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.

Pants are well made and fit just right. Comfortable and they stay put thanks to the waistband. The fabric is durable and seems to hold up well.

Fantastic Pants for Almost Every Situation

Fantastic Pants for Almost Every Situation

I bought these pants looking for something to travel with and to hike with. Right when they got here I was so excited that I wore them to work several days in a row. They don't feel out of place at work, and they work excellent for hiking / adventuring / exploring.

The material isn't heavy or jean like, but also doesn't "swish" as much as my single pair of Fjall's do. It feels like a perfect compromise of tough but light. I haven't done any serious scraping of the pants against rough surfaces but I don't have any concerns either due to Ketl's fantastic warranty.

The picture I'm including is from a long day of wheeling in Colorado, in which I took a little break and did a trail run as well. These pants worked great and they are my new staple in my limited selection of pants. I wouldn't set out from my house to trail run in them, but if the mood strikes they won't impede you.

My only real request is that the key loop and side zipper pocket are only on one side. Basically if I have my keys on the key loop on the hip and I get in my truck, the keys drag across the seat (right hand side key loop, left hand drive vehicle). The zipper pocket, the Skidmark pants have the zipper pocket on both thighs and so my brain just assumes there's one on each side of these pants as well.

Long story short? A+. I'll order another pair when they come back in stock in my size in the brown!

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.
