Reply to comment by Hemayat in Which of the international clothing brands have durable quality? by _SlowRain_

Fjallraven has good trekking trousers, but they are absolutely not bifl. Buy it for season, much rather. At least in my case, but I have owned a lot of fjallraven trousers and they all tear out the arse, crotch and the pockets, for some reason

Sounds like DoctorBonkus’ other title is Big Booty Judy and they are doing all the squats and never missing leg day!

Jokes aside that is disappointing to hear. I have a parka by them I love and is great quality, but it (and most likely your pants) was made after they moved a lot of the manufacturing out of Sweden. Supposedly quality declined a lot then.

Lol, I certainly have larger thighs, but yes, I probably buy a pair of trousers each year. It is really a shame! I have a Greenland jacket and have had it for 12 years or so, it just keeps on giving.

I love my Greenland jacket. It is the first Fjallraven item I got years ago and it is still in perfect condition.

I’m sorry to hear about your experience with the pants. I actually don’t own a pair yet but was planning on getting one given my experience with their other products. I’ll be rethinking that now. Thank you!

That’s crazy considering how wildly overpriced they are.

i’ve never heard anything good about them until this thread. i always thought they were just another gimmicky import brand that people wore to look cool.

It really depends, their trousers are bad, but their anoraks and buttoned shirts are really good, as well as their gear; tents and bags really stand up.

My partner absolutely loves their outdoor leggings. The zipper of a side pocket did start to come unthreaded on one pair of hers once, but she dropped them off at the store and a couple weeks later they were repaired free of charge. So they did start to fail but they just handled it, which works for me ...

What? Really? Are you sure you arent buying fakes? I highly rate the brand for thier quality. Fjallraven is up there with Patigonia imo

Overall the brand is good. But their trousers are shit compared to the price
