Isn't the Fjallraven logo a curled up wolf or husky....like they do when they're having a dozz...? ? ?
Maybe it was the kodiak bear....or is that another bushcraft school's logo? ? ?
Bam.

They've been wrong before now though, so it's the firing squad if they embarrass me again

They probably call it "arctic fox" because there is no english word for Fjäll. Fjällräv is also what older people that have walked in the fjälls for many years, Åke Nordin is one of these people.
Yep they were fjallraven trousers, there kit is pretty good (I have four of thier jackets). Not sure on the model, but they may have been forester trousers.
Fjallraven kit used to be available at most good outdoor shops, but in recent years you would be pretty hard pressed to find much of thier kit over here, which is a shame because I like thier stuff.
If I recall correctly JeremyH was using a pair of thier trousers when I was in Islay a couple of years ago, it may be worth dropping him a PM just to see if he knows where you can get a set in the UK.
Your other option is e-bay or wait till some turn up on here as a few bits of kit have arrived here before now.

They were Fjallraven Greenland Trousers. Mine are from Field Moor and Stream. The one bit of kit a brought BEFORE I saw the Mearsmeister wearing them (I'm not afraid of admitting I'm a partial RM fashion victim). Very helpful chaps. Unfortunately they are £80 a pop. Well worth it IMO.

What is the material they are made of, G1000 ????
I like this as a material, it works very well on the hunters jacket, don't give a stuff about Ray wearing them or not only interested in something that works for me.
I've been using fjallraven since the late seventies when they first began to sell the stuff here.
Their catalogue used to be one of the funniest things published - it was obviously translated by one of their staff who wasn't a native speaker and the occasionally got it hysterically wrong
I rate their kit very highly for most British conditions - only problem is getting hold of it.

I hate to correct you on this but as far as I know fjall means mountain or hill and in Cumbria all the mountains are known as "fells" thanks to our nordic visitors many years ago.A lot of our language owes its orogins to Norway.
We call children Bairns,Norwegian is barn....home is yem or yam Norwegian hjem and I am sure Tarn means tear of the mountain or am I deluded.
Would love to know for sure.
Cheers

Here in the nordic countries we make a diffrence between fjäll and mountain. For us it´s two diffrent things.
Tamarack are doing some Fjall Raven stuff. No Greenland Trousers as yet by the looks of it though.

I'm in no way affilliated to them, but it's a rare resource for this manufacturer.

Does it matter? He's gone too far down the commercial route. A far cry from the days when he recommended British Army lightweights.
