I ordered these mostly as a work pant that would allow me to work outside on a ranch without restricting my flexibility and range of motion in them - and they exceeded expectations! These pants have withstood barbed wire, briers, and working on my hands and knees and after all that they clean up perfectly in the wash every time. They are fitted enough that I still have shape and feel comfortable wearing them to town, but not so tight they restrict my movement when working. The reinforcements in the butt and knees are a nice added touch, although they can be a little hot when you're in the sun. I had to go up a size to fit through the legs, so the waist is a little big, but overall I love these pants. The best part is - for us tall girls they actually are the right length for once!

These pants are fantastic! I tried them on (wore them around the house/yard for the day), and they are the perfect pant for hiking, climbing, and mountaineering. I’m returning for a size smaller, but I will be anxiously awaiting the new pair. I’m a Fjallraven fan FOR LIFE.
Cheers!

Love these pants for hiking, climbing, and snowshoeing! I gave them an extra wax for the winter months and they are perfect for on snow activities (specifically watching and cheering at my teen's nordic races). Super durable and I get compliments on them everywhere I go (both during outdoor activities or casual settings). Multiple deep and/pr buttoned pockets keep everything safe. I normally wear a size 29 waist and the size 38 in these is perfect. The length is perfect for me - I would normally be a 31 or 32 inseam.

I am so obsessed with the colors that Fjallraven has within all of their pieces, and the Frost Green is no exception. I get compliments wherever I go. And who knew that would happen while hiking up a 14'er. I have worn these all year round, no matter the weather. I throw on a little extra wax for the wet days, and for the warm days the cotton component keeps them breathable.

I've always struggled with finding comfortable pants that are tough enough for the outdoors. I love that I can hike in these in cooler temps and stay warm, or rock scramble and not worry about tearing or snagging on anything. These are great for backpacking and have even worn them for winter hiking and snowshoeing with a fresh layer of wax and baselayer underneath. I wear a 27 pant usually. The 36 fit, but I prefer a 38 since these sit at your true waist.

I've worn these several times and can make the following observations:
They run a tad small. I am a pretty reliable 29 in pants and had to get a EUR 40 (US 30-31). Fitted through hip/thigh, baggy below articulated knees. Generous rise- about 2" above hip bones and 1" below belly button; back rise slightly higher (no crack!!). They seem cut for real women with real bodies and curves, not girls, which I really love (Patagonia, take note). I love the two tone Storm/Night it's a nice navy. Fabric doesn't make noise when walking (which I also appreciate a lot) or stretch at all. They do run a tad long as well (I'm a solid 32" inseam). Bottom cuff has metal hooks for boot laces like a gaiter. All in all, these are durable, quality pants that are comfortable. I wouldn't have kept them at full price, but found them for a deal on Steep & Cheap. Thanks Backcountry! Oh and as a side-note: compared to the Keb pants, these are rigid. I wear a 42 in the Keb, which is due to the tight thigh fit, but leaves the waist a bit loose. Where the Keb has the reinforced panels the fabric is the same as the Vidda. But elsewhere on the Keb the material is lighter weight and quite stretchy.

These are great quality pants but made for folks that wear 34-36" length pants. The waist fit perfectly. And because of the cinched bottoms, you can't cuff them. Sadly I will be returning these pants and probably not ordering this brand of pant again.

I really loved these pants but had to return them. I have the Fjallraven Keb pants in a size 34 reg and can get away with it, but the style on these is different enough that they are both too long and too large in the hips and waist. I think if they had the short size I could deal with the bagginess, but otherwise if you're on the small size the Keb pants might be a better fit.

I wanted a pair of durable, technical pants for some serious hiking, but also wanted them to look cool enough to wear off the mountain. These are it! You are getting so much for your money. These pants are durable, but still move freely. They offer numerous pockets which come in handy when you need to be hands free. I purchased the black on black, and I've worn these around town without feeling like a mountain bum. The Fjallraven brand is extremely high end, and you know you're getting quality and design. I wear a 4-6 or 26-27 size pant and the 36 fits great. Tried the 34 too but was much too small. You'll want some give and room to move around and even add a base layer in colder months. Love these pants - year round!

These pants are pretty awesome. The reinforced areas mean I can scramble up and down rocks without worrying about ripping them. The cuffs have snap closures to cinch them tight, as well as little metal clips to attach to your laces like a gaiter. Millions of pockets hold your map, knife, firestarter, GPS/PLB, phone, etc. The only downside to these pants is that they contain cotton. They are nominally water-resistant, but once you get them wet in the rain, they stay very soaked, so these are probably not a great choice in the winter. This is the reason I didn't rate them 5 stars. (Also you do need to reapply the wax if you want them to stay water repellant after repeated washings. The wax is $20 per bar, be aware.)

This review is probably premature, since I haven't given these pants a trail trial yet - but I wanted to weigh in for ladies out there who're flummoxed by the Swedish sizing system. After scouring the size chart and lots of reviews, I wasn't sure which size to buy, so I ordered BOTH a 36 & a 38. I'm 5'6" - 120 lbs.; 29" waist; 37" hips with an athletic build and trim, muscular legs. According to the chart, I'm a 38 - but the size 36 fits beautifully. Loose enough for comfort, fitted enough to look sharp. Based on other buyer's comments, I also worried these might be stiff and scratchy, but I've been wearing them around the house all afternoon and they feel great. I bought them for a week-long trek along the Haute Route in Switzerland this September, so the real test is yet to come. But, so far, soooo good!

The sizing chart was a little hard to read so I wasn't sure about the size, but the pants I got fit well (they're a little larger than most people would probably like, so maybe size down if you're a similar size to me, but I like the less tight fit). It would be great if these came in a petite, my inseam is definitely shorter than these pants, but with hiking boots, it doesn't pose much of a problem.

I love that there are very deep pockets for maps and things. They fit me pretty well. I am 5'9" 135 pounds with athletic thighs. There were roomy enough for me. My waist is 28 inches so they are a bit big in the waist but not so big that wearing them with a belt was uncomfortable.
I wish they came in longs as I would have liked them just a bit longer. My inseam is 33 inches. These are the best hiking pants I have found.

Since I am not very familiar with European sizing I can't really say if these are true to size or not.

My husband bought these pants for me for Christmas. I loved them the only problem is the fit. The pants overall fit in the waist, hips and length but not the thighs. The cut of the pants are for a person with a slim build. Also, the size chart is hard to figure out.

These are awesome hiking pants! I've been able to break them in on a 7 mile hike in New York's Adirondack Mountains and they're fantastic! They're comfortable yet very functional. There are a ton of pockets on the pants which are great for all the little gadgets on the trail. The extra reinforcement on the knees doesn't make the pants feel bulky, they are still very flexible.
