In reply to Fruitbat:
> it certainly didn't seem to concern all the hipster/IT types I spotted in Glasgow earlier this year who all seemed to be issued with Fjallraven kit to keep them snug in the coffee shops.
I would not mind being issued a few more myself, the trousers are quite comfortable in coffee shops, come in nice colours and in the city, when the weather turns bad, they are pretty good at keeping the autumn wind out
On a more serious note, the price is high but I found the fit pretty good, especially for slim and taller people who have a hard time fitting slim but long legged trousers (some of them you can trim the length yourself to fit, they are produced over length). And I usually bought them for 1/2, since it seems some colours were not selling that well
When well waxed, I found them pretty ok for hikes, snowshoeing and such in drier winters (as you note, the environment they were mostly made for), the fabric is pretty windproof and the wax resists the occassional snow or light drizzle pretty well (of course, for more serious conditions or outings, full waterproofs are my choice).
