I work in a store where I walk a lot and make many heavy lifts on a daily basis. And normally i just use regular cheap jeans, but they only last some months before they rip on the inner tights.

So I’m looking for some durable pants that handle friction and sweat in the inner thigh. I was looking at Fjällräven but I have heard they are not that good compared to price anymore. So any recommendations on EU or preferably Scandinavian brands?

    Lots of posing with machine guns and confederate flag tattoos going on there for a European company. I guess they know their audience, but gosh what a turn-off.

        Listen up. Varustelka started as surplus store and they are producer of a custom brand called Särmä.

        Their gear is on par with Savotta (same sewers) and the customer service is excellent. But yes; their main audience is the tactical community. But they also have great items for hiking and re-creational stuff (take a look at the merino stuff).

        It’s on the elbow of the guy posing with a cigar and a handgun wearing sunglasses indoors in a pub, next to a bartender who is poking himself with a knife.

        It’d be a decent parody of toxic masculinity if it wasn’t for the fact that this guy has, in fact, tattooed a confederate flag on his body. So I’m worried they might be serious, which makes me question a number of things.

        (more on topic, I’d probably just get a pair of Fjällräven Keb Agile, but I know OP wants to explore other options)
