Venture Deep into Fall with Fjällräven Outdoor Pants

By TJ Carter Published October 6, 2015

For truly bold outdoorsmen, the end of shorts season isn’t a good enough reason to pack it in. The mighty outdoor apparel gods wrought outdoor pants so diehard nature lovers could comfortably enjoy the wilderness during the cold-but-beautiful fall and winter seasons.

Jeans, while stylish and versatile under most circumstances, don’t quite cut it when you’re on the trail — they’re heavy, bulky, and easily saturated. A good pair of outdoor pants should be lightweight, warm, and impervious to the elements. In honor of the early days of fall, we thought we’d showcase Fjällräven’s outstanding outdoor pants.

No, Fjällräven is not a Swedish heavy metal band — rather, it’s one of our favorite outdoor brands, and they’ve recently launched a new ad campaign to get the word out about their line of outdoor pants in time for the cold season.

Fjällräven’s Vidda Pro trousers, for example, are made with water-resistant G-1000 and boast reinforced rear and knees. They also come with no fewer than seven pockets, including a map pocket, an axe pocket, and an inner safety pocket. In other words, these pants are legit.

You might also consider the Keb Eco-Shell trousers, which have three layers of wind and waterproof material; or the Abisko trousers, which boast excellent mobility and comfort. Each pant comes in a range of colors, allowing you to maintain your personal style on the trail.

Whether you’re a hiker, a backpacker, a mountain climber, a fisherman, or a city slicker posing as an outdoorsman, you’ll find these hardy outdoor pants from Fjällräven to be the ideal adventure companions.

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Amberjack.

Amberjack's Axis sneaker is here and it's been quietly building a following in the dress-casual sneaker category for a good reason. At $185, it sits at a price point that genuinely undercuts the comparable luxury options. With premium build, value, and proprietary comfort tech, the Axis changes what a daily-wear shoe looks and feels like and delivers a wear experience that mass-market $100 sneakers and $400 designer pairs both struggle to replicate.

The 5 suit brands you need to know to build your first suit wardrobe: Including the first aspirational one

Building a suit wardrobe starts with the brands you can trust

Men's Wearhouse Custom

Look, starting a wardrobe is difficult. You have to decide what kind of man you want to be. What kind of message do you want to send? What kind of budget do you want to use? And how often you want to go back to the drawing board. What kind of man do you want to be? Sounds heavy. Sounds dramatic. Maybe because, in some ways, it is. So much of what people initially believe about you remains in their subconscious long after they get to know you. So what you wear is important. The message you want to send is one of being put together, attentive to details, or it is the opposite. Laid back and unbothered. The budget is also integral to the wardrobe you build. High quality comes with high prices. However, it comes with longevity, so it means you don't have to replace it as often, saving money in the long run. So, what kind of man do you want to be? Hopefully one that wears men's suits.

No matter what man, message, budget, or shopping frequency you choose, a good suit wardrobe will need to be a part of it. So, where do you go? How do you start? Here are the five brands to trust to get started. No Tom Ford, Brioni, giant fashion houses here. These are the five suits for the man starting out. And one for the man aspiring to the next step. The first four, you can grab your first quality suit for around the $1,000 mark. The aspirational one will be your first custom, so it will be a bit more.

Longines refreshes its cult-favorite central power reserve in light blue

The Swiss watch company is giving the Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve some new dial and bracelet options.

Wristwatch, Arm, Dial

Longines has been around since 1832, which makes it one of the oldest continuously operating watchmakers on Earth — old enough to have spent decades strapped to the wrists of aviators and explorers before most brands existed. So when the Saint-Imier company, now part of the Swiss giant Swatch Group, revives something from its own archives, it's got real history to draw on. The Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve is a good example.

The Conquest line dates to 1954 — the first Longines collection to have its name trademarked with the Swiss IP office. And in 1959, one Conquest model introduced the complication this watch is built around: a power reserve indicator planted dead center on the dial. For 2026, Longines has given the modern revival a light refresh: a new light-blue opaline dial and (for the first time on this model) a stainless-steel bracelet alongside the returning dark leather strap.
