    Alex, This is the best review of Fjallraven products I have seen. You have done a completely thorough and excellently detailed presentation, and this is just spectacular info for these pants. I just bought a pair of Vida Pro's and I love them, but have really been thinking of a pair of Kebs for outdoor winter use.
    A few notes on your video.
    1) You are great! Love your energy and enthusiasm. You speak clearly and you tell a good story that stays interesting and engaging the whole way through.
    2) Your information is better than the Fjallraven Videos, and more complete than most of the people who just rave about these pants. ( keb) Thank you for taking this seriously and doing such a great job.
    3) the cage match thing at the start may be a bit over the top. Not sure you need that when you have such a great video. A lot of people on You tube think you need to be silly or over the top in some way, but your info is over the top great, and you might consider that as enough. These are spendy pants ( both) and super high quality....
    4) Not sure about your color grading.
    5) Loved the little detour about the color of the light, and that you have not seen the sun in so long! A great reminder that you are up on the top of the world.... living in a beautiful and exotic place. So cool! These little asides make your video more human and more authentic. .. which is nice to see .
    6) Music --- as background it was fine... but maybe a different, less frantic, more thoughtful or contemplative sound ( or not at all?) This is a thoughtful video, maybe music to match that feeling would play better.
    7) Only 463 views? You deserve more than that! I subscribed! Looking for more Fjallraven and High end gear reviews. The Fjallraven line is so confusing. Dont know if you guys sell Arcteryx, or not, but their line is super confusing too, and could use some nice video explainers. Actually, probably any quality line of products would benefit from a detailed review like yours.
    8) Enjoyed hearing about the Beaver Sport staff comments! Its so nice to hear real life reviews. Sounds like you have a nice group of people up there.
    9) Be patient. Make more videos. Keep improving. Alex, you are very charismatic and have a great presence on camera. Looking forward to seeing more of you and these reviews in the future.

      Steve, this is great feedback. Thank you very much. We're definitely going to take it into consideration going forward. I have found that it is nearly impossible to truly understand a product when just looking at the listing online, so I'm happy to hear the videos do a better job. We do sell Arcteryx and actually have some Arcteryx videos planned and we're currently testing a new jacket from them that we'll be reviewing soon so stay tuned for those. Again, really appreciate the feedback!

      @@f50koenigg The Vidda Pros are great for sitting around the campsite. They are going to be great for hiking in the late fall-winter-early spring. That being said, they are far too heavy for me to hike with in any weather above 50°F. I ended up buying Abikso Midsummer trousers and spent the summer and early fall hiking with those paired with the jacket instead. A much cooler outfit temperature wise, and both the jacket and midsummers have zippered vents to cool off with. I heat up and sweat like crazy. I'm going hiking in the Presidentials in NH in 2 days and it might be time to break out the Viddas on that hike as the weather up there can get cold in an instant.

    Amazingly comfortable are also Karl Pro. Although none strech parts are there. But I had to return them because they are not built for my height 170cm. Shaped knees were too low. And I hate that we have to finish bottom of legs. So Keb and Abisko are my favorites in long leg pants. Ruaha in shorts.

      I think they don't produce Short version (30"). So I also (170cm) ended with regular length (it is I think 32" 81cm). But because you can taper them down it is not issue for me. And of course I bought both: Abisko an Keb :-). But I have 72kg, so I have M (48) size.

    @AlexanderMason1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    No, polyester and polyamide are both NOT “very” breathable. As a general rule, synthetic materials are not breathable while natural materials are. Of course depending on the way the fabric is woven, it can be a little bit breathable but no where near as much as natural materials.
