I don't hike-and I don't even know what bushcraft means-but I watched this whole video because I just find this man's calm, thoughtful enthusiasm for his pants both soothing and infectious. Surprised but delighted that the algorithm brought me here. 10 out of 10. I wish this guy the best of success in all his pants-reviewing endeavors.
Something about a man and his calm interest in his pants lol
Got them a couple weeks ago and took them on a 25 mile mountain trek with a good part of it off trail. They were fantastic. At one point they were dripping wet and in 20 minutes they were dry again. Super comfortable and the double fabric knees do a great job at keeping your knees dry when keeling on damp ground
In all the reviews I've seen explaining the axe feature, You're the first to actually demonstrate it. Thanks, and Thank you God. PS- I'm waiting for the Abisko zip offs I just ordered. First pair of this brand for me.
this is the review i’ve been looking for. thank you! great stuff man, gettin a pair soon. 👍🏼
I've worn Lowa Zephyr boots for years. Deployments in 120 F heat, mountains, snow, creeks, beaches, everything. I'll always buy the same boot now as they wear out. I just got a pair of Vidda Pro as well. You have good taste man.
"Six foot... Zero."
Great in-depth review and great pronunciations of both "Fjällräven" and the "Gränsfors bruk" axe, you have nothing to apologise for!
Great Review! Thanks for being so detailed!
I already got them and now i'm just watching for positive confirmation, they definitely feel nice.
my last pair got eaten
Hilarious. I just bought them as well and I'm doing the same. Went with Dark Grey. Got em for $90!
Lol
@@GetUpTheMountains dark grey / black too!
@@FABM27 They arrived and they are as awesome as I would have hoped. I'm very fit so I had no problems with the hips being too narrow. I am super impressed by them. Paired the dark grey/black with a silver arcteryx belt and I am stylin'!
Just got a pair and they are the best and most comfortable pants I have ever worn.
Just received these yesterday, and I agree with every single word you said!
Great review of these pants. I feel very much the same way. I love these pants so much I got them in both black and olive and they’re my go-to pants for the outdoors. I’m 6’2” and absolutely recommend the long version especially to keep them secure on hiking boots. The regular version would likely be too short for me.
You do class review and I always enjoy them 👌 iv gotten a pair of there Keb pants.
You always do great videos , take your time and go through things. BTW do you have a review of your watch ?
Great review, and i love my vidda pro trousers - one thing i learned was that by going up a waist size, the length also increases by almost half an inch. If, like me, the extra 2 inches is too much on the long version, that’s something else to try (I went from a 52 being a bit snug and a bit short, to a 54 regular being perfect all round. ALSO - I love the blue fleece you are wearing at around 8:00 - what is it please?
Great review, especially about the length. What is the fleece sweater in the insert footage?
I'm considering buying a pair of these trousers and found the video very helpful.
Great review! thank you so much - I went straight off and bought a pair from your recommendation.
Best pants I think I have ever owned. They are durable enough I can work in them yet stylish enough I feel good wearing them casual.
I really like them still! Using them all the time.
@@ReviewOutdoorGear Already bought my second pair. I'm now contemplating a third, maybe fourth haha :P I've only got the 2tone style right now and I love them so much I'm looking for any excuse to get more i.e. solid colorways like the black Haha
The long ones fit me great, thanks for the tip.
I would love one of these, but bought the Barentz Pro series as those come in UniColor. In these everyone assumes you are a laborer coming to repair something. I was once actually guided to a broken sink while I came for a coffee.
It also comes in uni-colour
These things are tough. The only problem i found. You load them pockets up with 10lb of stuff. But the stitching is very tight. So no tear outs. They take branches dragging on them pretty well over time. As well as kneeling on hard ground. I still use a ground pad for my knees. So if you work outdoors for a living. Get some.
If you look around. You can get them $100.00 US...
Thanks for a very informative video. Just realized I ordered the wrong size haha.
Nice Review! Getting them now =)
to double down on that, an intense outdoorsman myself, Fjällräven is the brand to go to. Their patented materials, like the G1000 (65% poly, 35% cotton) are legit rugged and all my items from them hold till this day, some of them are 10 years+ in use. Can I speak for all of their products? Of course I don't own all products, but can speak for some of their pants, Jackets, insulators, shirts and caps. They even have a so called "Numbers Series", which are hands down high tier premium garments with very high durability. (Note: they are an Outdoor brand. Hiking, bush crafting, camping is what they target. So don't confuse their stuff with ultra rugged, heavy workwear.)
Good to know! Really like all their stuff. I have acquired a lot more items from them since this video.
I have the grey Vidda pro for winter and the sand brown Vidda pro lite for summer (46 and short model, male: 5’8” 56 years, 64kg) maybe i order an olive green Vidda pro extra for my collection in the future, have different Fjallraven shirts and the Anorak nr.8, love their clothes.
Love this video. Thanks!
6'6" tall, I've got EU 52 long (36" waist), I'd say that it's close to being a bit snug around the waist, would probably go for 54 or a smidge bigger in the future.
Useful review. Thanks!
Thank you
How do you think these will do for climbing?
Ordered the full Keb trousers today! Thanks for the video
No problem!!
I assume the amazon link is to the regular length. Not the longer pant leg version.. ?
I am a land surveyor and wear these pants outdoors every day in the course of my job. I'm busting brush and generally being hard on them all the time. I love these pants, BUT there are issues. My oldest pair is about four years old While the fabric is nice and very tough, it is thin and does nothing to protect you from thorny things, etc. (that is not a dis at at all, just a so you know.) Although tough, they have noticeable color fade after many days in the sun. No worries there though, I think it looks great. I have cut a couple of them with saws and the fabric cuts DO NOT RUN - Very good! Pocket placement is OK, but meh. I do like the big pockets thigh-forward, much more comfortable than straight-thigh. The big downfall on these pants is the fly zippers. They suck horribly. Every single pair I have has fly-failed. I noted this on the very first pair i owned and wondered... The teeny non-self-healing zippers on the Fjallravens are just stupid. BUY THESE PANTS!!!, But get with your seamstress to install real YKK zippers immediately. Then I think You'll be happy.
1:51 clearly says YKK zipper - I think yours might be fakes.
@@ruzziasht349 Thanks for your input! When I say "real" YKK zippers, I mean real brass, jean-type YKKs, sorry. The OEM nylon coil zippers are just not up to the task. My pants are not fakes. Bought over multiple years from various vendors, they are all the same and very authentic.
@@WoyLad Ah OK, now I get it, you're an American, you should have said earlier - short legs, bulging belly and a enormous butt puts a lot on stress and strain on a standard Japanese zip. I've not had an issue with Fjallraven, but then again I don't weigh 300lbs.
I just got my ROG sheath and dangler for my Benchmade 162
Took a little longer than expected, but well worth the wait
Quality workmanship!
Thanks for telling us the real size conversion. I would hate to spend that much and then just have to send them back.
Actually its 65% Polyester/35% Cotton ;) Great review !!
Really enjoying your reviews. Like someone said, hipsters choice in the city, walking around and pretending they’re woodworkers...
But the pants are really good quality, I’ve had mine for at least 15 years. Top brand in Sweden. Liked how you even used a Swedish axe 😊

😄😄😄😄😄😄
having them for 15+ years what can You say about their fire sparks resistance? Haven't found any user expirience on that. Seems to be pretty important for those like me who is spending 90% of an outdoor time near fire place.
What color are these pants?
What size are you wearing? What is your waist size? Thanks!!!
Thanks for the review 👍🏻
Is the weight of the fabric closer to Abisko or Keb?
Great video, thanks!
You’re welcome
Are you saying that they are good in hot weather?
what is your belt and where did you get it
What color is that? Dark olive?
What shirt are you wearing in this video?
Just bought a pair
So pumped to wear them and yes they are top shelf
How do you feel about them after 2 years?
@@GetUpTheMountains my favorite pants to wear when doing anything .
I really enjoy the.
@@preppingforbeginners1347 Thanks for your reply! I got a pair coming on Friday; REI sale for $114 with some memberpoints meant it couldn't say no. So happy to hear everyone raving about how good they are. Can't wait!
I realy like to buy this trousers but its a bit weird with the colors. This one looks brown and is mentioned on amazon as dark olive. But on the Fjärräven website, the color dark olive looks like a dark green and not brown. Doas anybody has an explanation ?
Great video. Thank you
IS it normal for them to feel a little tight in the front at the top or is this likely a sign that they are too small? I'm not overwheight by the way.
Hey Eugene, just wondering if these loosen up at all with wearing, they fit perfectly but are SLIGHTLY tight around the hips when sitting down, I'm short so don't really want to go a size up. (I got the ventilated version if that makes any difference) Thanks!
Yes, just a bit, but not too much.
Great review - thank you. Do you have the link to the belt as it did not come up.
Many thanks
Belt is the Conveyor Belt from Arcteryx
Thanks for your review , it is awesome 👏
Thanks for watching!
I tell people I'm six foot zero plus three. Ps 6'3". The 50 long are perfect.
Awesome looking pants my brother. I wish they were more affordable. Please review some budget friendly stuff. God Bless
I have 3 pairs
Grey/black
Dark olive/ black
Sand / brown
Nils blue pair
There expensive but extremely comfortable..
The cheaper pairs of these types of trousers will have sore spots on knees crotch..
The thread used in cheaper trousers really hurts your skin ..
I have never had that problem with fjallraven gear ..
Nice review 👍
I'd like something like this in goretex. I know these are wax treated, but the 60% cotton thing just seems kind of a deal killer for me at that price.
It's the opposite, guy made a mistake. It's 65plastic 35cotton
What boots are those?
I love those pants
You mentioned your waist was 33" -- that's the size I wear (33" x 34" L) in normal jeans. Their chart says 50, but their fit guide says 52. Any input based upon how yours fit?
Great video by the way !!
ArcticFamilyMN, Fjällräven 52 is 34" (waist). I'd say that if you usually wear 33"x34", then you should go for Fjällräven 50 long version
Price ?
For some reason was thinking's this guy has a Russian or Ukranian ancestry, and yeah after looking at your other videos I saw you can speak Russian. Nice review by the way. If you don't mind sharing, what are the shoes and the shirt you are wearing in the first part of the video?
What kind of hatchet is this (5:09)? Great video. I've been looking to get a pair, but wanted to see what others thought first.
Aaron Ratigan grand forest / granfors hand hatchet or small forsest hatchet
I was gonna answer this but then I realized I already answered it
I have a bunch of Fjällräven stuff and they last forever!
Great review, thanks. Are the color Dark Olive?
Yes that is dark olive.
Hello, thanks for the great review. Where are these pants made?
wdsracer China. Used to be Sweden
Hey where can i get those boots/shoes you got...love em
@neilramnath Those are the Lowa Zephyr GTX Mid.
Curious, are hiking pants strictly for hiking or can you wear them to work on casual Fridays? Basically, are there any other uses other than hiking?
I wear my Barents Pro trousers everyday, in the woods, at home, and when I go to the city. The explanation for this is that they are much more comfortable than for example jeans.
What boots are you wearing? Are they waterproof and insulated? How is the grip?
Pants look great but expensive
Looks like Lowa Zephyr
Hi, how have your Vidda Pro pants endured your usage since this video was made, please? Thank you.
Still going strong and looking as good as the day I got them!
Damn it ... WHY did I have to go down this Rabbit Hole ... need these trousers.
hahah feel you bro
what kinda boots were those? look like timberland jungles
nice vid.... yes brother long one fits you much better indeed. amen!
Awesome!
great review! What about the crotch though? is it all g1000 or does it have some stretch like the abiskos?
No
Iknow it's late, but someone else might be reading the comments. The vidda pro are all g-1000, the vidda pro ventilated have the stretch fabric in the crotch, stick to the vidda pro if you want durability, or go abisko if you want breathability. Vidda pro ventilated is like jack of all trades master of none.
great video! what kind of watch is that? many thanks!
Think it's a Torgoen T25
How do these hold up to an ember popping from the fire?
Awesome - unlike nylon
Like your boots , what are they ?
Also got the pants and agree they are great
Those are the Lowa Zephyr boots.
@@ReviewOutdoorGear Best boots. All-time.
@@ReviewOutdoorGear in what colour?? 👍🏼
I’m kinda short! I ordered the Vidda Pro Regular’s but they’re a little too long. What should I do???
just cut them out like a regular pant, and add the bottom strap to it
They will hem them at their store
I'm thinking they might be long on me too at 5'6". how tall are you?
Great video! God bless 😁
Great Review!! I'm 5 foot 7 should i buy the regular or the long version?
I'd go regular, I'm 6ft 195 lbs and bought a ''long'' And had to take them in and get about 7 inches chopped off But if you want to make 100% sure google EU sizing to American sizing
Did you mean "regular or short"? You should be good with the regular man unless you don't want any bunching by your ankle
what is the name of you boots
That mesh pocket are for phones. But you can of course use it for anything you want.
You should check out Lundhags clothes, also great Swedish company 👍
Great review you should also check out swede team they make fantastic outdoor gear...
what color are the long version that you switched to?
He said tarmac I believe. Brown was his older versions.
What was the belt called and what make of watch is that ?? Cheers
Arc'teryx "Conveyer Belt"
Think the watch is a Torgoen T25 but I'm probably wrong 😂😂😂
Sorry I think the watch is a bell& Ross br vi auto
whats the name of the shoes 0:34
This is the dark olive color right?
Yes
How tall you are is not the thing you would want to measure when deciding on the long version or not. People have very differnt body compositions. I am 187 cm and I think the inside of my leg is more than 90 cm, which is pretty long for that height. Some people may have a longer back and shorter legs in the same total height. They are nice pants, but I just got a Bergans one instead for about half the price and Ive been using those for 8 years. And what does God have to do with any of this?
Could you fit a can of bear mace in that side pocket??
Yes
Weird question but can you fart comfortable in those pants because some pants are cut too tight and then it’s not comfortable🤔
International randomized controlled doubled-blinded placebo trials are underway regarding this question.
Praise God!
Don't think so
I am between sizes 48 and 50. Hate it. Went with the 50
ä is pronounced "ea" as in eat, remove the T and say fj[ea]llr[ea]ven not that it matters just for fun :)
fjäll means mountain and räven means fox (Mountainfox)
Wow! Nice insights. Thank you!
Not quite. It’s pronounced more like “eh”, not really like the ea in “eat”. Or the “ai” sound in words like “hair” or “pair”.
Do you have a revew of you LOWA boots?
Not as of yet.
@@ReviewOutdoorGear is it Lowa zephyr gtx mid boots? And if so what colour are those? Need to order me a pair, but want the exact same colour as those 👆🏼
It would be much better if it have the anatomical knees, and elastic belt. Now,
without this features its not comfortable.
well done
On 35C is not ok for hiking.... Pro vida
I like your shoes.
