These are such good pants. I have two pairs and use them almost all the time. Wouldn't recommend them for hiking though, but they're good for outdoors work and general use.

AbhiI can't understand why... I own one pair ofthese already. Had them for a year now- best pair of pants I ever owned! Sure, they aren't perfect in warm weather, but when the temmperature is about 15 celcius and below, they are perfect. Especially in woodland environments,such as for bushcraft.

Abhiedit: I just want to make it clear for future readers, these are among my favorite pants ever. I wear these almost all the time, and even though I have two (among a few other fjallraven pants) I'm tempted to get at least one more. But it's important to be realistic about what they are and what they are not. These are great work pants, and great everyday pants for those who live complicated, active non-urban lives.

Depends on what kind of hiking obviously, but there are just so much better options out there. The fabric and design here is from the 60's or something. They're not very breathable, pretty heavy, not stretchy at all, and not waterproof at all (even with waxing, I've tried, quite a bit). So they're basically well cut, durable jeans with nice pockets. They just don't stand out from the competition, like, almost any other hiking pant available. But like kiwipie says, they're decent for bushcraft style hikes, but not really if you're going out on a hike to walk up a mountain or something. I'd take most other pants that I have other these for that, but then most other days I would (and do) wear these.
They get wet as soon as it rains. Gore-tex and other wpb fabrics are just so good. And for high exertion activities you can get such good pants, don't torture yourself wearing jeans like these.
Fjallraven makes much better hiking pants too, like the Keb, or others newer ones that mix soft-shell fabric with the G1000. Softshell were you want them to breathe and g1000 where you want durability (although many softshell fabrics are plenty durable), and the zippers on the Keb pants are amazing.
