What a great review - I'm a mountain biker and not a hiker, but you covered so many unique use-cases and small details that really helped. I appreciate your attention to detail and your great video!
Thank you. Glad you found it useful.
Greetings from the UK. I've watched quite a few reviews of these as I'm thinking of buying a pair. This is by far the best one so detailed and great footage! So clear and concise.
Thank you very much 🙂🥰

Great review Manav. The fabric really makes all the difference in this one.
The pocket falling short for a 6.5"+ smartphone is really something I hope they fix in the new versions

Seems they are purposly designing it for those who own iphone (not the pro series).
Thanks manav bhaiya 🙏🏽

Congratulations 🎉 on your completion of 12th. And You are always welcome in Himalayas. I live in uttrakhand.
I hope you get to hike in the Himalayas soon. Stay strong boy. We all are together in this pandemic. Wish to see you soon. 🙂
Sweet
@@Creedaz 😊.....❣️
🙂
Very helpful review .
Thank you Sunny bhai 🙂🙏
Thank you. ❤❤❤❤
Welcome!
I especially love the „suitable for mild conditions“ categorisation… below 4500 meters and above -10 degrees: for this area here, that means all year long, and in any place 😂 Thanks for the very informative video, greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
You live at quite a cold place.
Greetings from India 🙏
And yes, the trekpant is definitely not useful in cold places especially at high altitude.
@Creedaz I'm sorry I phrased it in such a misleading way ... what I meant was, we have these "mild conditions" everywhere here, all year round, because there are no mountains with 4500 meters here, and the winters where the thermometer drops below -10° C have become rare, "thanks" to global warming. And that was meant a bit ironically, because many people here would already consider -10° as "damn cold", not "mild".
Thank you bhai! Please make such videos on other gears as well.
Definitely bro
Very well explained 👍
Thank you
More products review like this please
Definitely
Very helpful review..
Glad that you find it useful bhai 🙂

Thanks veer ji 🙂
Nice review 👍 I got the same pants in Delhi for 799 during a clearance sale! Also please review some cheap hiking shoes (other than Forclaz Trek 500/100)
That's really nice 🙂
Nice review 👍
Thank you
Good job bro

Hahah definitely checking out this trousers now ... Instead of cross pockets I must prefer Curved inset pockets .... my Sorted comfort 😁
Sirji 🙂🙂
Excellent presented video.
Thanks
Hi, please help me to choose right trek pant for chandrashila tungnath trek. This is my first trek dont know what to wear and choose right gear. Please help me out. Thank you
Forclaz 500 will be good enough.
Dear, can we wear Forclaz trekking shorts in Goa in October?
I am not going for a hike or trek but a normal trip to Goa. I am considering these shorts for functional pockets, water repellent properties and stretchable material mostly !
Yes
@manav. That was a nice crisp review for a very practical product.
I had got the same for my last trek in Himachal during winter (one of those final days when world was still normal). It was a great pair of trek pants. But for one thing. The dark blue area on the back started to develop bobbling/ pilling. Never did any sliding with the pants, so no idea what caused it. Took it back to the decathlon store upon return and they were good enough to take it back and gave me a refund. I think that must just be a one off incident.
I did a lot of sliding wearing this trek pant in the snow. But glad you shared the pilling issue. Will keep it in mind. It may help in reviewing other trekking pants in future. 🙂
Thank you
Sorry, my mistake. It was on the front. The light blue area. Not the back. That’s why i was surprised.
Oh. No worries. Still a good input. 🙂
Good job Manav 👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you Jaee 🙂
Good Review 👍
Thanks
Great job guru ji.please make a information video for high altitude..
Yes, will do
I've just bought it. I love it very conformtable and resistable. and it is very cheaps
Glad you liked the trek pants Luis.
I have recently starting hiking and trekking like since last year I have done many small hikes being it triund, kheerganga, and various small hikes. Also trekks such as Kedarkantha and now I am planning to take a good backpack (Rucksack). So I am confused between decathlon backpack and tripole 80 l rucksack.
Can you please do a good comparison between those two rucksacks?
I do all my hikes in 30 L backpack.
I would suggest you to do the same.
great review.
thumbs up from Pakistan
Thank you Mughees Ahmed 🙏
Great detailed review. Can you plz suggest which one to look for for monsoon trekking and waterfalls visit in western ghats? Every pant looks quick dryable on decathlon!
Pick something that is convertible because you can remove the bottom part while hiking in Western ghats.
What do you suggest for EBC???
I m currently using North Face & Marmot,already used for Mardi Himal Base Camp,ABC & others.
What you have is better than the Forclaz Trek 500.
Fantastic review 👍
Thanks Will. 🙂
I'm going to buy these for my hike of the West Highland Way which I'm doing to raise money for the charity Shelter box.
That's great. I wish you all the very best 🙂👍
Big fan manav bhaiya. Hope we meet soon bhaiya! Thank you for this informative video! I am definitely going to check out the environmental labelling..

veru cool review sir, hello from romania
Hello 👋
You're welcome. 🙂
@@Creedaz :)
Tank you Brazil
You're welcome
Nice explained bro, but u didn't told about the size and fitting , say if i choose 34 inches as waist size, what is the overall length of the trouser in inches. As I am 6-ft by hight
You can read the product description on the website.
Superb 👌
Thanks Naveen
thank you for the review. will this pants be suitable for 0 degrees celcius with light rain and snow ?
Mt900
Occasionally I go on short tours, mountains and hills up to 2000 meters. I think these are the ideal pants for that? Autumn spring and mild winter.
Yes, it is
@@Creedaz thank man! Great video
can you recommend good track pant for monsoon hiking in sahyadris mountain ranges?
Anything that is light, loose fit and quick dry should work
are these ideal for Annapurna Tilicho lake , and other high passes
Yes, suitable for months of April - May and October window.
Very nice explaination👍Can i use Forclaz Trek 500 for college as an alternative for jeans?
Not sure
Great Review manav 🙏👍👍👍👍
Can u suggest me a good shoes and trak pants and kit i should carry in budget range
i am starting my career as a track lead in sahyadri
I have shared the logic that one should keep in mind while choosing a trekpant. Just buy something that is quick dry and breathable.
Any soft sole high ankle shoe would be nice to start with.
but this product is nt available now on decathlon app
if it is there plz send a link
They may have discontinued this product.
Thanks Manav, you forgot one thing.
They are easy to clean and wash does not require much effort 😅.
Thank you Ashish for adding this point. 🙂
Ola , este tecido é poliamida ou poliester ? Obrigado pelo video
I think it was polyester.
You will have to check the product description.
Now its available at 999.
Should I go for this or should I go for Cargo SG-300 ?
For Trekking and Casual purpose. Which one you suggest?
This one is enough for the casual purpose
Hi Manav, your videos are really nice & helpfull. Could you pls help me with some info on microspikes. Will I be able to rent it in Manali? Any references or if you can point to some shops.
I can buy if available at decent price. Currently need them for Hampta Pass Trek.
Thanks 🙂
Hi Sudhir,
I haven't used micro spikes to be honest. You will be able to rent them in and around Manali. However, I don't know any rental shop as I never rent anything.
All the best for your trek :)
Hello, can you recommend any shoes for trek like shrikhand mahadev yatra and kedarkantha? Budget Under 6k
FOECLAZ Trek 100 (The newer version of FORCLAZ Trek 500)
How long do you have this trousers and how its holding up?
I have sent it away as a giveaway
Hi Manav. I'm in Vashisht and would love to trek to Bhrigu with you if you're thinking of going there again soon.
Discovered your channel earlier tonight and have been watching your videos since.
Thank you Anand bro. I am glad you liked the videos. I live in the Mathiana village. Would definitely try and hike together. I will let you know whenever I plan to go back to Bhrigu lake. 🙂
@@Creedaz Thank you for your response. I live right next to the temple in Vashisht. Let me know when you're down next for supplies maybe we can get a cup of coffee.
Happy Friday!
Also your videos of trekking trails around Manali are a god sent.
Sure bhai. You can connect over whatsapp 8946-823-824
Good one
Thanks Sharath

🙂
I am from arunachal pradesh and me and my father always use to go at the mountain side for looking after our mithun. I hope this pant will work good
Yeah, it should work.
Very nicely explained. Even such detailed product vedio or explanation is not available at Decathlon website.
Please suggest for a breathable trek pant for North-east jungles.
Thanks in advance.
Love from Kolkata.
I don't remember any specific trekpant. You will have to do a bit of internet research.
Decathlon has a more breathable pants 👖 with their tropical line that's bug proof
Nice 👍
🙂🙂
Great video!!
Please suggest trekking pants for Monsoon treks in Sahayadris!!
Anything that is quick dry and breathable
@@Creedaz Thankyou
You're welcome
Which trek pant you suggest for Chadar trek?
MT900
Please upload reviews of Rucksack that are best according to you for
Will definitely do. 😊
Decathlon hiking pant NH100.
How good is that?
I haven't used it so can't say.
Ple tell me name you wearing tshirt product can we get it from decathlon
I don't remember the model of the fleece. I borrowed it from a friend.
Can we use this for everest base camp trek?
Yes
What tripod you use?
Sorry, don't remember
Which one is better trek 500 or trek 900,pls suggest.
Depends on where you are going to use them. 900 is for more rugged terrain.
How to choose size? I dont understand the sizing UK34 FR44 L34 as example in decathlon web.
See if you can try it out at the store. The website has also given measurement values.
Hey bro please review bear Grylls pants 👖 and well explained 👍
Will do whenever I get my hands on it
Can you review MT 900 also
Sure Manvendra. Will look into it.
Amazing and informative video. ❤️ Good job Manav bhai👍 Hope I can win this giveaway 😜😀
Haha . . Thanks Ram bhai
@@Creedaz you're welcome Bro 👍 keep going 👍
🙂🙂
??? 😱😱 be careful new friend. hope your always happy
👍
can we use it for riding bikes in winters ?
Forclaz MT900 will be a better option for winter bike rides.
@@Creedaz thanks for quick reply 😊, will definitely check it out.
First comment 🙌...
🙂🤔
These trousers are nice but why don’t they make them in a shorter leg . They all seem to be quite long in the leg length . 33 inch minimum . I’m am around 30 inch leg length
You can get them altered
@@Creedaz strangely enough I tried a pair on at decathlon and they were 31 leg length and are perfect . Weird sizes but certainly they were perfect . Bought a pair of quecha winter ones as well . Perfect 👍
