Is fjallraven a meme?

Fjallraven are either water resistant or breathable, depending on if you used wax or not. The money is far better spent on softshell pants, rab or me or something. More water reistant, breathable, comfortable and lighter. You can prolly get two pairs for 300 dolaroos

Fjallraven pants are the most comfortable /out/ pants ive worn.
10/10 would recommend.

Their shorts are also super nice to wear during summer.

But they are very European in size and if you are a manlet i wouldnt reccomend.

If you are lucky like me and there is a fjallraven store nearby would reccomend you try them on first.

Fuck off, softshells don't hold up to real use.
OP get a pair of fjällräven Barents Pro, and some trouser blousers to go with them. Literally best trousers you can get, and only run like 130€

Well, the legs on Fjällräven pants are longer for the sole reason that you can tailor the optimal length for yourself.

Fjällräven pants might be on the expensive side but they're damn worth it.

For "bushcrafty" stuff where you might be around fire and sharp things a lot, then the hard-wearing cotton canvas style G1000 will hold up better since it won't melt when sparks land on it, but for hiking where mobility is the concern, look at Arcteryx pants, or if you can find them, UF Pro P-40 terrain trousers are supposedly incredibly stretchy in the crotch, which is something you want for hiking.

Fjallraven is a huge meme. Everything they have is overpriced, impractical (waxed cotton in 2017?), and ugly. Their pants are okay but you could do better for less.

I just did a snowboard trip in upper MN and used their wax on a couple cotton outer layers of two hoodies.

I mainly dud it to see if it would work on cotton, but I an a believer in the wax. Can't speak for their clothing though.

I have since applied some to a work/outside hoodie on the hood area and it working great for the ice/rain we are getting in WI now. I may apply some more wax to my upper sleeves and vowel area.

Mfw no one has mentioned Haglofs Rugged II mountain pant.

DYE/out/???

W/e floats your boat friend, if you want to spend that on one pair of pants.

5 bucks for some wax to use on multiple pairs of decent/rugged pair of pants you already own is a bready good deal imo.

Holy shit I remember that vid.

One of the first memes I remember.

OR Ferrosi pants have become my go to for most things. They are comfy, breath well, dry fast, and block most of the weather (they deff get wet if it's really raining though). The only downside to these are they aren't super durable so I have to buy a new pair each year.

Excuse me being potentially retarded but all my pants have the built in buttons to make the bottom tight for hiking in snow. How does one tailor the pants w/o fucking up them

The first viral video I saw

Ya por favor idiotaaa aaaaaah!

I saw that brand in my local out shop. The shop itself is for rich ppl and this brand is too. Better go to thrift shop because no moneys

Pretty much a meme.

I'm in Finland this winter and was super excited to see their stuff in person. Went to a fjallraven store and was underwhelmed. Lots of cotton, made in China, super expensive etc. I don't mind spending money for quality but I just didn't see the point.

Having said that, would love a FR parka for city use. For actual hiking and camping I don't really see the point.

Maybe yours isn't for tailoring then. My pants (Karl) hasn't buttons on the legs.
If the legs are still too long for you, i suppose you either start growing or bringing it to a real tailor.

>I'm in Finland this winter
>expensive stuff is now super expensive
Finland is expensive in the first place.

I suggest you actually try them on for actual hiking.

>>933997
Yes Finland is expensive, but FR costs the same here as intl website.

>>933995
Well they fit me fine I'm 6'5 ". Was just letting anyone shorter know that some pants are made to be tailored like i thought. Which is why id say if there is any way to try them on beforehand, do it.

Thanks for the info
