New long size - Now too short

So, I ordered myself yet another set of Fjällräven Vidda Pros. One of the few hiking/everyday trousers I have found with long enough inseams for me. And they have endured surprisingly well on all my adventures, hikes and urbex trips etc.

But now it seems the new long-size Vidda's are too short for me and by looking this up, I found out about the new "improved sizes".

Well, that's it, no more Fjällrävens for me then, sadly, that is.

And yes, I could go for the raw lengths but then miss all the nice things at the hem, so not exactly the best solution.

Abisko hybrid trail pilling at 4th wash

I fell in love with Abisko hybrid trail trousers ever since I got them. Since then, I put them through a lot of use: fishing, hiking, backpacking, backpackfishing. I also washed them a lot. 

I usually machine wash in cold water then hang dry. Never used a drier. It never had any issues, but suddenly at the 4th wash, the G-1000 Lite side appeared to start pilling.  Next time I wash these, I’ll put these in a garment bag and hopefully it’ll help.  

On the website, it recommends 40C wash, so washing it in cold should be gentler than required.

Has anyone else experienced this, whether with these pants or another G-1000 Lite piece of gear?

Vintage Fjallraven G1000/"hooded raven"(?) experiences?

Hi all. I usually wear Barbour, and since I live in the southeast United States I wanted something a little more versatile for my climate. So just to experiment how I liked G1000 I just ordered a cheap older hooded raven (is that even the name?).

The biggest reason I gravitated towards it over a Greenland was mostly due to the waist drawcord but I'm kind of itching to pull the trigger on a Greenland too 👀

Does anyone know how the fit differs? Is what I bought a decent representation of vintage Fjallraven?

Greenland Jacket Alternative

I have had a Greenland Zip Shirt Jacket for quite a while but it is getting to the stage of needing replacing. Had a look on the Fjallraven store and it seems that this has now been discontinued. Are there any recommendations for an alternative similar lightweight hoodless jacket?

What is the purpose of this bag?

I bought a 90s Fjallraven Rapa 75L backpack, and inside I found this nylon feeling bag. What is the purpose of it? Doesn’t feel like it came with the backpack originally.

Would Skule 28 look too bulky on someone who is 5'3"? Also are shoulder straps too wide/how does it sit on a smaller build?

https://preview.redd.it/s5kqataeqcah1.png?width=1100&format=png&auto=webp&s=4f5bc4c17fd15301b6ac3e8040e4d539d801c3e2

For context, again I am around 5'3" and have a smaller than average build. I'm worried it will look quite bulky when I wear the bag. Another problem is the straps would be wide and slip off my shoulders.

I probably won't be filling it completely on a day to day basis, but I'm still kind of worried about the look. Also, I have about a 1 hour commute to school including public transport/walking (or rushing for the train haha) and I've had bags in the past slip off a lot.

There are only male models on the website and although I have read through reviews by women (or just people generally smaller) I haven't found anyone addressing this.

I considered the Skule 20 but it just seems too small for my uses (high school, day hikes, bouldering/rock climbing) and I've fallen in love with the Skule and don't want to get an alternative bag.

The closest in-person store to me is quite far, so I am considering ordering it and just returning it but I wanted to see if anyone knows first. Discussion and any other insight about the bag is appreciated! 😊

TL;DR just look at the title of this post.

Edit: I Forgot about the chest buckles but I prefer not to use them so still wondering about how wide the straps were.

16 inch laptop on a Raven 20L?

Hey everyone!

I have been a long time Fjallraven backpack user. In the past 13 years I have had at least 4 different Kanken backpacks.

However, as the years go by I grew tired of the boxy look of these bags. I am currently using a 15-inch laptop Kanken, but for everyday use and my daily commute on public transportation I find it too large and boxy.

I was looking at the Raven 20L model and was about to buy it on the website, but remembered that I will soon start working two days from home, so I’ll need to add my work laptop and charger to the list of things I’ll need to carry around with me.

I use a 16-inch HP EliteBook 6 g1i 16-inch Notebook AI PC. Does anyone know if I can fit this laptop (without a sleeve) on a 15inch Raven 20? Should I go for the 28L model? I am afraid the 28 will be too large (just like my current Kanken), thus this question. I’ve tried to fit my work laptop on the designated compartment of my 15-inch Kanken Laptop and it fits but not without some pressure or without wiggling it around a bit.

After 50 years of adventures, this backpack found its way back to us.

We got a very special letter to our Fjällräven office in Stockholm. A letter that was accompanied by a very special backpack.

A man had written to us detailing how he received this backpack from his mother in 1976, when he was seven years old. He used it as a school bag as well as when he was in the Scouts.

He eventually moved to Germany and the backpack tagged along. “There’s nothing more practical,” he writes in his letter. “In the backpack, you could always fit a roll of paper (for all purposes), a bottle and a bag of cinnamon buns.”

The backpack accompanied him everywhere, even when he eventually became a Scout leader, joining him on all his adventures in the German forest. “The years have gone by,” he writes, “and now my trusted backpack has reached pension age.”

He continues by telling us that, after 50 years, he has finally replaced his beloved backpack with a new one that looks just like the old one. “I don’t have the heart to throw away my loyal bag, so I am sending it back to where it once came from.”

The bag now lives in our creative workshop in Stockholm, where it continues to inspire us to design products for long-term use.

Best match for 17.5” laptop??

Hi, my niece wants a Fjallraven as her university backpack. But I’m not sure which model would work best to fit her 17.5” laptop. Any recs?

Would it fit in a Kånken 17? Or a Vardag backpack 17?

My best guess so far is that it will fit (and be protected) with a Skule 28.

FYI. Niece lives veeeery far away from any Fjallraven shop to even try out in person.

Thanks! ✨✌🏼

Vidda Pro elastic cuff repair

I have had these pants for many years and used them on countless adventures. The stitching around the elastic cuff had frayed to where the elastic was only being held on my the snaps. I had been putting off fixing it as I heard the repair service would take a while so gave it a shot myself! Isn’t the prettiest but is good enough for me!

Advices on long sleeves shirts

Hi everybody!

I'm seeking advices for long sleeves shirts which I'd like to get to replace the basic running T-shirts I have been using so far.

Basically I'm looking for long sleeves for multi day/weeks trekking trips in the following conditions:

  1. Treks during winter (snow but not below -10°C) and autumn. I would start using that shirt for the Kungsleden in August/September

  2. Treks during spring/summer in the southern Alps where it can get quite hot

Here is what I have identified for those situations:

  1. The Fjallglim relaxed seems to match what I'm looking as it seems warm but not too much and I can layer if necessary

  2. This is where I mostly have doubts. The Abisko Trekking shirt seems quite light but I'm not sure if it would be durable with a 17kg/37lb backpack for multiple days. On the contrary the Keb shirt seems reinforced but looks a lot warmer.

Do any of you have any experience with some of these shirts? Do you think my selection is correct or do you have any input or suggestions?

Thanks!
