Fjallraven makes technical pants that are fantastically durable, and waterproof. They are waterproof because they are a waxed canvas, so you can remove the waterproofing and make them more durable by washing them on a hot cycle, or add wax and melt it into the fabric with a heat gun.
They're expensive, so wait for one of their sales. I paid $140ish (USA) for both of my pairs, it it was worth every cent. They come with a lifetime warranty, so living near a fjallraven store is helpful as they will repair them and wax them for you for free.
Technically they're only supposed to provide this service for 10 years after purchase (which is still worth it considering how much abuse I put them through) but Fjallraven employees will still provide tailoring/waxing even if you don't have a receipt. I asked someone at their Seattle location about this and they said they have a customer who has been bringing in their pants for repair for 30 years. They'll mail your clothes back to you after they finish with repairs/waxing.
I have two pairs, one vidda pro ventilated for shoulder seasons and winter, and one pair of abisko lite trekking zip offs for summer. The vidda pro pants I use for winter sports instead of snow pants. The zip offs can be converted into shorts for hot days.
Hard disagree. Hugh is too tall and too pretty. He's done a fine job with the character but I am extremely excited for a new short-king wolverine. It's time to move on.
I was promised ducks, but only received duck. I am outraged but will let it slide because this singular duck is pretty dope.
Right on. Any compromise with a fascist turns everyone involved into fascists. These spineless Democrats are too damned comfortable in their cushy six figure part-time gigs, and need to be reminded who they work for.
I want everyone who voted to approve the appointments of RFK, Hegseth, etc. primaried ASAP.
Fair enough. People are fatigued by the constant barrage of political posts, I just figured there were rules against this sort of thing. I'm new to Lemmy and still figuring out how to even view the rules in the voyager app.
Does that list include the same political posts that have infested damn near every other sub in existence? I go to shitpost subs for silliness, not more of the same crap we get everywhere.
This does NOT belong in the sub.
This is not a meme.
Yes! It's so refreshing to see an article tell the truth rather than using the phrase "controversial gesture" again.
