Praise vs. Criticism

Really good trousers, but not as rough as I though

These pants are almoast perfect, If you are tall and skinny, these pants are perfect for you!
But after a year of daily use these show some wear:
- back pockets have almoast worn through (I carry my wallet in it)
- belt loop on the back has also worn through
- the front left pocket has torn (only from carrying a phone)
- material show signs of use above the zippers

Now I understand that some wear and tear is normal, but Fjallraven likes to say their products are really tough, and I wanted to express that if toughness is something you need in pants, go with Vidda Pros.

Decent trousers, but overpriced

Material is thin, durability seems questionable. Not very suitable for colder weather. There is no stretch at all, so need to measure carefully what length to shorten pants (measure when standing and sitting). Dark navy color material attracts a lot of dust and stained easily.

Advantages
Breathable
Good details
Disadvantages
Badly cut
Not waterproof
Not windproof
