- We, Matti and Stina, have tested the Taiga Forest Trousers 3.0 now for the whole winter season and they might be the best gore-tex pants we have ever worn. We seldom agree on what clothes we like but these outdoor pants from Taiga we completely agree.
As Taiga writes themselves these are versatile and hard-wearing all-weather gore tex trousers for high-intensity activity in a range of outdoor environments. Waterproof and suitable for spring, autumn and winter activities. The special design of these trousers prevents condensation which we always had problems with in gore-tex clothes before.
This is a review of all pros and cons of the Taiga Forest Pants.

Excellent review. Interesting brand. Many thanks Matti. 🙏
Nice review, always to the point, no BS.
😊 we don't like BS 😉.
Great video Matti! Haven't written in a long while but not missed a movie. You guys are doing great, keep up the good job! Now I want a pair of taiga forest trousers haha! I love that you said just for CZcams about the coffee-pouring. That's also the kind of content I go here for ;)
Great review. In my opinion Taiga makes supergreat stuff, with a LOT of thinking behind. I have been in both in their climate lab and their survival camp, where i borrowed the Forest jacket and trousers. I didn’t want to give them back...
That's the feeling when you touch the jacket. You don't want to give it back... I bought one and I don't need to give it back. That's the secret how to become a happy person! 😀 /Matti
If you guys can use them for the whole winter season without problems they will last for many years for most people.
Yes, that what we think too! So even if some think they are expensive to buy, they are not so expensive if you look into how many years you can use them. /Stina
Nice review of the pants. I've used these myself, and one thing I noticed is that the Velcro on the suspenders easily comes loose from the attachment on the pants, allowing you to keep your jacket on when you need to take care of business.. It's a bit cumbersome when you're using a tool belt, though. But check it out, that feature may not be the best, but still handy. Great video.👍😀
Nice review sir.. 👌
Lol.😂😅🤣 I like what you said about the coffee, you get nervous if you drink too weak of coffee so I make it strong.😂🤣😅 Good one👍
Bra review! En fråga, är gortex linern (byxorna) lika vind/vattentäta som en tre lagers skalbyxa?
More reviews please
9:40 Hahahahahahahahhahaha! You are too funny!
Do you know why the paint zippers are made to close by pulling down instead of pulling up? It's because if you're hunting or stalking an animal and you're crawling on your belly if the zipper opened by pulling up you might catch the zipper on a stick or something and the pocket would open unintentionally. By closing when pulling down the pocket won't open by accident when crawling on the belly.
Suspenders/braces. Interesting analysis. They seem fairly good but they have several deficiencies which you pointed out. They need to get the zipper direction lined out. I'm huge on safety. Most of the time I wear bibs. I carry essentials for life with me directly on my body. If I get separated from my machine whatever it may be at the time I have basic tools and survival gear. A phone is an absolute necessity to have within arms reach. There will be a time you need it and won't be able to fetch it. You can't wait around at 40 below. I interested in what you have to say about the jacket. You all take care. Pet the dogs for me.
Thank you for the review on this pants, Good information. The argument of the zippers is interesting. It would be very difficult to apply this to your fly zipper that one needs to open going down and therefore you will create inconsistencies between zippers and in my case I much rather create muscle memory and always close the zippers in the same direction. One question (sorry i asked this in a previous video too) what brand of boots are you using?
Thans and it's super interesting with our muscle memory. Sometimes, we do things because we are used to it. Not because it's good...
My boots... They are fantastic and difficult to get. They cal 'Jörn kängan'. It's a Swedish local brand from the north. It's very much like Lundhags but a little bit better... 😀
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA thank you for the response. I do have a couple of Lundhags (Lundhags Skare II) but they are not very warm, I much rather use my Lacrosse or my mukluks ( have a pair of Steegers and i also made a few for me and my family). I will see if i can get a hold of the ones that you mentioned. Take care. Dario
PS: I hope to get up there one of these days. My company has a data center in Lulea so maybe i can make it a business trip :)
@@dariobenavides4344 in jörnkängan Antifrys you will not get cold. Superlight and very warm. The problem is getting hold of a pair.
@@janholma what size would you order? would you order one or two sizes bigger to accommodate thick winter socks? I found a place that have them but they only ship to either Sweden or Norgay. Since I may be traveling to Sweden at some time I may be order a pair and ask them to send it to my hotel. Thank you very much
Is the outer fabvric water repellent enough to use it in heavy rainfall ? BR
do you have a trouser tipp for me. I am a paraglider pilot and used in the beginning fjällräven G1000 trousers, perfect. but todays the quality of FR is real for nothing. Thanks :-)
No matter how good they are when you can’t buy them online freely.Great review like always.Cheers
Hello!
Try to send them an e-mail. They maybe can send them. 😀
/Matti
Hello, I am unable to find a website that sells in the USA, any suggestions?
Search for 'Torraka'. They should exist over there... or is it only in Canada??? /Matti
It is Velcro and you can buy it and sew more on your pants. Expensive pants a band of Velcro is not expensive, buy it in a hobby shop
Men billige er de ikke... Dette er vel egentlig arbeidsklær, og dermed også mer robuste enn fritidsklær. Så får vel tro at prisen gjenspeiler kvaliteten. Takk for en flott gjennomgang!
They are not expensive if you count for how long time they will last. Instead of buying several cheaper trousers that break after a while. These pants are really good quality, might be the best quality we have seen in years.
👎 I have used Taiga as a professional and also in private life. Awsome gear but expensive. I was about to invest in Forest jacket and trousers but the attitude from Taiga people at the event swedish army 500years sucked realy bad. After that experience I will never consider Taiga again. I will also not recommend Taiga to anyone. Good gear but there are other great companies like Carinthia etc.
Sorry to hear that!
It would be interesting to know why they act like that? Where they stressed, tired or why?
My experience is only positive until today. I really hope it was just that they had one bad day…
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Maybe just a bad day. But it was calm with visitors and no stress when I visited the Taiga tent. I just felt that they where uninterested in me. I guess they only where interested in goverment contract people or people in suits. I make about 100.000euro each year and often wear suit but I didnt wear a suit this day and maybe that was my misstake. I have Taiga product like the bivvy and some clothes but no more Taiga for me. If they cant treat me with interest they dont get my money either. There are many good products so I rather buy from a company that are interested in me. Taiga products are not unique.
I now stay away from anything
gore tex 👎
In one way I agree but this pants was really something different… /Matti
