Rugged, yet comfortable.

We built the Shenanigan Pants to be the most rugged everyday pant in your lineup, tough enough for trail missions yet comfortable enough for everything else you get into. The magic is in the unique nylon twill fabric that looks and feels like a softer, stretchier version of denim without the swooshy noise of typical outdoor pants. It is lightweight, durable, and dries quickly when the weather goes sideways.

A gusseted construction gives you unrestricted movement on steep trails or airport sprints, while the grippy waistband and internal G hook belt keep everything securely in place. Mesh lined pockets manage heat and moisture, and the combination of front, rear, and side zip pockets gives you more than enough storage for daily carry, travel essentials, and whatever small items you usually lose.

From trail days to workdays to the kind of days that blur the line between the two, the Shenanigan Pants deliver dependable comfort, clean style, and real performance. They are built to take a beating and keep coming back for more.

Great pants for life or for a trek

Great pants for life or for a trek. The material and build quality are great. They are comfortable and look nice enough to be work everyday but rugged enough to be used for hikes and treks. Very happy with these pants. I love the integrated belt. It’s lightweight and the clasp feels like a solid material.

I've been considering buying a pair of KETL pants for ages as I have been looking for something

I've been considering buying a pair of KETL pants for ages as I have been looking for something that would hold up under regular use in different environments. I work in the outdoor industry (Bungee Jumping), in WV, so clothing that can endure all types of conditions and weather is vital for comfort.
I HATE buying clothing online because I have been burnt so many times with the wrong fit, style etc but after reading positive reviews, I decided to take a chance on a pair of black, slim Shenanigan Pants. I am SO happy with everything about them so far and I am wearing them most days for work since I received them.
They are very comfortable and flex with my movements. The slim fit is perfect and not too Skinny. The external waist belt has a hook and loop type design and secures the waist band well, along with the "sticky" band that is thoughtfully placed around the internal waistband area to help the pants stay exactly where they are meant to be, all day long. Literally.
Lastly, the material is very comfortable and seems to wipe scuffs or dirt off quite easily.
I am going to be taking a trip to Europe soon and these pants will definitely be going with me as I have a feeling they will make a great travel companion as well.
For the KETL team- Well done! Very impressed so far with the quality of your design and it's very nice to know that if i ever need repairs, that will be taken care of as well. If you have any KETL logo T's lying around anywhere and feel like shooting one my way, I would wear the heck out of it at my jump site for ya! :)

These have become my favorite pants. Incredibly comfortable, really well made. Love the knife pocket! I really like Khul when they first came out, but they wear out on me too fast for the price. These are my new go to pants.

These are the pants that started my interest in KETL Mtn

These are the pants that started my interest in KETL Mtn. Products. When I saw these pants, I had to try them. I liked the materials they are made from, the quality is very good. I felt there wasn’t a lot of stretch in the waist due to the built in belt. The sizing for me was very complicated. One size was too big, size down, and it was small .If they didn’t have the belt, they probably would have been my favorite pants.

Excellent pants

Excellent pants. Light weight. Zipper in back pockets and side pocket. Loop in front and back. Back pockets have holes to allow for quick drying. I wore them out on trail and in airport. Very functional and comfortable.

My favorite

These pants are epic.

I had got my first pair about 7 months ago and they were good. The fit was a little loose, no biggie.

They revamped the fit and added the belt strap retention loop and the new version is a significant upgrade from the previously awesome pants.

Lifetime warranty, good fit, good quality, with prices that aren't completely absurd. I'm in.

Purchased for Hiking/Backpacking

I previously purchased a pair of the Tomfoolery pants for traveling but was looking for a pair to wear when I'm backpacking or hiking. I bought these in May and finally took them out to do some hiking last month. I love the fit and how they are a little more breathable material than the Tomfoolery pants which makes them better for hiking and being outside. I love the built in belt and can definitely see myself taking these for when I travel. These are a great addition to my other pants from ketl mtn...now I'm thinking I might get a pair of the straight fit too.

Awesome pants

I love the thought and attention to detail this company puts into their products. The Shenanigan pants are no exception, the type of material used, the weight/thickness, the cut, the unique inside strip that keeps the pants from running down, the built in belt. Looks like they have just upgraded these pants with something to hold the excess belt that may hang down. Way to listen to your customer Ketl Mtn. Can't wait to pick up the other 2 colors. Keep up the good work!

Incredibly versatile!

Incredibly versatile pair of pants, it can do just about anything I threw at it on a recent family vacation to Alaska, yet I found myself thinking I could wear them year round no matter where or what the weather, light enough to wear solo or layer in colder conditions. I'm a HUGE fan of these pants!!

I need to carry my epipens while traveling. They are 6.25 inches long and 3 inches wide and 1.25 inches thick. Will they fit in the side zip pocket so I don't lose them?

KETL Mtn. Apparel

Solid question! The pocket measures about 9"x3.5". The fabric is mesh and stretchy so I don't imagine you would have any issues fitting an epipen comfortably inside there.
