The trouser’s sewn-in articulated knees provide and an excellent range of movement, hiking, kneeling, tree climbing, you name it, all have a very natural movement that goes completely unrestricted. This construction certainly makes for an almost indestructible feeling garment, the stitching is excellent and the metal components used such as the poppers and zippers are superbly reliable and strong. It’s an old-fashioned, but very effective idea for optimum performance in the outdoors.įjällräven certainly knows what they’re doing with these trousers and it shows, the trousers are entirely constructed from G-1000 original and are reinforced on both the rear and knees, where most pressure will be placed on the fabric. This means that you can apply this wax to different areas of the trousers to 1 – optimise the water resistance in areas such as the front, and ankles forcing water to run off instead of absorbing into the fabric whilst 2 – keep hotter areas such as the backs of the knees supremely breathable. Finally, G-1000 is adaptable – the water resistance of the garment can be customised to your needs using Greenland Wax, Fjällräven’s own beeswax, and paraffin hybrid which can be applied and heat-treated in using an iron. What the cotton does add is durability, breathability, and very nice next-to-skin comfort. Despite the trouser cotton content, I can absolutely promise you that the trousers are very quick drying thanks to their polyester content. The fabric also breathes very well during hard activity, which makes it excellently versatile year-round, protective against the chill, and well ventilated when hot. Due to its tight weave, it is also windproof, making it ideal for chilly days wandering the hills and peaks year-round. It is mosquito-proof meaning that thanks to the tough weave of the fabric, the biters can’t penetrate making it a good option for warm-season walking and camping. ![]() It is very durable, perfect for hardworking gear which is often brushing against hard abrasive surfaces such as a rough woodland floor or sharp Dartmoor granite. This is Fjällräven’s very special polycotton blend material which they have used across their range on the majority of their garments. To give you a brief summary of the many features hidden within the trousers I’ve annotated a picture here, I’m going to unpack each feature as we go.Īs you can see, with such a great pair of trousers, there is a fair amount of things to cover and what better place to start than with Fjällräven’s very special fabric, G-1000.

I can confidently say that these are the most dependable pair of trousers I have owned, I trust them greatly to perform as I need them to and they have not let me down once. In 2019 I went trekking in Sweden for 5 nights, snowshoeing over up to 3 feet of snow in conditions as cold as –30 ͦc, I wore these trousers every day with some merino base leggings underneath. ![]() ![]() My trousers have been with me across much of the UK including countless walks and wild camps on Dartmoor, many bushcraft and campfire sessions in the woods, up mountains in the lake district, around the South West coast path, and beyond our shores. Scandinavia, in general, produces some of the world’s best outdoor gear, we all know it!
