When I first saw the Garphyttan range (which was about the same time as you), my first thought was that it was wannabe Fjallraven. Then I saw the prices. I can’t justify spending that much. The functionality you can get with a cheap pair of Dunlop work trousers from Sports Direct, you get better quality, from what you say, from decent Army Surplus, or from my new favourites, Sarma from Varusteleka. All at a fraction of the SALE price for this gear.
Fjallraven has the reputation and still has the quality, and Garphyttan hasn’t.
sarma gear on the way, got some for my birthday!!
@@WoolysWorld I’d be interested in your view, considering you have to wear this sort of gear daily, I don’t so it doesn’t get as much wear as you put the stuff through.
Well if it's anything like their knives it will be great
The designer of these was a designer for fjallraven
@@patbroderick6132 yes, Johan Skullman, great name
Garphyttan is my daily wear here in the Scandinavian forests. Great quality with extremely durable fabric and attention to detail that one appreciates.
Nice one, this was not my experience the design of the clothes was very good but the quality of the manufacturer was very poor. I had great hopes for this gear and I hope they can sort it out
@@WoolysWorld this is always the case with outsourcing your manufacturing and getting them up to the quality standards one would expect. Give it a season or two.
Attention to detail is everything Garphyttan; will be interesting to see how they take this onboard and address the quality issues. Great honest review; thanks Wooly 👍
Agreed man, I had to flip the script for this one, I had to think about how I would feel if I watch a video saying the gear was great and it turned up with loads of quality issues, I wouldn't be happy. I found this video really hard to record
Just got som crafter trousers. They're 98%cotton and 2% elastan. That, in my opinion, is perfect. These will not have melt holes due to sparks from the fire. Also, they're NOT skinny. No loose threads or other issues. As for their longevity...time will tell.
Fingers crossed buddy
Straight talk such as this will help them to better meet customers' requirements. A good demeanour in the customer service area tells me that they have a good company ethic. I wish them success and let's hope that the quality improves and the prices stay put...lol.
I hope so, there is so much potential
Same feeling here. Bought the same anorak, i liked it lot on the first walks in the woods. Design is good, but the quality is terrible. The jacket seams broke from three different places in one week and also the overall look was messy due the bad sewing.
Luckily their customer service was exellent, and handled the return without hassle. Got the money back and bought the Särmä Anorak, which cost fraction of the price of Garphyttan.
I Hope they will get the quality issued sorted.
Completely agree, customer service is spot on, I didn't get my money back, but then I didn't ask for it. The sarma gear is way ahead of it in terms of quality and the price is right on. If you liked this video I've started another channel called red branch Bushcraft, lots of gear reviews, bushcraft , survival on it. I've reviewed the sarma anorak
Finally someone against the crowd. The sales pointa are quality, simplicity, and heritage. Well, you can find similar gear with same design, quality and solutions for same and lower cost. Gucci also have t-shirts and gloves, but you dont buy that becauae you get better for lower cost elsewhere. Brand means nothing for anyone else than those trying to build it.
I wanted this gear to be good but it was not, a pity
This is a 3 year old review bro, dont judge.
I wonder what it's like now, if they have improved
Only piece i got along with was the fixar trousers. They still got a lot of kinks to work out in some of the line. Take a look at sasta
Cheers man. That sasta gear looks nice , do you recommend it? I'm going to have tob fix the issues on the original and see how it gets on then, my gear budget is gone for awhile now, as I've some varusteleka gear coming. amazing how something so simple like velcro failing can drive you so mad !! Lol
A little late to the party but in terms of the "skinny jeans" comment I would just like to provide an insight. That is not at all unusual for hiking/backpacking trousers. It's intentionally done to reduce the chance of chaffing when you are putting in multi-day, multi-mile trips. From chatting with people who are close to Johan that's the reason for the fit. I am a backpacker first, bushcrafter second, so maybe having that experience helped me understand what was going on with the pants before I talked with my friends.
As for the anorak I have found that Nikwax Cotton Proof helps *a lot* with poly-cotton blends.
I get what you mean, but I though they were designed as work/bushcraft/outdoor trousers. I've used wax on my varusteleka smock before but even though it was the same material as the garphyttan it didn't wet through like the garphyttan did before I waxed it. Over all I was really disappointed with the all the gear, some great ideas but very poorly executed. Just poor quality all round. I highlighted all the issues I had with the team but they brushed me off
Great honest review. Im a gardener and wear revolution race gpx trousers in pine green. Brilliant trousers
Really! That's cool, I've seen them advertised everywhere, was never sure about them, I'll have a look
The low price in comprison to Fjällräven makes theese products very interesting. Fjällräven has twice the price. At least where I am able to buy gear. Fjällräven completely exploaded in price in the 2010’s or so. The anoraks from both seem to be designed by Johan Skullman.
The design is good the quality is not so good , didn't really serve any purpose
Hey Wooly thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I have been looking at a Specialist Jacket rather than Fjallravens Kaipak. Not against spending the extra on better quality but Fjallravens gear seems essentially the same thing but I'm after something that's heardwearing for trekking etc. Cheers
Have you any more updates on their Gear? But concerned about some of the reviews I've read regarding the stitching etc
No updates as yet, they have been strangely quiet since I uploaded this video, basically everything I got had a fault, the velcro on the wrists of the original anorak nearly broke my heart, so bloody annoying. The anorak itself is quite nice I'd a not a little over designed , to many pockets etc. The trousers serve no purpose for me , haven't worn them in months , all style no substance. I'm testing the varusteleka sarma windproof gear at the moment, the opposite of Garphyttan, cheap well made , very simple design. I'd have a look at that, their own brand stuff. But then fjallraven is the best for a reason
Thanks pal will look towards the Fjallraven 👍
I've never tried their stuff, I can't afford it!
@@WoolysWorld So get some on ebay or second hand? Lots of people buy nice things, put them away almost new and get fat or so. Easilly half price or better then. Fjällräven is some of the highest quality you can get. And here in Scandinavia some of the stuff cost pretty much the same as Garphyttan. Not the high end stuff, but you know - a jacket which is good enough by far, and that youll probably have for the rest of your life.
Great & honest video review! I have recently bought the Garphyttan anorak (I did watch your vid on it before buying) and have to say that I do like it, though I have to agree with you about the hook and loop on the sleeves. For me there is also a massive design floor with the pockets which I will mention when I do my review. (I'm new to the RUclips videoing.) Fjallraven is expensive (I have a Skogso Jacket) but the quality of their garments is good. It's a shame that, like Fjallraven, Garghyttan can't do more with the waterproofing on their range of clothing. For a big part of the year, here in the UK our air is wet or damp, unlike Scandinavian countries that have a more dryer air. If any manufacture cracks the issue of quality 'waterproof' clothing, I'm sure that they'll take the market.
Thanks man, I'm still in the review phase with the coat but yes the velcro was a bit of a deal breaker, other small bits are going wrong. It's like the idea is great but the quality isn't , if you know what I mean
I bought the anorak but I returned it a week later. It looks great and I love the color combinations but it has a couple of design flaws. Pockets I don't understand the design and the Velcro is of poor quality and the buttons are too loose and poor stitching on some parts. I bought the Fjällräven Skogsö jacket instead and it's super great. I'm a bit surprised because Johan Skullman is such a legend and I think overall the clothes look great but something is missing.
@@matshult4781 thats exactly it. its like its all style and no quality.
With Johan Skullman (Swedish military survival expert and formally Fjallraven) behind the brand I was expecting better. I have been so close to buying some of their trousers, but as yet have not. I did buy some of their wool socks which have worn out in a very short time - and not from excessive use. I get your point that the design is good, but the sizing and quality is lacking. I am temped by the Varusteleka Outdoor pants instead as my Fjallraven ones are on their last legs - quite literally ho ho! I do have a pair of Lundhags Authentic trousers which are really good, but could get a bit melty at the crotch near a camp fire and I would like to avoid that. Great review - balanced and has saved me money no doubt. Thanks for this and keep the great content coming!
No problem buddy, the varusteleka gear is very very good, I've a one year review of the outdoor trousers coming out soon on red branch Bushcraft, I'm wearing them now
I actually found this a very difficult video to record, it was hard to say it in a balanced way , needless to say they stopped contacting me after this video! Lol
@@WoolysWorld I look forward to it. I have tried and failed to buy a pair of Beyond Nordic trousers. Good reviews on social media but it took over 5 weeks to tell me that they had no stock and I am still waiting my refund. Again like Garphyttan they are a new company and are shaking out their systems. Have you had any experience of Revolution Race. Another Swedish company and they seem to be doing well. Sizing can be an issue through.
I've seen the RR stuff, a bit skinny for my liking
Just watched this update, disappointing in expensive kit. Another reason to buy surplus which is usually relatively cheap and can take a lot of hammer, albeit the trade off is that it's not as aesthetically pleasing, but if you are outdoors and not wet through who cares?! always details that count, all best.
Yes man, very disappointed in the way this turned out, I haven't worn the stuff now in months, really put me off it. But I'm testing the varusteleka outdoor gear, anorak and trousers, they are the opposite, well made, cheapish, simple designs , have a look at the red branch Bushcraft RUclips channel I go through some stuff there. As always thanks for watching
@@WoolysWorld Yes will do, thanks for the reply, the only way to find out if kit works is to try it, some you win eh? all best mate.
Sounds like this company is still working out the bugs to an otherwise great outfit, hope things work out.
As far as Fjallraven, I think they, like many other outdoor or workwear brands, have become a fashion statement which likely lead to a massive surge in sales and therefore more outsourceing production.
Probably great for investors but for outdoor enthusiests looking for the best quality gear, you don't need to pay the premium now required for the name which is where that money is going.
They now have their own store located where all the boutique fashion stores are and rent must be insane.
That was last year, strangely enough they stopped contacting me after this video
First collections from a supplier you’ve never used will have teething problems but I’m sure they’ll sort it out. Great review as well. When it was launched I knew my fat arse would never fit into them
Lol, I hope they get it sorted, I think they will
I have Garphyttan Original Smock. I must say, for the price, its just not quality I was expecting. Loose threads and velcro is just horrible quality. I have anorak made by Sasta, it was cheaper than Garphyttan and quality is from different planet. Made in EU too, Garphyttan is made in china i believe. Never gonna buy Garphyttan again, I would rather even put 200€ more for some quality gear
Agreed, I was hoping it would be good but I was really bad, I have varusteleka sarma gear that is 1/3 the price and 1000 times better quality
If you like this kind of video you should have a look at my other channel, it's called red branch Bushcraft, I moved all my bushcraft and Survival video over there
@@WoolysWorld thanks. I will check that channel 👌
Cool
I don't know if you posting this has anything to do with it but they've just dropped their sale prices.Now have a few great deals, I've just picked up a cracking jacket cheap.
Really! I doubt it's anything to do with me??
As I said , I had quality issues , so watch out
@@WoolysWorld I'm ok with a sewing machine so I should be alright.
Lololo, what did you get?
@@WoolysWorld original smock brown with that big hood and lots of buttons haha!
I would callit teething problems lol. Hopefully they will get to the bottom of it. Skinny trousers in bushcraft. Stop the world and let me off
Now hey ! We will have none of that country stuff here !! Lol
"I hope I'm pronouncing that right". I'm sorry, but you're not. :D
Lol, sorry, it's like the older I get the worse I become at pronouncing things
@@WoolysWorld in all honesty you were not as far off as some other variants I’ve heard. 😀
But it’s always fun to hear foreigners struggle with our Swedish brand names like Mora, Fjällräven and Fällkniven. 😁
Oh man ! You should hear me with the varusteleka stuff! Lol which reminds me, I have another channel, it's all about bushcraft stuff , you might like it. It's called red branch Bushcraft
