Improved Fit

Familiarity:

I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

Size Bought:

32/48

I ordered these pants in the same size as other Fjallraven pants and shorts owned. They are considerably smaller through the waist, hip and thigh so I returned. Per Fjallraven site: "If you’re already a fan of our trousers, you should order a size up in our Improved Fit. If this is your first pair of trousers, check our Size Guide to find your best fit." I wish this had been included on the Backcountry description also! Pants seem great other than sizing

Very poor durability

After less than 8 hours of hiking through tall grass (prairie), holes were worn through the G1000 fabric in the pant cuffs. By the time I had worn them 12 times hiking through prairie, multiple holes were worn through in the G1000 fabric on the knees and cuffs, and stitching was coming out of multiple locations. I did not hike through brambles, thorns or heavy brush and was really disappointed at how non-durable the G1000 fabric has been. I very much appreciate the built-in gaiters/cuff hook and how light and flexible the pants are (reduces fatigue on long hikes). Overall, the design is good and a few small improvements in design could make a big difference in functionality. If you want to look good during a photo shoot or you only hike on groomed, highly maintained trails these might be just the pants you're looking for. I hike off trail for hundreds of miles each year for work and recreation - these pants wore through quicker than any pair of pants I can think of that I've owned in the 38+ years I've been in my career in natural resources. For the price, the durability of these pants is horrible. Very disappointing.

Fit and Function are Great!

These pants are fantastic. The materials are some of the best for hiking and durability. With a base layer underneath, they will definitely help keep me warm. I love all the features they have too, very well thought out design!

Very stretchy pants

I bought these pants a month ago,and til now i’m very pleased with the pants. For summer adventures is it very usefull

The Perfect Pant!

I replaced two pairs of worn-out old lighweight Fjallraven trousers with this newer design and couldn't be happier. They are form fitting, functional and fun to wear. I have worn one of the two pair everyday during my annual 30 Days of Dawn photo challenge, chasing sunrise every morning and these trousers perfomed perfectly. I added a lightweight baselayer for a few colder days but still maintained the great flexible feel these pants offer in spades. TOP NOTCH TROUSERS!

Best Pants

I've had roughly 3 pairs by now and will continue to buy them

Durability

I bought this a month ago and I’m very pleased. Have not yet how to use the wax. I booked trees, choker, set, work in the mountains, logging seven days a week 12 hour days. These pants have held off so far. I wish they had suspender buttons in the back.

Material is Exceptional - Fit is not

I really wish these pants worked for me. The material combination is pretty brilliant, as the faced lowers and seat feel very durable and the stretch and breathability of the remainder of the pant is great. The main drawback to me is the fit. The pants are incredibly tight thru the thighs, crotch and seat, in relationship to the waist size of the pant. I am typically a men’s 36 or 38 waist depending on the pant and purchased a 38 in these to account for the tightness in the legs and seat. While the waist fit well, the legs and seats were just too snug for comfortable use so I ended up returning them. These are a great pant, but a relaxed version would improve the fit for some of us.
