Customer Reviews Fjällräven Nikka Curved Trousers

As a wildlife photographer I needed a pair of pants that were resistant to briars, but in a light color for hot weather. I have 3 pairs of the Keb style that I really like, but didn't need anything quite that expensive, and the Keb's are just a bit short on me. I'm 5'7", 134 lbs with long legs and somewhat straight hips. I don't consider myself "curvy," but since the model for the curvy pants seemed to have a similar figure to mine, I ordered the curvy fit and the regular fit, but the waist was just a bit tight and the hips were too big in the curvy fit, and the regular style fit really well in the 38. They are very long, but it was easy to hem them, and I'd rather be able to shorten them than have them too short. If you look at the Savanna color for both these pants and the regular fit, the color depicted for this style is not accurate, the curvy fit pants are the greener color shown for the regular style. Fjallraven pants are expensive, but when you look at the work and technical fabrics that go into them, they are not over-priced. My everyday pants are the Prana Halle in 4 Long, which I also have to shorten. The Prana's would be 100% perfect if they just weren't treated with toxic stain repellent.

Fit was great except they are sized WAY TOO LONG. I consider myself "average" size but these were a good 8 inches too long for "regular" inseam.

Ordered size 40 (10 US) and found it to be cut small, not curvy or roomy and that is my usual size. The pants have a nice look but in my opinion the legs are more narrow and it is not at all a curvy fit.

Fjallraven has quickly become my favorite brand. The curved line is especially great. I have several different pairs and the Nikka curved is the "dressiest" of them. The pockets are amazing and will ruin you for all other brands of pants. There's even a cell phone pouch inside of one of the bigger pockets so you don't have to go fishing for your phone. The styling is a bit more subtle on these, not quite as survival chic as the Kebs or the Vida Pros. As for sizing, I wear an EU 38 and I'm 5' 4", 130 lbs. They come with a very long inseam, and I will at some point hem them shorter, but for now I just roll them a couple times. The stretchy fabric is so comfortable and the rise is perfect, no plumber butt.

Fits curves and beautifully constructed and sewn with thoughtful details. Yes, very long, but says right on them it’s a raw edge made to be hemmed to your preferred length. The best pant I’ve ever had. Totally cool with strap high heels or technical shoes.

I'm 5'5, 125 and the 36 fit me well. If you're a fan of the g1000 fabric, these pants don't have a lot. They're mostly stretchy fabric which would be better for hiking on trails, less good for bushwhacking thru brush or working on a farm. But due to the stretchiness they're quite lightweight and incredibly comfy! I'm a big fan.

I found these to run small. The length is great for us long leg gals but just like other reveiwers, thighs and waist are tight. I sized up one size and they’re perfect now, can fit a base layer under for colder days too.

Fit great. Usually a US size 12. Ordered a 42. Ordered the regular length and they are about 8 in too long! Will have to have them hemmed. Not crazy about the color but on sale. Nice stretchy material with tons of pockets.

loved the style of these pants, but they run super long. I'm 5'8" and I could hem up 4inches. also runs a little big.

CAUTION, READ DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY! I was so excited to receive these pants and then very disappointed to learn that "Regular" length is actually raw length. Raw length is 34". I wanted them to work, and cuffed them several times...that just looked silly. The size chart does say "Raw Length", shame on me for not noticing. Zappos Customer Service was wonderful and nicely pointed out the "Raw Length" wording. Obviously need to return. Aside from not wanting to pay to have them hemmed, since I already paid more than I should have for a pair of pants, I loved the pants.

Their idea of "curved" is comical. I bought these one size bigger than my street pants and they still wouldn't come over my hips.

Comfortable

Way too tight in the thigh and stomach area and I already went up a size. Sending back.

I liked these pants but the rise was too short for me. They would have been very uncomfortable.

I was looking for a more rugged pair of hiking pants and felt the Keb to be a little stiff so these seemed like a good alternative. Ive used them several times now and have been happy with the function and pockets. Theyre not as comfortable as I was hoping, the waistband is a little sharp though the curved fit is really nice, and I find that the seam on the back and the waxed cotton fabric chafes on my bum during long hikes. By the end of the day I couldnt wait to take them off.

It fit well over the hips and thighs. I would probably size up to allow for an extra layer underneath. However, the regular was ridiculously long. I'm above average height and I would need 4" heels to wear these.

Waist fit well, but it was very long. I double cuffed to try on. Very rigid pants. Would be good for winter hikes.
