Ever wonder what tactical trousers look like in Sweden? Because we know we have!
In a four-minute video, John at Tactical Gearhead shows off the Fjällräven’s Greenland Trousers. If you’ve never heard of Fjällräven, it’s a Sweden-based outdoor gear and clothing company founded in 1950 that also makes backpacks, tents, sleeping bags and more. Fjällräven even touts a super-lightweight line called Pak5.
We’ll admit these pants aren’t exactly what police officers and emergency service personnel would sport while on the clock, but you never know how many trade the streets for the trails when they get the chance. The Greenland Trousers feature G-1000, a densely woven fabric made of 65 percent polyester and 35 percent cotton developed by Fjällräven, which John compares to 5.11 tac light material.
Here’s what John had to say about the pants:
- The pants don’t have pocket symmetry. One side features a cargo pocket with a smaller knife/flashlight pocket. The other leg features two stacked small cargo pockets.
- One pocket opens up on the end and can be used for hatchet storage. John later mentions that his hatchet shaft was too wide to fit though the end.
- Inside the pants, there’s a mid-sized traveler pocket — perfect for storing all kinds of valuables.
- There’s elastic, buttoned leg endings with draw strings, which makes “fitting over boots easier.”
- A potential downside for some: There are no back pockets. “I never have anything in my back pockets anyway,” he adds.
- The pants also feature a teeny Swedish flag sew into the side seam.
- Best quote from the review: “I normally don’t stuff my hand down my pants.”

Interesting product and review. I am not sure that sewing the flag of the manufacturing company’s country visibly into the product is not the best idea.
Though I agree with the reviewer that I would not miss back pockets too much, it woudl take time to get used to. I do seem to keep things temporarily in my back pocket because it seems to be the first place I want to reach when looking for something.
