Pockets are rubbish.

Comfortable trousers great fit only issue as other reviews state is the poor design of the belt.

On first try I liked these trousers. Quite thin and certainly not value at RRP but a decent pair of soft shells nonetheless. They look good and fit well. Unfortunately I quickly realised the belt keeps getting lost in the waistband and you have to spend an age trying to fish it out. This happens every time I take them off! Its a closed off belt loop so other belts don't fit. After two wears, I've given up on them. I did email customer service seeking an exchange however this was flat out refused which was disappointing. In all honesty, I think I'll stick with the more recognised brands from here on out.

Update : felt compelled to reply to Fjern's response as it's not entirely honest. These were purchased through Sports Pursuit, which we all know has very close links to Fjern. I will quote the reply regarding my exchange query for full transparency, where I also queried if I should contact Sports Pursuit - the reply suggested I should not:

"Please note that this is a product design feature and will not fall under the warranty terms.

If the product is unworn and with labels still intact, you will, however, be able to arrange a return with the retailer directly"

I guess my final update will be disappointed in the product, disappointed with the customer service, disappointed in the reply to this 😄

The trousers are very good. Comfy, stretchy and look good.

The only downside is the belt part. Trying to put a different belt on is a 10 minute tast. Why is it not like normal belt slots where you can pull the belt through? Whoever thought that design was a good idea needs to have a word with themselves. Honestly, it actually puts me off wearing them if I do not already have a belt on the trousers.

Great quality and comfortable pants.

4 way stretch... very comfortably material and fit (36). Pockets are good. Very happy with everything. Goes with my 3 other pairs of Nord trousers.

I like that you’ve included more pockets on them however the lack of side vents, clips at the bottom and the change of material is a negative for me. The button doesn’t have any sound feedback when you clasp it. Overall I do like the trousers just wish you’d kept a few more feautures from previous models

We are trialling these trousers for our staff team (Outdoor Instructors) and they are proving to be very good quality. They look good too.

Trousers are light and quick drying. Fit is slim but the material has stretch. My leg is 34" and length of these is fine. Packaging while not relevant is superior.

This is my second pair of these trousers, having bought my first pair in last year’s sale. I work outdoors in quite an active job, and they’re perfect as practical, quick drying trousers that still look smart.

Great trousers and really good in the rain - just as advertised.

The colour is just right, the fit is perfect and the thickness of the material just right for what I wanted.

Comfortable, fits well

The actual trousers are really good. They’re comfy, lightweight and stretchy. Partly my own fault because I got them one size too big, but the belt is worse than useless, it keeps slipping and so the fall down. If they fitted, it would have been fine.

Used them a lot already they fit really well and are therefore very comfortable. They seem impervious to rain although they have only experienced minor showers. The belt is very effective and does not loose it’s tension. Well designed pockets give good safe carrying capacity.

Ordered these in short leg length. I'm 5ft 6ins. Still too long by 3 inch, so had to get shortened. Not all giants, so suggest providing varied length trousers. Also, waist belt not sturdy enough.

The waste is tighter than expected and I was also believing them to be softshell but they're thinner. Still a really comfy and nice pair of trousers. They feel more suitable for warmer weather.

A very good, durable product, excellent for hiking at +/- 5 degrees Celsius

Great fit, true to size for my 36" waist. Slim leg fit mean they 'grip' the leg a tad which makes them quite chilly to walk in on a frosty morning...i'd recommend a merino layer underneath for cold mornings. But for warmer weather to come, they will be perfect on a scramble up the mountains with their flexible material. Very happy with them.

Comfortable even to spend a couple of hours in an airport and plane in. Great to walk in and even though I got soaked they stayed warm and comfortable.

Great trousers, would be improved further if the main hand pockets were zipped, although the small zipped pocket on the right leg is handy, but they're a good length and seem to be quite hard wearing.

Excellent fit and serve purpose very well

Really well made and comfortable, but 3 things I find slightly annoying - 1. The fit is looser than I expected. 2. The belt isn’t quite long enough and the buckle isn’t a great design - especially if you’re wearing gloves, and it loosens while walking. 3. The popper fastening could do with a second one to straighten out the join, as currently it twists.

Overall, quite pleased with them, but needs some design changes to make them great.

36" more like 34"

Ideal for autumnal walking

Good material and nice fit on the upper leg but a little tight on the calves so the trouser leg can become 'stuck' when walking uphill etc.

The Trousers fit well, are very comfortable with just a nice amount of stretch. They are light for long days wear and the water resistant aspect seems to work well so far.
