers like the Keb and Vidda Pro, to fleece jackets, flannel shirts, wool thermal tops, backpacks, hip packs, travel bags, hats, beanies, and accessories like belts and knee pads. Whether you're heading into the backcountry or just need hardwearing everyday outdoor clothing, there's something in the lineup for you.
Sustainability is central to Fjällräven's identity. Since the new millennium, the brand has launched initiatives including Eco-Shell fabrics, a Down Promise, and the Fjällräven Way — its internal code of conduct. The guiding philosophy is to develop products on nature's terms, not against them. Products like the Greenland Wax are a great example — a simple, long-lasting treatment that helps extend the life of your gear rather than replacing it.
Many Fjällräven products — particularly those made from their iconic G-1000 fabric — are designed to be re-waxed with Fjällräven Greenland Wax to restore water resistance and durability over time. This approach reflects the brand's repair-over-replace philosophy, meaning your gear can genuinely last decades with the right care.
Not at all. From the very beginning, Åke Nordin's vision was to make nature accessible to more people — not just elite trekkers, but anyone with a love of the outdoors. The Fjallraven range at PAST Outdoors reflects this — you'll find everything from technical multi-day hiking trousers right through to everyday essentials like the Skule 28L daypack, flannel shirts, and casual accessories that transition seamlessly from trail to town.
Fjällräven is Swedish for "the arctic fox." The company was founded in 1960 by Åke Nordin from Örnsköldsvik in northern Sweden - a region known for its mountains, forests, and wildlife. The Arctic Fox became the brand's symbol because it embodies the same qualities Fjällräven builds into every product: resilience, adaptability, and a deep connection to wild northern landscapes.
G-1000 is Fjällräven's signature proprietary fabric and the backbone of much of their clothing range — including the Vidda Pro, Keb, and Barents Pro trousers available at PAST Outdoors. It's a densely woven fabric made from 65% polyester and 35% cotton, and by using Greenland Wax, it's adaptable to a whole variety of different climatic conditions. Since its launch in 1968, all versions are hardwearing, ventilating, wind-resistant, and offer UV protection.
By adding Greenland Wax they become water-resistant too, and even more wind-resistant and durable. The Eco versions now use recycled polyester and organic cotton, making it one of the more responsibly produced performance fabrics on the market.
It depends on what you value — but for most buyers, yes. Fjällräven backpacks and gear are generally considered worth the price because of their durability, classic design, and eco-friendly approach.
Their long-lasting, water-resistant materials and practical design make them a tough, adaptable option for travellers, hikers, and commuters alike.
The key value proposition is longevity over cheapness — a pair of Keb trousers or a Vidda Pro that lasts a decade with proper care outperforms several cheaper replacements both economically and environmentally. Fjällräven also provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty to original purchasers with proof of purchase from an authorised seller, Fjallraven which adds significant peace of mind to the investment.
We do not discount our products, instead we offer a brilliant rewards system, so our customers receive discounts almost every time they purchase.
Our rewards program means you can earn reward points on every purchase and redeem for discounts on future purchases. Learn more about our rewards program and how you can save now.
