Reviews overview
Praise vs. Criticism
Really good trousers, but not as rough as I though
These pants are almoast perfect, If you are tall and skinny, these pants are perfect for you!
But after a year of daily use these show some wear:
- back pockets have almoast worn through (I carry my wallet in it)
- belt loop on the back has also worn through
- the front left pocket has torn (only from carrying a phone)
- material show signs of use above the zippers
Now I understand that some wear and tear is normal, but Fjallraven likes to say their products are really tough, and I wanted to express that if toughness is something you need in pants, go with Vidda Pros.

Decent trousers, but overpriced
Material is thin, durability seems questionable. Not very suitable for colder weather. There is no stretch at all, so need to measure carefully what length to shorten pants (measure when standing and sitting). Dark navy color material attracts a lot of dust and stained easily.

I've just come back from 2 weeks trekking in Bhutan and these pants delivered! Very comfortable when either hiking or just lying about. I was walking through thick brambles, sitting on coarse ground, scampering over rocks and standing in zero degrees at night. These pants were awesome throughout, and after all that they look as good as new. Will be buying more stuff from FJÄLLRÄVEN. Highly Recommended!
