I purchased these tights for a 12 hour adventure race in the Blue Ridge mountains. These tights went above and beyond my expectations. They survived a day of pouring down rain, mud and bushwhacking through the spring North Georgia woods and survived without a single snag or hole. I washed them and they look brand new. I also wore them to ride a mountain bike during the race in the rain and mud and they didn't chafe and they didn't fall down. I wore them without bike shorts.
Just wore these leggings for 6 days in the Winds and multiple day hikes before the trip. I love the reinforcements over the knees and seat. Saved my knees from abrasions on a couple falls so far. Love the high waste as well but the drawstring does nothing. After a couple days in the backcountry I had to keep pulling them up and I bought the small. I am 5’5 and 130-135 lbs. The envelope closure for the right thigh pocket is another area that needs improving. Always took me two hands to get my phone in and out of the pocket. I really wish they would change this pocket for easier access. A tad too long, some extra fabric at my ankles. I originally bought them in a medium and had to return for the small. Maybe I need to try an extra small before buying my next pair. Will buy another pair but please fix that pocket and the drawstring.
I did not purchase these from REI or else I could return them. Wore these maybe 3 times on regular hikes, but yesterday went bouldering and did some butt sliding and they ripped right down the crease in the butt and on the left side. I’m 5’4” and weigh 135lbs and the medium fits just a little tight.
I have had these tights for almost a year now, and they are everything the description says. The fabric is super durable and has not pilled or abraded. I love the reinforced coverage on the seat - I feel like I can plop down anywhere without worrying about the fabric thinning or staining, and it also affords a little more modesty than typical clingy hiking tights. They are comfortable and stay up, and have conveniently placed and designed pockets. I am 5'9", 143 lbs, typically wear size 6 and have a 34" inseam. I have these in medium and they fit perfect.
Quality seems good but sizing is off. Large was too small so I ordered XL. The XL wasn't any larger than the large . . . . just taller.
The fit runs small - they kept sliding down a bit BUT 100% recommend for rear-sliding down a mountain on shale. Not even one nick in the material. Very sturdy and saved the day! They are very comfortable; side pockets are great.
These were my very first Fjallraven purchase and they have been my hunting/scouting pants for Colorado Elk archery for 5 years! The reinforced knees and butt have been scraped, snagged, and slid through mountains and forests and they have held up amazingly. After 250+ days of wear, I finally retired them - and bought another pair! Best investment ever. So happy with this purchase.
I wore these on a four night trip to the backcountry. They were incredibly comfortable and I loved the zippered pocket. By the third day, I did have to pull them up a bit but the drawstring came in handy. Our trip involved multiple water crossings and I found these tights dried quickly, which was a relief once temperatures dropped. I am 5’10” 155lbs and purchased a medium- great fit!

I am 5'5", 130lbs with a long torso, short legs and average waist/hip/thigh measurements. Originally ordered the Abisko HD Trekking Tights in size small based on both the Fjällräven and other sizing guides. The small were so tight that I couldn't get them past my knees! So I exchanged them for size Medium which fit much better. However, I find the proportions are a bit 'off' in order to keep the reticulated patches over the knees. They are so long in the shins that extra fabric is doubled over in places, yet short in the thighs so I'm often pulling them up. Honestly, I think they're made for tall, thin and leggy Swedes! That said, the fabric feels really good (comfortable all over and rugged where it should be) and these pants are loaded with features. I love that I don't have to worry about rock scrambles or working in them. And no PFAS! *note* I tried both the Abisko Pro and the HD and prefer the HD for their more rugged build.
