Love the shoes, got the boots!

Written on Sep 23, 2022

I have the low-top hiking shoe version of these and I loved them so much, I got the high-top boot as well. I haven't worn these long-term, but the fit and comfort level feels identical to the hiking shoes plus additional ankle support. The uppers are supportive without feeling too constricting and I like the lower cut at the back of the ankle for greater flexibility.

Style is Nice, Quality Lacking

Written on Feb 21, 2022

I've had my eye on this sweater all year, hoping for a sale on it. I finally splurged and am disappointed. I could give this 5 stars for fit, style, and color, however the quality is not the usual Fjallraven standard. As someone who is not usually sensitive to wool, this is sweater is pretty itchy but the main issue however is that started with huge pilling in the underarms. The wool yarns don't feel like they're going to hold up well and will wear down in the elbows. The patches *could* help with that except... they are too high up above the elbow! Most of the patch is above the elbow and the bottom just grazes mine. And I'm a petite person with shorter arms...?

These pants changed my life

Written on Feb 14, 2022

I absolutely love these pants. They are so light and comfortable, I can wear them indoors in my cold apartment without feeling heavy or constricted the way I do in snow pants. When I take them off I immediately feel the cold on my legs. The Large fits true to size but is roomy enough to fit over an actual pair of pants, not just leggings or thermals. I've been so much warmer standing outside at school in the morning during frigid temps.

Perfect for running!

Written on Nov 13, 2020

I've been searching for the perfect outer layer for running in chilly weather and this is it. I warm up quickly in this jacket with a Woolpower zip mid-layer underneath and additionally love the style and how lightweight it is. Wore it in light rain already and it kept me dry. Small complaint that I saw in another review is that the hood does tend to sink down over the forehead and I may have to find a way to pinch it a tiny bit in the back to lift up the front for better visibility. The pockets also have huge openings, which means if I'm walking and want to stick my hands in there for warmth, there's a gap above my wrists. I'm more of a cozy pocket person as opposed to a thin, ventilating pocket person. Regardless, it still gets five stars for overall performance and style. I'm sure it will work great for hiking with a backpack as well, given the streamlined fit up top. I'm usually a Medium in tops, but my hips are a Large so I typically size up with OR, and occasionally risk the shoulders being way too big. These fit great!

BEYOND THRILLED - SIZE 12!

Written on Aug 28, 2020

I have struggled to find pants that fit well and these are perfect. True to size following the measurements given for size 12. The waistline looks low on some of the Kuhl website images, but these look as expected from the image featuring the currant color, which is comfortably higher. I got a long because that's what was available, but I don't mind the scrunched look at the bottom and am opting to cuff them anyway. Can always hem them if necessary and maybe shrinkage will take some length off. Cannot believe I found pants that fit!

Love them!

I was worried about the sizing, but these fit perfectly. My hips are closer to 42/43" and I went with a size 12 which fits perfectly, not too loose, not too tight. The wild rose is more muted than the photo which I'm pleased about although I could have lived with a brighter pink. Note that this style has the wider waistband with the drawstring on the inside. Some of the photos feature the other style of the Notion pants, but these are the SP version. Perfect!

Great Design and Quality

Written on Aug 28, 2020

I'm a 38" bust and purchased a Medium, and the fit is great. I like my t-shirts a bit more fitted, and this is so while being comfortable and not too tight. Fabric has a nice hand and is well-structured for a thin (but not too thin) cotton.

Great Quality / Construction, Odd Fit

Written on Aug 28, 2020

These are a well made pair of pants, the fabric feels great, and I like the overall design. However, on my size 12 body, these fit well enough but were not very flattering. They are a thinner, more drapy fabric and the whole hip and pelvis area just did not look good.
