Just use the warranty. Let them fix it or replace it. I checked the warranty for EU and it was a dogshit 2 year warranty to US' lifetime. I wanted to buy the gaiter pants, but they told me it uses the EU warranty since it isn't sold in US.
I wanted the ventilation without the retarded nylon spandex crotch that is destined to blow out at the crotch in the middle of the wildy.
I have a small hole in mine and it's less than a year old. Pockets are nice though and the crotch hasn't blown out.
My Dickies 874 lasted about a year for $20. Only things I used. If they had another pocket or two i'd probably still use them. Pick your poison:
>quality of life, expensive, pockets, double knee, ankle tightener, can take knee cushion, pockets distribute weight well, and works well with a base layer during winter. I wish the rise was higher or had suspenders.
>cheap, lasts a year, dries fast, fits good, and looks good, just as light.
I mean for being almost 9 times cheaper, you aren't going to get 9x the lifespan with the fjallraven pants unless you milk their warranty.
I wouldn't wax them though. It's not waterproof will make the pants breathe extremely poorly. Polycotton is already a wonderful fabric that will dry extremely fast. It's loose enough too that when it is wet the water doesn't transfer easily to skin. Same for Dickies. I've fished all day in them without my legs getting wet due to the loose fit. Still breathed like a champ.
I wish they just made a basic heavyweight pant though in the g1000 (polycotton) heavyweight fabric though. The pants are still light in my book.
>Fjallraven as a company
is in a funny spot. They're seen as a fashion brand in US here and acts like one, but they could compete with Carhartt/Dickies and other work brands if they focused more on function rather than the retarded kanken backpack fashion.
